Time is not just something we're passing through. Sometimes, it lies in wait for us.
In The Gift of Time, five short stories explore what happens when people find themselves caught between past and present, love and loss, memory and survival.
A new homeowner ignores a warning hidden in his basement and discovers that some doors lead backward instead of out.
A young man living in the shadow of his dead brother comes face to face with violence and must decide who he will become.
A man spends a lifetime mourning the lover who vanished during a dangerous experiment, only to see her return when his own time is nearly gone.
In each story, time offers not control, but a chance.
Blending speculative fiction, quiet mystery, and emotional realism, The Gift of Time is a collection about endurance, regret, and the moments that give life meaning long after they have passed.
These are stories about the things we carry. What we lose-and, if we are lucky, what we are given back.
