***Time travel...is it possible? Throw possible out the window, and believe that you can. After that, believe that once you've achieved the impossible, you're bound to muck things up. Royally.**** 

All your life, you've jumped from point A to point B in time like it's nothing. Unfortunately for you, you've been unable to protect those you love, including your mother. Every time you strive to save her, the past pushes back and staves your helping hand. You've settled for jumping back to witness happy events, like that day at the bookstore, the camping trip, or when she tickled you so hard you couldn't breathe. However, the happy events compound your grief, and you need to save her, despite the cost, and you finally succeed...except (and there's always an exception), once you return to the present, the ripple effects are too large to ignore. Will you commit your life to a dismal future, opt for a different time, or will you jump again to the traumatic event, and allow your mother to perish?
