This story gives merely a glimpse of two young people who fall in love at first sight, and of the time-bending company they both work for: Chronomatics. Learn about Chronomatics’ unique services, all of which make use of a form of time dilation to either seem to add more hours to your day (relative to the world at large) or allow you to skip over whole decades of time as though only a single night’s sleep had passed. Learn about the challenges, one after another after another, which spring up to test the strength of their love as though to see whether it can be lost as easily and quickly as it was found. Your conceptions of love and your understanding of time may be challenged by Buying Time.
