Overview

Time can change everything-or nothing at all. In A Moment in Time (and other stories), Mark Ellott returns with a richly woven collection of short fiction that explores the fragile threads connecting lives across time, chance, and consequence. From moments where time itself stands still to lives shaped by decisions made in an instant, these stories reveal how the smallest events can ripple across decades. At the heart of the collection is Death himself-no longer a distant figure, but a weary, wry observer navigating a modern world he barely understands. Frustrated by failing technology and an increasingly complex universe, he finds himself intervening in the lives of mortals in ways both subtle and profound. Alongside him are characters who return and evolve: Pascale Hervé, facing the end of a long career and the weight of experience; Morning Cloud, caught between worlds in the dying days of the Old West; and others whose paths cross history, myth, and imagination. From war-torn landscapes and haunted places to quiet, personal moments of loss, love, and choice, these stories move effortlessly between genres-blending historical fiction, the supernatural, and dark humour into a collection that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. By turns poignant, unsettling, and quietly profound, A Moment in Time is a meditation on fate, consequence, and the unseen forces that shape our lives-reminding us that sometimes, everything can change in a single moment.
