From him she learns how to weld, forge, and make beautiful things out of ordinary pieces of steel and metal. When her dad has a stroke, and lying on his death bed, he whispers one last inaudible word to his daughter. Following it, Tee eventually discovers a notebook hidden inside his workshop. In it, she finds detailed instructions how to build a time machine.Despite her fervent wish, her heart's desperate longing to see her father again, and despite her wanting to honor his last wish to build the machine, deep down Tee knows that there is no such thing as traveling through time. Reluctantly, she begins to build what she believes is simply a means, set up by her father, to ease her grief and help her get through the darkest time of her young life.She doesn't know yet that her father's last gift to her will change her in the most profound way. ***"A truly exceptional piece of writing.""Stefan Bolz can take mere words and turn them into a tapestry of feelings, colors, sounds and smells...""Made me cry."[Amazon Reviewers]***"Stefan Bolz's writing is not merely inventive but lyrical, almost mystical. You can't help but fall under the spell of the worlds he creates, the characters he gives life to. He's one of that vanguard of authors bringing speculative fiction into a new silver age."-- Samuel Peralta, award-winning author and creator of 'The Future Chronicles'***Originally published in The Time Travel Chronicles (2015), edited by Crystal Watanabe, part of The Future Chronicles, series editor Samuel Peralta.www.futurechronicles.net
