Eighty-Three
by Erik Wecks
Starting at age thirteen, Noah jumps through his life—to his time as a kid, a college
student, a movie producer, Rachel’s husband, and an old man—sometimes forward and
sometimes backward, but (nearly) always landing in a prime-numbered year and never quite
sure whether he’s really time traveling or, if he is, whether he’s able to change
things.
If I remember right, I don’t have much time, so let me get to the point. What’s
really hard to understand is whether or not you can change stuff.
