Cronus

A young Black woman challenges the indignity of a segregated dystopian future and exposes a time-bending secret in this dark, defiant short story from P. Djèlí Clark, award-winning author of Ring Shout.

The year is 2030. Annabeth works a stable job at CRONUS, a time travel company that caters to wealthy clients. Life is harsh, but she’s willing to keep her head down—until a vision of a past that never happened leads her to question everything she knows. They call it madness, but she’ll learn to call it memory.

P. Djélì Clark’s Cronus is part of The Time Traveler’s Passport, an unforgettable collection of stories about memory, identity, and choice. Watch time fly as you read or listen to each short story in a single sitting.
