How great to see you writing in The Ink Well, @jasonbu! And wow, you have a wonderful gift for storytelling. This one took my breath away. I was yelling, "No, Clara, no!!!" But your story suggests that it's just darn hard to go back and change the trajectory of time, even if you have the technology. Nicely done. Very impactful story!

By the way, I wanted to mention that one thing we ask of our community members is to engage in the community by reading and commenting on the work of at least two other writers for each story you publish in The Ink Well. Check out our Treasure Trove of Tips, Reminders and Guidelines; it's a great resource for learning more about how the community works!
