2. THE EDGE
If Professor Adriane Steinhauer had learned anything at all about time travel, it was that once you started you couldn't stop. Walking the fine line of otherwhen meant you had to stay out there on the Edge every second, of every minute, of every hour, of every day. To let up meant someone else would take your time. And, after all, time is all we have.
3. MILLERS' LUCK
Blacksmith Nathaniel Miller's beautiful young wife Clara has a lover, a lover who is more than willing to murder Nathaniel in order to make Clara his own. When a horseshoe is instrumental in Nathaniel's death, he places a curse upon it with his dying breath. After the curse claims the life of the unfaithful Clara and her lover, surely the curse will end.
4. CYPHONS
Twins Katu and Kana were born with the unique ability to siphon the powers and knowledge of anyone whose head they touched. Their power, a result of their parents exposure to radiation, was sometimes a blessing and sometimes a curse, but they had learned to control it and had promised their parents that they would never abuse it. Now, in the middle of a trans-Atlantic flight, that promise might be something they would have to break. At least, they'd have to break it if they hoped to get the Jumbo jet and its several hundred passengers safely on the ground.
5. FEBRUARY
When it's a bleak February on Earth, apparently it's bleak in Heaven as well. When a couple of people send up their morning prayers asking the Almighty to do something about the gray, dingy weather and the perpetually overcast skies, He reacts in a way that only He can.
