A Change in Time

By Benjamin Reynolds

Chris Jenkins has lived most of his life as a nominal Christian. During lunch, an unusual visitor hints this may be his last day and to immediately change his life. Chris chooses to ignore the warning and minutes later, dies of a heart attack. Condemned and soon to meet his eternal fate, Chris manages to plead for one more opportunity to live and make things right. To teach Chris a lesson, the angelic visitor sends Chris back in time to witness the day Jesus dies through the body of another person. Will seeing things from another perspective change Chris or has his fate been sealed?

Chapter 1 - The Choice

 Chris Jenkins? the tall white stranger asks.

He slides into the booth across from me as if already invited. I stop chewing and think this guy has got some nerve.

Mind if I taste some of those fries? he asks. Before I answer, he reaches over and helps himself.

Excuse me, do I know you? I ask.

He chews for about a minute and then wipes his mouth and smiles.

Look, maybe you’ve got me mixed up with someone else or . . .

No, I think I’ve got the right Chris Jenkins, he says and then reaches into his black suit jacket. He pulls out a small black book, turns several pages, then looks up 99and laughs.

I huff and then shake my head. Look, just . . .

Chris Jenkins, he interrupts. 1257 Cherry Hill Lane. Chicago, Illinois. Social security number three five seven, twenty-two, fifteen seventy-nine. Born March 7, 1975, at 3:57 AM to Mary and Todd Jenkins. Is that correct?

I feel my chest tighten as I stare into his deep-blue eyes.

Who are you? I ask, trying not to appear worried.

I’m . . .

Would you like to order a drink sir? my server asks.

He looks at her and shakes his head. Can you give us a few minutes Mam? he asks politely.

Sure honey, I’ll be back in five, she says and walks away.

The man reaches over and grabs several more fries.

Hey, I say.

These taste good. I love the seasoning they use here, he says casually before wiping his hands and tucking the book back in his coat.

Is there something I can help you with? I ask.

Still chewing, he nods and waves his finger.

Strait to the point! he says after swallowing.

I call for the bill.

The man strokes his short, black hair and looks around the diner before clasping his hands and leaning forward. Chris, I’ve got a deal for you.

A deal, I say after chuckling. I look for the server out of the corner
