    About this ebook

    Fleeing his misdeeds abroad, Jason William Donnelly finds himself aboard a turbulent international flight, where he encounters his future self.

    Will there ever be hoverboards, Jason asks, like we see in the movies? And when will America elect its first female president?

    But his future self has no interest in these matters. He’s there, instead, to offer a grim warning. A glimpse at the price Jason will pay for the choices he has made.

    “I could change,” Jason insists. “I could.”

    “No, Jason. You’ll never change. You know how I know? Because I am you.”

    This short story, from the author of GO HOME, AFTON, explores the consequences of evil, the cost of redemption, and the often futile nature of remorse.

    “...Brent Jones is an amazing writer!”
