We often dream of going back, of undoing mistakes, making different choices, or simply reliving a moment frozen in memory. But time is relentless, and its consequences are rarely what we expect. Many of these stories delve into the human obsession with time, exploring the eerie and often destructive ripple effects of trying to change the past. Each tale offers a haunting meditation on fate, regret, and the limits of human control. A young woman experiences her relationship as it ends and is then lived in reverse(The End Of The Beginning). A nameless narrator is addicted to creating ‘the perfect life,’ and will do anything to get it(Seven Seconds).
Interwoven among these stories of time travel are narratives steeped in magical realism and fantasy, where the ordinary bends into the extraordinary in unexpected ways. A young boy and a teenage girl share a super power that is anything but a 'gift' (Wish). A raven and a shadow spirit take in a young man from the rain and discover his dark secrets (A Shadow Of Jealousy).
Inspired by the unique energy and rain soaked towns of the Pacific Northwest, these stories blur the line between reality and myth, reminding us that time is both a force to be feared and a story waiting to be told.
