Emit

by Jason Tesar

Have you ever experienced a moment so intense that you’d swear time had slowed down? You’ve heard it said that we can’t change the time we are given, only how we use it. Well, that’s not exactly true anymore. I’ve discovered that by changing how we use it, we can change the time we are given. This is what we as a species have been seeking since the dawn of our existence—immortality. My name is Emit Trotsid and I am the world’s foremost pioneer of lucid time distortion. I’m going to share my technology freely with the collective human consciousness. I will teach you how to claim what’s rightfully yours; but the question is, what will you do with that time?

That’s my marketing pitch. At least, it used to be before the paranoia, headaches, and premonitions.

About the author

The third of four children and an introvert from the start, Jason Tesar grew up as an imaginative “middle child” who enjoyed the make-believe world as much as the real one, possibly more. From adolescence to adulthood, his imagination continued to feed itself on a diet of books, movies, and art, all the while growing and maturing—waiting for its opportunity. Then, during a procession of monotonous, physically laborious day-jobs, his imagination leaped into motion, bringing together characters and locations of a world that would someday come to life on the pages of a book.

In late 1998, Jason made his first attempt at writing, managing to complete a whole scene before returning once again to reality. A year and a half later, a spontaneous night-time conversation with his wife encouraged him to take his writing seriously and to keep on dreaming. Over the next seven years, Jason carved time out of the real world to live in an imaginary one of epic fantasy, science-fiction, and military/political conflict. The fruits of this labor would later become the first three books of the bestselling AWAKENED series.

Due to the incredible support from readers around the world, Jason continued his trajectory into make-believe, jumping from stable employment in the micro-electronics industry into the mysterious abyss of full-time writing.

Living in Colorado with his beautiful wife and two children, Jason now spends the majority of his time fusing the best parts of his favorite genres into stories of internal struggle and triumph, friendship, betrayal, political alliances, and military conflict.

Reviews

[Emmanuelle · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a good short story, but I feel like it ended right when it got more interested. Emit is a great character and has a revolutionary idea for the future. He does his research and everything is going well until events from his past resurface at the most inconvenient time. I felt that the storyline about the events from his past was even more interesting then the program he was releasing to the masses; unfortunately that didn't end up being the focus until the very end and even then only minorly.
Regardless, this was a quick short read that gives a great overview of the author's writing style.

I have enjoyed Tesar's Awakened series. However, EMIT was not his best work IMHO. He announced to his Facebook followers that this title wouldn't be for everone. I may have liked it more if the ending wasn't ......Abrupt?

It started well and gripped my attention to find out more and keep reading. Then it felt like it ended right when it could have got more interesting. Bit disappointed with the ending. It just ran out of steam.

Nice concept, but time travel stories, especially ones that try to explain theory, make my head hurt!
