The Time Men

Some moments are meant to pass. Others refuse to.

On a quiet city evening, Alisha sits on a weathered bus bench wrapped in her late mother's shawl, expecting nothing more than the ride. What she gets instead is a stranger in a charcoal coat and fedora, a man who looks as though he stepped out of a 1940s photograph, and whose presence bends the second hand of the clock across the street to a trembling halt.

He calls himself a Time Man. He says she is in danger. He says her work, quiet lines of code buried inside a sealed quantum project, will rewrite more than anyone intended.

And he is not the only one watching.

As horrible coincidences start to plague her, Alisha begins to understand: someone is hunting her across the folds of time itself. Her only warnings are a stranger's whispered adjustments, a mother's voice rising impossibly from memory, and her own stubborn refusal to be predictable. But the Time Men have rules. They have deals. And they do not lose quietly.

To finish what she started, Alisha will have to trust a ghost from a war that never fully ended, and discover that the past she thought she'd buried has been reaching for her all along.
