My Tease for this week is from

There are 7 short stories in this anthology and I chose a brief tease from each one.

Time Piece by Anna Simpson

She reaches out a hand, letting the golden watch swing in my face.

“It’s the key to–” She jumps and glances behind her.

Dark Rose by Marissa Halvorson

Why come all the way to this world to ruin it?

Dragon Flight by J. Keller Ford

I close my eyes and breathe deep, certain I’m mistaken, but when I open my eyes, the veil remains.

The 13th Month by L.S. Murphy

 I stood, not knowing my next move, and trying not to freak out as I stared down at my hand, half expecting it to glow or something.

Sleepless Beauty by Kimberly Kay

Will I remain seventeen, or will I grow old and die while just sitting around?

Stage Fright by Erika Beebe

“Ever since you moved here, you’ve been trying to steal my life. You’re going to burn for this, Hannah.”

A Morrow More by Danielle E. Shipley

I have yet to lose my fascination with Inkborn hair.

Or Inkborn movement.

Or the king’s part-Inkborn son.

So, which one grabs you the most?

Synopsis

What if today never ends?

What if everything about life—everything anyone hoped to be, to do, to experience—never happens?

Whether sitting in a chair, driving down the road, in surgery, jumping off a cliff or flying … that’s where you’d be … forever.

Unless …

In One More Day, Erika Beebe, Marissa Halvorson, Kimberly Kay, J. Keller Ford, Danielle E. Shipley and Anna Simpson join L.S. Murphy to give us their twists, surprising us with answers to two big questions, all from the perspective of characters under the age of eighteen.

How do we restart time?

How do we make everything go back to normal?

The answers, in whatever the world—human, alien, medieval, fantasy or fairytale—could,maybe, happen today.

Right now.

What would you do if this happened … to you?
