14 Hours of Saturn
Two weeks ago, on her 24th birthday, Saturn O Syres moved to a new apartment, in a new city, about 125 miles away from where she grew up. It’s Saturday, and she starts her new dream job on Monday. She had plans for outdoor activities to spend the day, but the weather had other ideas for her.
Spend the day with Saturn as she reminisces about growing up in Northwest Indiana with loving, supportive, and sometimes too lenient parents, along with an overbearing big sister named Venus. Her youth was filled with craft sticks, magazine ads, a creative mind, and enough bad decisions to last her a lifetime. She reflects on this while discovering new and wonderful things about the city she now calls home. Will it be the dream she kept having, or another dead-end road for her?
This was written by the same author who wrote the Afternoon Rebecca series. It is not a part of that series, but it is in the same universe.

The mix of nostalgia and self-discovery is both comforting and thought-provoking. It’s a story that feels familiar yet fresh, showing how the past can shape our future in ways we never reasonably expect.
