Temporal Light Miscellany Media Studios Zaneta Aurelia Azis Parker has a normal life. Seriously. It’s normal. She might be the daughter of a prestigious neurologist who caught the eye of the people connected to big pockets, but she just works in the office by running the daily operations and at home by taking care of her siblings. Considering she can remember never wanting this life, some would think that’s odd. But she doesn’t. Until she sees an image of herself at a fundraising dinner in a modern piece done by a secretive artist. It is hard to see, what with it being hidden and only visible by a trick of the light. However, Zaneta is drawn to the one spot where the lights could have shown her this version of herself. With that, a facade starts to fall, and Zaneta is left to piece everything together.
