For a Limited Time Only | Peng Shepherd
1 post | 1 read
A time-traveling salesman searches for the moments that truly matter in this poignant short story from nationally bestselling author Peng Shepherd.
Russ commutes to work—not across town but through time. An ambitious employee stuck in Oracle Marketing Solutions’ mundane “near past” division, he longs for the excitement of ancient eras and distant futures. But Oracle’s secretive management has refused every one of his transfer requests, and Russ can’t understand why…until he makes a devastating discovery about his own timeline.
Peng Shepherd’s For a Limited Time Only is part of The Time Traveler’s Passport, an unforgettable collection of stories about memory, identity, and choice curated by New York Times bestselling anthologist John Joseph Adams. Watch time fly as you read or listen to each short story in a single sitting.

4/5

Russ is a traveling salesman who sells opportunities by time traveling to the near past, but he's much rather be working in futures until he understands his presence. This was a really devastating short story about time and what matters in life that had me crying.

Clare-Dragonfly OK, I was puzzled that you have several books in a row with very similar covers, but they‘re all Amazon pub and all about time travel, so I guess it‘s on purpose? 1mo
sebrittainclark @Clare-Dragonfly Yeah, Amazon does these short story collections where the stories share some sort of theme and have related covers. I ended up reading them all one after the over this time 😆 1mo
