About SP Hofrichter
SP Hofrichter was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The proximity of nuclear labs, volcanoes, and alien landing sites led to their first love affair with science. After working towards a double degree in meteorology and geophysics from the University of Oklahoma, they realised that their relationship with science was more of a one-night stand that lasted a decade. They ultimately went on to get degrees in Creative Writing (science fiction focus) and Medieval Scandinavian Studies (Ragnarök focus), and are currently in the middle of writing their PhD dissertation (Philosophy-of-Time-cum-Old-Norse-and-Old-English-poetry focus). For fun (but not yet profit), they create science fiction, fantasy, and horror-type art. Their writing can be found at http://lokisdraumar.wordpress.com and their paintings can be found at http://lsbart.wordpress.com. If you’re feeling particularly brave and/or reckless, you can find them on Twitter at @FlytingNWriting. Don’t say you weren’t warned.

SP Hofrichter 23 July 2017 2

Time is one element that exists in every story we read, watch, or hear. It is so ubiquitous that we fail to notice its existence, unless the narrative forces us to focus on it. But … [continue]
