This Time Tomorrow
by Emma Straub
An entertaining story involving time travel, albeit in a very limited fashion. The protagonist is about to turn 40 and lives a very lonely life, never having fulfilled her potential. Her father is dying of a long-term cancer-like illness and is in the hospital. On the night of her birthday she drinks too much and ends up going to her childhood home where her Dad's cat still resides. Through a sequence of specific events, she opens up a time portal which transports her back to her 16th birthday.
She finds she has the dual consciousness of her 16 and 40 year old selves and she begins to attempt to make changes in the past, hoping they will improve things (particularly her father's health) in the future. The time portal lasts 24 hours and then she returns to the present, where she is able to see what changes were made.
Through many iterations of this time jump she eventually comes to terms with her reality.
Thought provoking.
