Back of Jacket: (Edited for spoilers)

Rule One: Travel can only occur to a point within your lifetime.
Rule Two: You can only travel for ninety seconds.
Rule Three: You can only observe.
The rules cannot be broken.

Scientist Beth Darlow has built a machine that allows human consciousness to travel through time—to any point in the traveler's lifetime—and relive moments of their life. An impossible breakthrough, but it's not perfect: the traveler has no way to interact with the past. They can only observe.

Simply viewing personal history should not alter the present, but with each new observation she makes, her own timeline begins to warp.

Please RSVP in advance and revise if unable to attend. There is a limit of 12 as well as a waiting list that fills in when RSVP’s are canceled.

We’ll already have a table inside, please ask the restaurant host where we are seated.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Fundraising is now turned on for events and is voluntary. I am a working college student that organizes the group. Meetup charges $45 monthly and any donations are greatly appreciated but not expected. Thank you.
