Tales Out of Time — Donald J. Bingle

Time may be many things, but it is definitely not on our side. It always wins, no matter how much we struggle against it.

Writer on Demand Vol. 3: Tales Out of Time includes three stories:

"Standing Still" (approximately 4,600 words) tells the story of one man trying to help another deal with the reality in which he finds himself. The story originally appeared in Time Twisters, edited by Jean Rabe and Martin H. Greenberg (DAW Books, Inc. 2007).

"Knowing She Would" (approximately 3,600 words) tells the story of a girl visited repeatedly by those who need her help in their journeys. The story originally appeared in Historical Hauntings, edited by Jean Rabe and Martin H. Greenberg (DAW Books, Inc. 2000).

"A Passion for Time Travel" (approximately 3,900 words) deals with the problems of a company that sells vacations throughout time. The story originally appeared in TimeShares, edited by Jean Rabe and Martin H. Greenberg (DAW Books, Inc. 2010).
