"I had an ordinary life just like yours. Everything changed when I invented a time machine. Let me tell you how I did it. Then I'll tell you what happened after I did it."
In this compact, dazzling novelette (9500 words), our time traveller-narrator discovers that when you break the biggest rule of them all, the Consequences might not be what you expect.
