Synopsis
Temporis Destruit Omne - Time Destroys EverythingLove and regret are two sides of the same coin, perpetually twisting in the air: how it lands will change Colin and Mya forever. And as the world around them burns, they walk through like ghosts, strangely unaffected, but at the same time, mirroring the strife all around them. However, Mya begins simply: a man on a train and a refrain in his mind and his notebook: "Regret is hell". He is riding the train alone when the locomotive comes to an unexpected stop and he is stranded next to a poor borough of an unnamed city in an unnamed state. His eyes linger on a specific building, and as he waits for his journey to resume, memories of his time in the city flood back. He daydreams. He relives his attendance at the city’s venerable university. Most poignantly, he experiences again the beautiful and mysterious Mya, the memories of whom have haunted him ever since. But are they memories? Between the lines of Mya’s romance is a meditation on virtue and vice when everything is falling apart. Like a city from a Jose Saramago novel, the location is strange but familiar, and foreign sights and smells tweak the reader’s imagination. Ultimately, Colin tells the story of how he and Mya met, how they fell in love, and how that coin fell. But is it how things really happened? In the interim, the reader sees how misfortune twists the world around Colin and Mya right down to the city's bitter heart. Perhaps it is the chaos that helps Colin and Mya’s relationship blossom. In a caste society, cruel decisions are made silently, on the periphery, that keep the two entrenched while they battle their own demons, take out their frustrations on each other, and finally transcend the trauma together. Mya keeps the reader guessing until the very end, holding its secrets close to its heart. It is unabashed and unafraid of stark truths and of romanticizing its darkness. In the end, the reader will find out what is real and what is true, which may or may not be mutually exclusive.
