The story
An old man wakes to find himself back on the day his grandson Toby was admitted to hospital, before the boy's death and the fire that consumed their family. He is determined that this time the surgery will go ahead, and he personally takes the money to the billing office, watching the clerk process the payment.
But the next morning his son Daniel calls in panic: the card is empty and the hospital says nothing was ever paid. The surgeon from Chicago prepares to leave, and Daniel turns on his father, accusing him of lying and of hating the boy. The old man transfers his last savings, yet the money vanishes again, and the police find no record of any transfer.
As the surgery is cancelled once more, he must discover where his money is going before history repeats itself.
Opening
1
The day my grandson was admitted, I jolted awake—back before it all fell apart.
My daughter-in-law, Evelyn, died in the line of duty when Toby was just one. My son, Daniel, and I raised him. He was our whole world.
Just before the holiday, I’d arranged for a specialist to do Toby’s surgery. I personally handed the doctor ninety-nine thousand dollars.
But that night, Daniel’s voice thundered over the phone: “Dad! Toby’s surgery is tomorrow—why haven’t you paid?!”
