Franklin can travel through time--but his abilities are limited. He can only go into his own past, never further back and never the future.

Then Heather shows up. She says she's met the future him--and she can help him access his full potential in time travel, going anywhere in history or the future.

But there's something ominous about her time machine...

This 7000 word/25 page short story is a part of "The Future Collection," stories by NY Times bestselling sci fi author Beth Revis.

Phillip k dicks is a great author. This short story should have a warning for some readers due to the content but I’d still recommend it.

It's a shame to have an ability like that and callously waste it on hurting people. His outlook on life was terrible. Good for her!

I read this as part of my school for this year (picked it) and it was amazing. Really great characters and a wonderful plot. I wish there would have been a little more on asexuality, but other than that, a wonderfully crafted little story.

I loved this super short story. It took me about ten minutes to read and I was engaged every second. A quick short story about a time traveler meeting someone that he influences in his travels. If you like sci fi and quick, you'll love this.

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2015
ARC from author in exchange for an honest opinion.

This was a small story about a girl and a boy who could time travel. Beth's idea of using sci-fi genre is well known and she doesn't miss a chance to place it on every detail. While I idn't expect this plot when I began the short story, I was surprised by the ending and the justice which was given.

I can't wait to read the whole collection!

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2022
Love stories that make me think through my life. How do I evaluate my past actions without knowing the people I've interacted with? What response is proper when I meet a bully from my past? When can I alone, redress past wrongs? "The Girl & the Machine" made me think, without giving me the answers.

4.0 out of 5 stars I love how Beth writes
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2015
I love how Beth writes. Her stories make you think and feel. This one started out feeling one way and then turned sharply and became a different story all together. It made me think about consequences and how you can't ever really get away from them. You may think you can cheat but really you can't. They will always catch up with you.
