Like the idea of a Temporal Tribunal. I'd send them to certain people to collect a few years 😅

Nice! Love the concept of having to repay time you stole from someone.

Oooh, creepy! My favorite part was, "His skin felt fibrous and coarse, like cheap sheets at a seedy motel. There was no border between the edge of his sleeve, and the beginning of his flesh. His suit WAS his skin." Loved that image! I could actually feel the sheet and the suit being skin and had a physical reaction! What happens next?!

Thank you for reading!! While this is the end for this particular character, I explored a lot more of the human-impersonating lawyers and their secret time-based court system in a follow up story, “Restitution.” It’s part of the stasis collection, and available to read now!

Thank you so much! I honestly may shift my focus a bit to write more of these after my current publishing calendar clears
