This is a fic based in the 1970's era or somewhere around that. It is mainly based around the family of Clockers in Limited Life. Trying to combat the constantly counting down time. There will be 70's slang (That I might be using completely incorrectly, I wasn't alive back then), and technology from then. It's going to include the Clockers (Cleo, Scar, Bdubs), the Ties (Tango, Impulse, Etho, Skizz), The Bad Boys (Grian, Joel, Jimmy).

She tried a ton off stuff. She was scared for herself, but when her clock got under a minute, her heart was going super fast. Then it ticked down, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0. She closed her eyes, but still could hear the world around her. The clock ticking, the fax machine still ringing, the lights still buzzing. She opened her eyes and looked down at her wrist where the timer was, -0:20, -0:21, -0:22. Then she felt her heart stop, this was the moment. She felt her lungs stop taking in air, her blood stopped moving around in her body, but she was still conscious. Watching her timer, -1:30, -1:31, -1:32. She sat there for another 10 minutes, waiting, but nothing happened.
'Before you jump to any false conclusions, let me tell you a little something about some of our people.'
"This better be good."
'Don't worry, it will be.'
She sat down in the mist and motioned for Scar to do the same. He did, after a moment's hesitation.
'Let me tell you about the Watchers.'
