About This Book

A group of friends debate predestination, using an image of Fate as a sightless typist whose burned pages become reality. One man, convinced destiny is written, takes a page concerning his own future and soon experiences a violent car wreck that freezes into a surreal instant; he then finds himself inexplicably standing on a quiet dirt path with no footprints and begins testing whether he is alive, dead, or in altered reality. The story examines the tension between free will and determinism and the unexpected practical and metaphysical consequences of attempting to change what seems written.
