ERASURE
Peter Givens appears on a road in the present day, sick and dying from the consequences of time travel. This is the price he was prepared to pay for the chance, however slight, to change one thing in the past.
But time travel is illegal, and his plan has drawn the attention of authorities and criminals alike, all of whom have something to gain, and a lot to lose, from his journey of redemption.
Work in progress.
