What if . . . you could redo it all?
The novella. #3 TimeTravel.

If you could go back in time and redo one thing in your life, what would it be? 

Anaya, a disillusioned, thirty-five-year-old doctor, has been looking after Gregory, a retired watchmaker and resident of an aged care facility. On her last visit, he gifts her his final creation, an exquisitely-crafted watch, knowing she will die tragically that very day. It will turn back time. 

With one condition: she must choose the time and place to reset the clock, and redo just one thing in her life. Regrets, it seems, are easy to realise when you're dying. Hers was dropping out of school at seventeen. 

But what if, after one small change, her life would become much worse than it was? Or unthinkable disasters result from a single step off her path? When the alternative is die now, her choice makes itself. And so, Anaya's story begins with her last thought. Would I have done this if I had any option but the grave? 

Would you?

Imagine a machine, a computer that can answer correctly any question you can think to ask, about absolutely anything at all. What would your question be? In this story, a psychologist and his friends are transported across time and space to find out exactly what that question might be for him and what the answer must involve. * Just one note. This story has a bit of a Christian bent to it. If that's just not your cup of tea, well then maybe this one is not for you! :P I just thought I should mention that here so you don't feel a little cheated halfway through. Cheers! ^_^

But...she didn't feel that way. Perhaps another life could give her that? A sense of renewal, a chance to be someone better and greater than the person she originally was. "But! I'll take the latter, I could use a change. A chance to be a different me is always appreciated. After all, it's not like I'm going to be a world-renowned hero right?" ___________ What happens when you die? Do you go to a religious after-life? Do you simply float in black nothingness or do you wake up in the body of another person? Well...for 17-year old Eos Theodoric, a girl who died in a tragic car accident, she knows the answer. Waking up in the body of an animal in service to an Animal Guardian who lives in a different world known as Balerion! Get ready for this one, a fantasy life isn't what it seems!
