A Time for Everything

“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven…”

With these words, the writer of Ecclesiastes launches into his famous list of twenty-eight “times”, a poem that explores the breadth of humanity’s relationship with life, death, and God.

This collection explores these statements of the times of life through a speculative fiction lens, using science fiction and fantasy to do what these genres do best: ask “what if?” and “why?” And in keeping with the ancient writer’s use of the phrase “a time to . . .”, each story explores these times of life with an imaginative manipulation of time.

FEATURING…

“A Time to Weep” by Jered Gering

Can a simple prayer break the bounds of time? 

Out of this simple question comes a truly strange story…a tale I like to describe as a cross between This Present Darkness, The Terminator, and It’s a Wonderful Life—with a dash of Loki.
