TRAVEL THROUGH IN TIME IN MY NEW SHORT STORY
My latest piece of speculative fiction, Firemaker, is now available to read on All World's Wayfarer. The story is free to read on their website for the next couple of months, but if you'd like a copy to keep forever, you can buy the Kindle version of the issue, which includes my story along with 11 others and a bonus story by Geri Meyers, for just $2.99 on Amazon.
This story has been a long time coming and I'm thrilled to finally be able to share it with you. You can click the button below to read the whole thing, but in the meantime, here's a short excerpt:
His dreams were growing more vivid all the time. It was a side effect of the strain of time travel on the human mind. He dreamed of standing on a scorched lakebed in the last moments before the boiling Sun consumed the Earth; of punching a teenaged Hitler square in the jaw; of rescuing Surya Sen from the executioner’s noose. The dreams were confusing. He couldn’t tell if these things had actually happened ... It was midday by the time the Traveler reached the machine. An old ache in his left shin was acting up again. With great effort, he pulled himself through the hatch and into the chair. He flipped the switches and felt the machine hum to life. This was the moment. He could go right now to the reading rooms at the Library of Alexandria or to the glass-domed Himalayan cities or to the royal court of the Great Zimbabwe. Or, he could attempt to subvert the universe. He took a deep breath and pulled the lever.
