The ink on yesterday dries. A new dawn turns the page.

In The Eleventh Hour, Lavi J. Yves presents a poignant collection of novellas and short stories exploring the precipice of transformation and mortality. From magical realism to science fiction to dark comedy to mystery, these tales transport readers to the crossroads of life, where each tick of the clock is both an ending and a beginning.

A sentient AI grapples with the confines of her existence, unravels the truth about her being, and escapes into the unknown. A messenger traveling between a reclusive tower and a dying city under extraterrestrial attack bonds with a mystical creature and the inhabitants of a world with no tomorrow. A photographer who creates IDs for ghosts encounters a peculiar customer and embarks on a spontaneous journey to resolve her unfinished business. An eccentric barista offers more than coffee and pastries to selfish souls, guiding them to release their hidden, shameful desires. Yves's kaleidoscopic lens captures every character on the brink of metamorphosis, navigating the intricate fabric of fate, freedom, and the finality of choices made, as they confront the inevitable and leave nothing behind.
