by J. E. Walters
For a fee, Jenning’s time-travel agency which will send Webster back through the time
stream to inhabit other’s bodies in an attempt to alter some important event such as
the loss of a son in Vietnam.
The fabric of time is a delicate, almost whimsical thing. Our success rate runs at nearly
eight-two percent, and within the industry that is an enviable rate. But we just can not
guarantee success.
