[by ROBBIE MARTZEN] To him, time travel had only ever been about the past.

[by LYNN ROSA ANDRÉ] When Amilcar arrived, the plastic chairs had already been set up inside of the Eye.

[by Jessica Lentz] That day, the earth beneath our feet started shaking, out of the blue. First it felt like a soft, murmuring vibration running through my body. I stopped in my steps, took out an earbud. Lifted my gaze. In a few seconds’ time, it became stronger. The murmur rose into a roaring cry […]
