Cronus
by P. Djèlí Clark (Amazon Original Stories, November 2025) [ebook].
The year is 2030. Annabeth works a stable job at CRONUS, a time travel company that caters to wealthy clients. Life is harsh, but she’s willing to keep her head down—until a vision of a past that never happened leads her to question everything she knows. They call it madness, but she’ll learn to call it memory.
—from publicity material
“How's work in the time-travel business?” he asked finally
Annabeth touched the sickle pin at her chest. “Mostly White folk trying to gentrify the past.” Her gaze turned back to one of the blackboards.
