Overlap - The Lives of a Former Time Jumper

This interview with the man who 'sort of' invented time travel is a touching story of regret, loss, comfort, and the hope for redemption.

Nearing the end of his life, wealthy 'time travel' inventor, Marcus Hollister, wished to tell his story to an aspiring young reporter, Jessica Matthews. Why her? Why now?

Marcus had been a recluse for much of his life after his beloved wife, Ellie, tragically died. His inventions had made him wealthy, but that had never been his motivation. His most famous production, the Chamber, spawned an international business called Vacations in Time. Its clients, jumpers, flocked into stores worldwide to relive moments in their lives. Without warning the business closed its doors, never sending another client on a vacation in time.

Some fifteen years later, Marcus requested the first and only interview he would ever do. As he and Jessica discussed his invention, how it became commercialized into a recreational experience, and why he shut it down, the conversation shifted in directions neither could have expected.

Their one-hour meeting stretched into three days, uncovering secrets that would have been better kept buried.
