Meet the Cypher
Eleven of them.
You make twelve.
Every holiday has a Keeper. The rail runs in calendar order, so you can scroll your family’s year and find the one that matters to you.

The Static
It isn’t a person. It’s what’s left when the color and the sound get taken out of a day. It has no face. It can only take, and it has never made a single thing in its life. That’s how you beat it: you make something.
It never touches a kid on the page.
