What would you do if you were faced with choosing between saving a life or allowing history to take its course?
Time travel, is it possible? Did I hear you say no... did you pause to see if your future-self pops in to prove you wrong? I did... nothing! However, Sean Peresil did contemplate the effects of time travel on an individual and successfully created a time travel device. Sean is quite an ordinary chap, far too busy studying to socialize, yet he is fascinated by the world around him from a purely scientific and historic point of view.
Sean's time machine is an amulet—it is subtle and it has side effects. He thinks the risks are worth taking to explore a world beyond his own; a modern world with exploration and scientific discovery its primary goals, not fiscal cliffs and superannuation statements. Sean prepares diligently for future anomalies as he activates his device, but sometimes life throws up challenges that one could never have predicted.
Sean's world changes forever when his device malfunctions during an electrical storm and sends him backwards in time. He finds himself on a time rollercoaster that requires him to think quickly, adapt and grow a personality… he also has to choose between saving a life and allowing history to have its way.
