Description
Time travel doesn’t actually solve problems. It just makes them more complex…
When Ythna is sent to serve the Beldame Thakkra, she is only a child, but as she grows, so does her love of her mistress. When tragedy strikes, Ythna has no idea what to do, or how to save herself from Obsolescence, until she meets the mysterious Jemima Brookwater. Ms. Brookwater claims to come from the future, and wants Ythna to come on a terrifying journey that uses a most unusual mode of travel.
This short story was acquired and edited for Tor.com by senior editor Patrick Nielsen Hayden.
