MOONVEIL
A TOWN TWISTED IN TIME
Paul Gustafson, creator of Moonveil: A Town Twisted in Time, is a hypnotherapist, musician, and lifelong observer of patterns, stories, and the strange beauty found between worlds. Moonveil explores the quiet edges of consciousness, time, and transformation. It’s a portal into the unknown.
When a quiet, neurodivergent janitor is thrown back in time by a freak lab accident, she lands in 1924 Moonveil—a town full of secrets and strange, unexplained phenomena. Cut off from her medication and her world, she takes refuge in a hardware store and forms tenuous bonds with a local doctor and a sharp-eyed historian.
As reality begins to shift around her and buried truths surface, she must decide whether getting home is even possible, or if staying in this strange, shifting town is the only thing that makes sense anymore.
MEET THE CHARACTERS
Rita Woodley
A quietly brilliant, time-displaced, neurodivergent, sees patterns others miss and truths they’d rather avoid.
Dr Berquist
With little fanfare, Dr. Berquist brings Rita into his world. Their bond is quiet, natural and built on unspoken trust.
Dr Sarah Kim
Leads the 2024 team to bring Rita home. Calm, intuitive, and quietly decisive. She stepped forward when others stalled.
Edgar Blackwood
CEO of Veil Kinetics – calculated and quietly ruthless. Sees the shimmer not as a threat but as a resource to exploit.
Olivia Woodley
Rita’s mom was caught between grief and the impossible truth until she heard her distant voice, and everything changed.
Pastor Winslow
Moonveil’s silver-tongued preacher. He is charming on the surface but much less a man of God than a grifter in disguise.
Maggie Rivers
Quick with a comeback, slow to trust. Maggie’s loyalty to Rita hides behind grit, wit, and a steady eye for the truth.
Charles Fenwick
Project manager of the bridge rebuild, vanished during a routine inspection. Some say he’s still out there, listening.
Eliza Guerrette
Owns Moonveil hardware store. She gave Rita a job and keeps a close eye, outwardly coarse but quietly protective.
