There's no time like the present, but there's no place like Yester Year...

When Paula Frederick gets a weekend job on Dream Rock, a former prison island that now serves as the world's largest leisure destination, she can hardly believe her luck. Dream Rock's outlandish surroundings are a welcome break from her studies. Paula's fully costumed role within the island's smallest zone, a medieval-themed amusement park called Yester Year, seems set to allow for even more immersive fun than she imagined.

Not even hazing from some mean-spirited colleagues can dampen Paula's spirits - at least until a trip through the wrong door reveals that the old stories about some kind of mysterious vortex beneath the island might have been more than fanciful rumors, after all.

Full immersion in the world of centuries gone by was all fun and games...when there was a way back.

Yester Year is a long-awaited time travel story and the latest in a new series of Sci-Fi Sizzlers: stand-alone short stories from international best-selling author Craig A. Falconer. These stories can be listened to in any order - dive in today!

I'll start off by saying that if you are confused why the main character is changing into her work outfit, it's because she works at the part of the park that's styled after the old days. That wasn't clear and confused me for a bit. It was explained later but would have been better to understand the reason for it because it broke my immersion a bit.


Interesting method of time traveling in this one. Would recommend!

Amusement park fun with a twist.

I had trouble with this one. I love the narrator and the overall premise of the story is fine. I just had trouble with the female protagonist. Perhaps the author meant to emphasize her youth, but I found her to be very insecure and unable to assign the appropriate responsibility to the appropriate people. Her reactions suggest a view that young women are poor decision makers, are more than willing to blame others, and expect others to solve THEIR problems.

Spoiler Alert:
I thought this would be better for a younger audience. To me, a 12 year old is fully responsible when they go somewhere they were not invited or given permission to. Others are not responsible for your poor judgment. That not withstanding, I do recommend the story. Too short for a credit, but if you buy it you may enjoy it.

Humm?
