A Speculation of Time by T. Thorn Coyle

A heart's fondest desire. Time traveling magicians. Futures barely imagined, built in a past that has to change.

These stories reach for the stars, slide across dance floors, and walk through human hearts and minds. They ask what our world can be if we dare to dream

Here are five, time-traveling tales: magic shoes, the scent of oranges, a past barely imagined, and a snowy day made possible by the best humanity has to offer.

To build a better future, sometimes we need to dance.

Close your eyes, open out your arms, and grasp a star.

Excerpt

"What do I want?"

I stalled for time, suddenly wishing I had a glass of wine, a cup of tea… anything to keep my mouth busy for another moment or two. To keep at bay the words that had been beating inside my soul for months now. The words that I had throttled back and squashed, afraid to speak them aloud. Afraid of Lexi's dismay, or her dismissal.

Those words crowded like birds beating their wings against the back of my teeth until my mouth opened and released them into flight.

"I want to see if we make it through okay."
