All his vengeful heart ever wanted was to shoot the shooter before he could hurt those kids. All he’s ever wanted to do was to save all those children. Empathy calls on anger and vengeance when Christian inherits a device that allows him to go back in time. Over and over again, his empathetic heart kept getting shattered by the news of another child’s life cut short for no reason at all. A year later, he read about a similar school shooting on the internet. Christian Steele was only six years old when he heard about a high school kid who shot and killed a dozen elementary school students who’d been enjoying a field trip at the zoo. When you travel backward, you need to work fast because they now know where you are and they’re coming for you with the intent to kill you. And the warning is simple – when you travel backward through time, you incidentally delete a full microsecond from existence, causing a ripple felt by a vigilant policing agency far in the future. That’s all he gets from the elderly man who just died a few days prior. A heavy gold wristwatch, a diary passed down through the ages, and a letter of warning from Christian’s neighbor.
