January's Thaw
J Conrad Guest
Many people obsess over their past, but no one more than I. Perchance it’s
because, as a man out of time, I left behind so much of it unlived. If that
makes little sense, consider that I’m a time traveler.
Although the backdrop for my story is time travel and alternate realities,
the underlying theme is a more human one—of love lost, another love
found only to be lost, and of a decision, the result of a single regret brought
about by the realization that my self-professed courage to never risk my
heart to love was instead cowardice, to rectify a wrong in a life filled with
myriad regrets.
You may judge me, as it is man’s nature to judge others, or discount my
story as the ravings of a lunatic mind or simply the fiction of an overactive
imagination—but before you do, I ask that you read the words that follow
and then ask yourself if you would have acted any differently.
