Time, we all get to write our life story

"The emotions I felt while reading this short story were a roller coaster. I’m still trying to to grasp the truth of my own existence and whether I will leave a mark on this earth. Not for fame and fortune but to leave it with just a bit more.. than how I found it. "

Sinkhole

"James falls into a sinkhole and transmutes into his younger self, but with adult knowledge intact. This allows his rerun but alternate life to unfold against a background of pithy, memorable, unique scene-settings like the sky: blue as a promise you shouldn’t believe. The chapters use a rapid machine gun writing style like a ticking clock or maybe a bomb, that matches life, the present moment never stops or holds, the second-hand speeds, speeds forward, even if you know where ‘the shadows will fall.’ Young James' acerbity is deliciously disconcerting because he’s caught in the war of knowing future events as they occur in real time. The chapter, A Dance with Time, will be a Prom night description that lingers in your mind. Can James alter Mira’s future? Read on. Full of poignant sketches of being and philosophical wondering, backgrounded by bleak planetary spots, where Mira and James, together or separate, join the cause to rally down trodden or broken lives in Nicaragua, Bosnia and Haiti. Does Fate linger patiently? The text requires editing to remove overused and clichéd phrases, which occasionally distract from fast-paced, high-quality storytelling."
