Time travel stories often involve a character trying to change or prevent an action, choice, or situation that had a major effect on their life. For my story, I wanted to approach this time travel trope from a different angle. Here, the main character, Charlie, can't change the past or do anything to prevent his partner's death. What he does get, though, is closure and resolution courtesy of Celeste's knowledge and ability to give him what he needs: a last moment with Rebecca. The story is also set in a world where time itself is a commodity, and we see the same haves and have-nots that exist in the real world now, as well as corporate burdens that often command people's lives and expend our most precious resource, which is our time.
Interesting! Thanks, Phillip! Be sure to check out "Full Nova" and the rest of the stories on August 31!
