"I linked our ancestor's aborted promises to my own, a kind of quantum entanglement. I attempted to erase the distance between us, the years, the laws of physics and of man--just papery things, really. I'd seen my share of time travel flics, and it seemed plausible. Scientists say we are not matter but energy. A sheet of paper turns out to be a magic carpet after all, so I hop on, riding its electric waves through time."
