7/2/2023 0 Comments Snowed Over by Angie StantonPerhaps it’s determination as this girl is no shrinking violet. Her expression is a combination of relief and something else. With one hand I grip the sides of the two rowboats and extend my other. “I believe you’ve just proven otherwise.” Rainwater runs down my face and into my mouth. I’m not helpless,” she yells over the downpour. Then I return my attention to the foolish young woman whose cheeks are chafed and red from the cold. “Clearly, you have.” I clench my jaw ready to wring her neck but first secure her boat to mine. She’s entirely soaked, her hair flattened to her scalp, and she’s huddled up, her arms wrapped around herself, her legs bunched close, shivering. Within a minute I’m drenched to the bone.įinally, I’ve caught up to her and glide my boat up towards hers. Then the sky opens up and rain pours down in cold, heavy sheets and the air temperature plummets. I lower my head and row with all my strength hoping to reach her before she topples into the lake. What in God’s name is she doing? I mutter a curse. I glance at the infuriating girl out in the middle of the lake, and am incredulous to see her standing up in the boat trying to paddle with one oar. The wrinkle is that he only travels forward and she back, and their sole means of communication is a buried time capsule. Running Out of Time is a love story-spanning across decades-of a young man lost in time who risks everything to save a modern-day girl who is trapped in the past.
