Accidents happen,
life goes on in sorrow,
the future is a mystery\u2026 right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orphaned by a car wreck, 16 year old Alex and little brother Isaiah now live with Aunt Mackie in a ‘very nice’ Chicago subdivision where a white neighbor rants in the Black family’s kitchen about requiring background checks for renters<\/a> during a rap mega-star’s concert nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She doesn’t know, no one knows that after the accident Alex began seeing the future<\/a> of every object – and every person – that his fingers touch. Future of an ice cream dipper at Scoops is no big deal. But the longer he touches, the more of the future he sees, so touching the people he cares about is too much to bear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When exactly will girlfriend Talia walk away from their future together?
How long can Alex endure the future invading his every breath?
Why is 12-year-old Izzy wearing headphones every single moment of summer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Braving Izzy’s anger to find common ground before any future happens, Alex bets everything on them going to the Shiv concert together, wishing this curse would vanish\u2026 Brand-new speculative fiction from the author of Slay<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would you want to see the future\u2026 really?
