Apology
by Sam Ferree
A 26-year-old redheaded woman comes back in time to kill the one man in all history who
has no effect on anything.
“At no point in the past or future will your life have any bearing on anything, at
all,” the redheaded, twenty-something time traveler with a sleeve of tattoos tells me.
“That’s why it’s okay to kill you.”
