Fata Narrat: Short Stories

Time's Weight

In a future where time travel has become reality, Dr. Eleanor Carter navigates the complex web of history to save her dying daughter from an incurable disease. As she stands before the portal, a wave of emotion washes over her-fear, hope, and despair. With every step through the temporal rift, she grapples with moral dilemmas and the consequences of altering the past. One night, in a small café filled with soft jazz music, Eleanor shares with her daughter, Lily, stories from their home time. 'Lily, this is where we come from,' she whispers, holding back tears. The weight of her decision grows heavier as she realizes the ripple effects could change everything they know. As she races against time, Eleanor must confront not only the ethical questions surrounding life and death but also the fragility of her relationship with Lily. Her thoughts during critical moments at the portal are consumed by guilt-what if her actions lead to something worse? This struggle becomes a central theme as Eleanor faces the ultimate moral dilemma: is it worth risking everything for one moment of hope?
