Your Life In Pictures

By David Schibi

Dan is a family man working in temporal mechanics the day his daughter dies. After that day nothing else - and no one else - matters: he is solely focused on breaking the temporal barrier and traveling back in time to save her. The key, he discovers, lies in the simplest things - pictures. He’s forsaken everyone and everything for the chance of a lifetime but even that may not be enough.

Keith just rolled his eyes and loosened his necktie before beginning to flip through the program. There wasn’t much information in it. Printed
