October 31[edit]
Fiction story ID[edit]
There was a fiction book story (the author was possibly American), in which the duration of the sunrise gradually shortened with each day by a fraction of a second, the day duration decreases and then various nasty beings start to appear. No clues other than that. Any suggestions? Brandmeistertalk 23:31, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
- A Deepness in the Sky has a kind of strobelight sun, but there the blink-rate gradually decreases... AnonMoos (talk) 00:23, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
- Do you remember about when you might have read/heard of it? I'm not seeing anything that looks familiar, but that would help at least rule out anything published after that point. SarahTheEntwife (talk) 14:32, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
