Closed out by a powerful look at the repercussions of one single detail about time and space and the future, this powerful volume twists time in the most unpredictable ways. Includes:"Yesterday, When I Was Twenty" by Angela Penrose"One Sun, No Waiting" by Annie Reed"Ice in D Minor" by Anthea Sharp"Predict THIS" by Michael D. Britton"Time in Death" by C. A. Rowland"Time, Expressed as an Entrée" by Robert Jeschonek"The Chicken Time Machine" by Valerie Brook"With Light Years Between Us" by Robert J.
