‘Run,’ Bakri Says
by Ferrett Steinmetz
Irena is sent back in time to rescue her brother from a prison, all the time trusting
that if things go fatally wrong, she’ll be rewound for another attempt.
It was supposed to trigger a rewind when her heart stopped. If he’d misconfigured it,
Irena’s consciousness would have died in an immutable present.
