Makers

If a man could go back in time to right a wrong, to save a loved one, should he do it? Consider a man whose regret has so surpassed his hope that he answered “yes” and then actually did it. He actually did travel back in time to fix things.

And what if, when he woke, things were broken again? Such a man would likely fix them again. And wake to find them broken. And fix them again to watch them fall apart again. And again. And again. And again.

There is no potential when you travel backstream, you see. The universe has no magic there to give life to the otherwhens you briefly summon. The moment he changed something back in time he merely created something else that could have been, and could have beens are as common and ephemeral as raindrops.

For a man who refused in his grief to acknowledge that fact, how many iterations of joyous success and heartrending loss would it take before he finally lost his reason and decided he would do anything to achieve his goal? Sacrifice anyone and anything to get it?

What happens when a man like that knows a way to achieve anything, at a cost of everything, and is no longer hesitant about the price?

Greetings beautiful readers! Makers is under construction and is targeted for one or more chapters released each week until completion. Holidays and burn weekends probably won't have a chapter update.

Curious about Weaving and Making, the magic of this world? Read Weavers, the first novella in the series. Or check out the Weaving primer in the Seedopedia. The Seedopedia also has appendix things like the Cast of Characters and the Glossary, when I get around to making a glossary.

If you would like a picture of what happens between where Weavers drops off and Makers starts up, have a look at some of the conversations Rabin overhears in Skipping Channels.

Thank you for reading!
