A Chip in Time

Unkempt, lonely and full of self-pity after her recent divorce, the last thing on Cybele’s agenda is saving the world. But saving the world is exactly what the Goddess of Time insists that she do...

Time is beside herself! Dead bodies are multiplying in Xanadu and the surrounding loco-weed filled mountains. The squirrel population has become hook-nosed and rabid. Fertility gods are reluctant to mate. Some sort of Time Warp is interfering with all her plans. And worst of all, her only supplier for the Sacred Brine Shrimp so key to all godly technologies (and addictions) has run mad and can no longer supply them.

So when the goddess finds the naïve but well-meaning Cybele through a cosmic computer glitch, she is desperate enough to snatch the girl into the Akashic Records. There, an appalled Cybele is equipped with special cameras and a crew of ghosts, told to re-arrange certain life sequences for different outcomes, and to film her efforts to prevent future rewrites. She is to give the head fertility god an attitude adjustment and then repair the time warp – she is to save the world.
