I've always loved time-travel stories. From Back to the Future through The Terminator to Primer it's fascinating how different writers approach the idea. Who hasn't wanted to go back and erase a mistake in their past? And who hasn't been confused by the Grandfather Paradox, the first time they heard it?
So I decided to take a crack at the genre myself. The beauty of approaching an impossible feat is that there's no single 'right' way to describe it. When your protagonist time travels, do they change the present they came from? Create a parallel (or diverging) timeline? Discover that time is fixed, and they have no free will after all? As long as you keep the rules consistent, any or all of those are perfectly viable answers.
So join 'Joe' as he discovers whether he can change his fate.
Genre: Science Fiction
