Synopsis
You are in two worlds at the same time. Your body is in the other world, but your heart is in this one.
To exist in the virtual world is to have two bodies, four hands, two hearts. In Shadowtime, a guide to this double world leads you through irreconcilable realities and through the virtual as a place to take shelter.
