Excellent story! Thank you, Bill.

I share Bill's love of classic time pieces, which is why in my time-travel story a 1888 Waltham Model 937 Riverside Maximus 21J certified railroad watch saves the boy who owns it and his family.

As always Bill I enjoyed this story. You seem to have a watch theme running through your stories?

Thank you, Kristofa. I like watches and work them into stories now and then. Pens, too, so you'll see magical or mysterious pens in some of my stories, as well.

This is my new favorite of yours, Bill. A wonderful story and fantastic ending. Have you ever considered taking your Substack stories and putting them into physical print as a collection? I would definitely buy. Sundays wouldn't be the same without one of your stories!

Really enjoyed this one. I think I read it a while back when it showed up on Facebook. It was good then and it was definitely worth reading a second time.

I'm glad you enjoyed Too Much Love, Christina. His fate was preordained.

Thank you, Brian. I like the way Too Much Love came together, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I'm 99 percent sure (make that 100 percent, but it's super hot and humid here today, which deprives me of any certainty other than I want to have a cold water nearby at all times) that I'll be publishing a collection of short stories, either later this year or in early 2023.
