1 Falls Forward, 2 Steps Back

By D.J. Fronimos and Elke Lakey

Will Lina's fall through time bring her the love she lost?

Closeted lesbian schoolteacher Lina falls through a sinkhole into a cave. Upon her rescue, she realizes the world has changed and it is no longer 1919. Aspiring geologist Emery is a skeptic who neither believes in love nor the supernatural. Yet when fate places her outside the same cave Lina fell into, Emery feels compelled to help her.

Suddenly unemployed and homeless, Lina struggles to learn the ways of this new reality. She’s drawn to Emery and Emery to her, yet they are as different in everything as two people can possibly be. Whereas Lina accepts she somehow travelled through time and vows to make the best of it, Emery scoffs at the notion and believes Lina delusional or a lying manipulator.

Why, then, doesn’t Emery turn her back on Lina? Is it due to their mutual physical attraction? Or do the dreams that hound her reveal more than Emery wants to know?
