The Past or Future

In the gaslit streets of 1872 London, twenty-year-old David Mitchell carries a burden that no young man should bear - the weight of tomorrow's tragedies witnessed through today's eyes. Born with an inexplicable gift that allows him to experience vivid visions of future events, David lives trapped between two timelines: the Victorian era he inhabits and the modern world he witnesses in his visions.
The story explores David's struggle as he navigates life as a clerk at a prominent London bank while grappling with visions of future technological marvels, impending disasters, and personal tragedies that won't occur for over a century. His gift is both a blessing and a curse - while he can see what's coming, he's bound by the limitations of his own time period and the cruel irony that some futures are impossible to prevent.
