    Summary

    “Shut it, Abby, you’re gonna wake him up!”

    Grace buries his head deeper into the crook of his elbow, desperate to get a few more minutes of sleep, the movement eliciting the noise of giggling from the room around him. His brain doesn’t register anything strange about the sound, until he remembers that he’s supposed to be in the middle of space. Space, where Grace should be completely alone, and Rocky should be well on his way back to Erid.

    He jolts upright, suddenly far more awake. The quiet giggling erupts into full blown laughter, and Grace suddenly realises that he’s in his classroom, and the students laughing at him are the same ones he last taught fifteen years ago.

    Son of a biscuit.

    He’s on Earth again.

     

    Or

     

    Ryland Grace gets sent back in time and finds that getting launched into space is a lot harder when you aren’t being dragged there against your will.

    Summary

    Time is a fickle thing.

    One day you are young, playing in the rain with a smile etched onto your face. The next day you are old, graduating college and stressing about bills and student loans.

    Then in the next, you are young again, too young and too scared as you are told that you are going to be sent on a suicide mission to save your planet- and in the next heartbeat you are old again, walking with a cane and greying around the edges.

    Then, inexplicably, you are so so so very young again.

    And isn't that a shock for Ryland Grace to wake up to.

    Summary

    Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.

    “Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”

    Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.

    The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.

    Summary

    I was going to live. If this stranger gave me a month’s worth of food I could at least stretch that out with the taumoeba in between. I’d be sick as a dog by the time we reached Erid but I’d be alive.

    Rocky continued his happy thrilling for a full minute as I hugged him, and then pulled back and turned to look at the lab.

    < What other human want for trade, question? Rocky can make. Rocky make anything! >

    “I don’t know pal, but whatever he wants is his!” I said confidently.

    OR: Starving Grace needs to trade himself for food to survive the trip to Erid. A decision that will traumatize him and Rocky.
