Theo only exists for one hour a day. The rest belongs to "Theodore." But when he learns his condition isn’t neurological—he’s hosting a lost human consciousness—he must fight for his right to exist… before he’s erased for good. #YA #SF #WSPitW #WSPit

Melting back into the crowd, I watch as the mayor pulls back a velvet sheet to reveal a bench in the courtyard, complete with a plaque in Adelaide’s honor. Well-wishers decorate the bench and its surrounding area with flowers, signs, and stuffed animals. It may as well be her tombstone. #WIPSnips

She’s sounding more hysterical with every word. Screw it. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. “I’m going back in time to save Adelaide. I know that doesn’t make sense to you, Mom, but this is really happening and I need you to chill for a minute while I take care of things.” #WIPSnips #YA

“I do not have a boyfriend,” I blurt out. “Not even close.” “Despite your best intentions,” Avery singsongs. Mom’s spoon clinks on her bowl. “Is that true, Zu-Zu?” “No! There’s no one.” “Jayden Lundberg is not a ‘no one,’” Avery muses. “He’s actually semi-popular.” #WIPSnips #YA

"What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done?” He grimaces. “So much for beating around the bush. Hmm...well, I stole a candy bar when I was like four.” I hold up my index finger. “That doesn’t count. Every kid does that. It’s like a rite of passage.” #WIPSnips #YA

“I’m serious.” “So am I,” he insists, tugging the sweatshirt drawstrings so the hood cinches. He may as well be pulling on my heartstrings. Ugh, this is so messy. Even if I didn’t have the strictest mom known to man, I can’t start a relationship just to up and leave the state. #WIPSnips #YA

His hand covers mine, pressing it to his chest, while he leans in for a kiss. It’s sweet and playful, filling my mouth with the taste of dark chocolate. I tangle my free hand in his curls, trapping him in place while his fingers tease the skin along my lower back. #WIPSnips #YA

I flip the light switch, plunging the room into pitch darkness before painting it red with the safe light. The printing process is easier this time around, now that I've done it twice. Developer, stop bath, fix, rinse. #WIPSnips #YA

"And the Contax T2?" "Also hers." Like this makeshift darkroom and the bedroom upstairs and the rusting truck in the barn outside. Adelaide Walker may be dead—or just gone—but I can't even look out the window or at my mother's face without seeing her. #WIPSnips #YA

The interior of the barn is almost as dark as it is outside, save for the string lights hung haphazardly around the perimeter. High above us, rows of tobacco leaves are strung on poles that crisscross the rafters. #WIPSnips #YA

I wish I could print out a list of all the worst things that are going to happen in Micah’s next thirty years, including details like names, dates, times. What if he could stop the Oklahoma City bombing? Or pass on the hijackers’ names to the FAA to save thousands of lives? #WIPSnips #YA

I pull his hand back and kiss the tops of his knuckles. “I’m not going anywhere.” And it’s true. This is home now. Even if I win the reward money, I wouldn’t want to move back to California. If I can survive being killed—twice—I can survive living in North Carolina. #WIPSnips #YA

Mom’s gaze bounces back and forth, like she’s been on a merry-go-round and she’s trying to find solid ground. Ultimately, they focus on me. “Why didn’t you tell me?” But before I can respond, she answers her own question. “You tried to, but I didn’t listen.” #WIPSnips #YA

They've doubled down and hired a Billy Bucks lookalike, too. Tall and lanky, with dirty-blond hair that brushes his shoulders. His face is striking in that male model way, but his clothes and vibe are grungy enough to fit in with the skaters/rockstar wannabe table he came from. #WIPSnips #YA

"Dorothy from Walmart? How is she?" "Charming," I say, my voice dripping with sarcasm. His eyes widen. "I know, right? Which reminds me, I still owe her for our last game of pinochle." I ignore the urge to ask him if he makes a habit of playing old lady card games. #WIPSnips #YA
