I hope you enjoyed this glimpse into the most impactful and lived of all Marcus Hollister’s lives as a time jumper. If you read this after Overlap, thank you for digging deeper into this story of love, loss, regret, and redemption as it explores the consequences of our decisions. If you have not read Overlap: The Lives of a Former Time Jumper, please enjoy that next and be a fly on the wall as Marcus reveals the dark secrets of how he and others used his time machine.


I thought of writing this short story while listening to Kite by U2. It is a deeply emotional song that always touches me no matter how many times I have heard it. Perhaps you have a song or songs that strike such a chord with you.

Life is made of the moments we treasure, the challenges we endure and overcome, and the losses we face along the way. If we learn to cherish what is truly important, then our lives can be well lived.
