Wrong Place Wrong Time Summary Novels & Stories

POV: SOPHIE “The Lycan King can handle himself; you know the power he possesses and are aware of the strength of his beast,” Elara replied, glancing around. “I just hope his return won't take too long.” “Time inside is different from ours.” The moon elegantly commented in her drawn-out speech. “Probably seconds have passed in purgatory, while we have been waiting here for more than a day since the cursed one's departure.” “Time dilation… I read about it in a book of magic from the witches' clan!” I widened my eyes when a logical thought struck me. “Of course, time in purgatory is slower; it prolongs the suffering.”

It was a waste of time. ****

I look back at my case study options and I add a fourth one and then immediately cross it out before I can finish writing it. But the two words are still visible under the single line. False testimony.

Instead, I moved into a very small apartment in the southern part of the city. The place only had two rooms. The windowsill was narrow, and the kitchen was small. Compared to the Newman estate, it looked shabby, like a completely different world. However, on the first night I slept there, I slept more peacefully than I had in the past five years. The next day, I went to the hand clinic I had already scheduled. The doctor removed the brace and examined me again before finally telling me with regret that the old injury in my right wrist had been delayed for too long. Although the bones had healed, the nerve and tendon damage would be very difficult to fully reverse.

Except— “That one,” Ivy said, pointing. Sebastian leaned in. It looked normal. Until it didn’t. “It’s duplicated,” he said. “No.” He frowned. “What?” “It’s not duplicated,” Ivy corrected. “It’s mirrored.” A pause. Then— “That’s not the same thing.” Sebastian’s expression shifted slightly. “Explain.” Ivy clicked into the entry. “It’s the same amount,” she said. “The same account.” “But the timestamp is off by exactly six minutes.”

"The timestamp format. Our IT system uses a specific format for access logs. This format changed fourteen months ago when we updated our server infrastructure. The logs here are using the old format on dates that fall after the update." My lawyer leaned forward. "Say that again more slowly." "Before the infrastructure update our logs showed timestamps in a format with the date first then the time then the user ID. After the update the format changed to user ID first then time then date. It is a small difference but it is consistent across every single log in our system after the update date." I pointed to the document.

Marcus frowns. “What?” I point to the date again. “That’s the wrong format.” Adrian leans closer. “What do you mean?” “The system clock.” Marcus tilts his head. “Okay, now we’re in architect-turned-forensic territory.” I zoom in on the corner of the display. “The internal dash system was imported from Germany.”

I stare at my phone as I begin to play Sudoku. I hear the wheels turn and pull to a stop in front of me and I hear the people around me getting up to get on the bus as it pulls up. I stand along with them and put my phone in my pocket. Considering the buses are supposed to arrive every ten minutes in this busier area of the city, this bus is late by at least 142 seconds.
