The world around Kate was completely stationary, there was no movement. Not even the air around her stirred. All was still.’OK now?’ It was the man, looking at her calmly. Kate’s face was still stinging from his slap. ‘Wha..who..you!’ Kate was addressing her assailant, who not only was able to move, but apparently completely oblivious to what has just happened. ‘Fine. Thank you.’ she replied meekly. |

..and another coffee please…Thanks.Another day she thought as she looked through the window. She was, she liked to think, a quiet sort of a person, liked to wear black to remain inconspicuous, today was no exception, black knitted top, long black skirt, and her long black coat, black knee length boots and black handbag completed the ensemble. She was quite tall, slim, with angular features, which always seemed to make her look stern. |
This book details how the duo first meets, and their first contact with their nemesis, The Drifter.
Kate is a quiet woman, not wanting to stand out in a crowd. She leads a quiet uneventful life, until that is the Time Detective enters her life, and Kate is dragged on a non-stop ride, never sure if the next revelation is going to be her last breath. It marks the beginnings of their adventures, wandering through the tangent planes.

Definition:
A magic square is an arrangement of the numbers from 1 to n^2 (n-squared) in an ‘n x n‘ matrix, with each number occurring exactly once, and such that the sum of the entries of any row, any column, or any main diagonal is the same (known as the ‘Magic Constant’).
The ‘Magic Constant’ (or sum of the entries) can be arrived at by applying the following equation:
Based on: 35mm film, 50mm lens,
