  • Over And Over by Tim Law

    Over And Over by Tim Law
    2025/06/25
    In a pulsing nightclub, a man re-lives the same horrific moment as time loops, reality blurs, and a stranger’s purpose becomes terrifyingly clear.

    Tim Law has loved to write from a very young age, but has only recently discovered the joy of being published. He is happily married to a wonderful girl, a proud father of three humans, and a reluctant father figure to four cats. He writes fantasy, science fiction, general, detective, humour, and a lot of weird stuff that doesn’t seem to fit anywhere. He encourages everyone to give writing a go. Some of his stranger stories can be found here on the Kaidankai, but if you want to read more, try his blog.
