"Chronophage" follows Sam Grisham, a disenchanted office drone who discovers a broken antique watch with the power to "eat" time. Using it to erase his endless workdays, Sam is soon intoxicated by the freedom of stolen hours. But he learns there's a terrible, human interest on this temporal debt—he inherits the emotional memories of those whose time he consumes. As his gluttony creates dangerous rifts in reality, Sam must choose between wielding his monstrous new power and reclaiming his own humanity before the past devours him whole.
