The Music of Time. First Place in Time Traveler Challenge. Finalist in 2023 Vocal Writing Awards - Science Fiction.
The peculiar little man scurried back and forth, as he hooked various colored electrodes onto the clear cap upon Aegon's bald head. Chronos, as he was simply known, was awkwardly close to Aegon, his thin mustache almost kissed his forehead.

Brigida. Second Place in Time Traveler Challenge.
Large and looming, the arch and thrust of the joists make for a perfect hanging place. The red wood-planked sides rise tall to meet the posts that knit the walls together, while the white trim that outlines the crisscrossed wooden doors glows brightly in the dusky light of Montague, Massachusetts.

Plato's Wager. Runner-Up in Time Traveler Challenge.
399 BCE. Athens, Greece. The pyre is ready. Drenched in oil, swaddled in white cloth, Archelaus’s body lays in stately rest on the funereal platform. Hundreds of Athenians watch in somber silence as a young, bearded man lifts a blazing torch above his head. Blinking back tears, he sets his jaw and lowers the flame.

The Warren Harding Incident. Runner-Up in Time Traveler Challenge.
The footage was crystal clear. Every disgusting detail of the crime could be seen. The assassination of Abraham Lincoln was recorded in brilliant, gruesome clarity. The horror of the wound and the spread of shock amongst the faces in the crowd below were saved for all time in High Definition.

The Cooper Expedition. Runner-Up in Time Traveler Challenge.
Everyone knows where they were when British President Cooper was assassinated. 12.42pm May 29th 2069 walking through Bristol during his campaign for re-election. It was the trigger for the country’s fall into authoritarianism and the catalyst for a complete shift in the politics of Western Europe. For many it was the beginning of the end of democracy and the starting point of every major modern history book. If there was a single event that defined the 22nd Century it was this.

The Man Who Reinvented Time. Runner-Up in Time Traveler Challenge.
The name George Herbert was not always a synonym for genius, nor was his work on temporal translocation universally celebrated as it is today. During his lifetime, he was largely ignored, and most of those familiar with his research summarily dismissed it, often with a cruel dose of mockery. Now, of course, it is the basis for a whole branch of technology.

The Last 100 Years. Runner-Up in Time Traveler Challenge.
1936 Silas Buchanan’s seventieth birthday passed unnoticeably on a cold and lonely February morning. Regarded as one of the top American historians of his time, Silas lived a life consumed with documenting the past. The circumstances around his life propelled him into the field. His father had died during the last known battle of the Civil War days after his conception, and, as fate would have it, his grandfather had died defending the Alamo a mere fifteen days after his father had been conceived. Life comprised many coincidences, but even Silas could not ignore that these two events pre-determined his path in life.
