Would you give up the future to save the past?

Thirteen years have passed since the fiery explosion that killed seven people and shattered the lives of thousands more, but Amanda Martin is unable to forgive herself for her part in the tragedy. Deep in the hills of Arizona, she watches an approaching storm, hoping against hope that the torrential rains and violent floods will wash away some of her pain. In a flash of lightning, she sees something that wasn't there just seconds before -- a lone woman struggling in the churning waters hundreds of feet below.

After a difficult rescue that almost claims both their lives, Amanda brings the mud soaked stranger to the safety of her cabin. But this is no stranger. For when the mud is washed off, Amanda instantly recognizes the disheveled woman -- as one of the seven who died in that horrible accident!

Nothing Exists except by virtue of a disequilibrium, an Injustice.
All Existence is a theft paid for by other Existences;
no Life flowers except on a Cemetery.
