Synopsis/Details:
Put on your thinking cap for this one! “Terminal Trajectory” is a story about time travel technology in its infancy. It seems the greatest of all powers, yet the past remains unchangeable.
And through it all, the leading characters search for what we always do: Love. There's a teen romance, a seniors' romance, and one-and-a-half romances for 30-somethings - yes, you read that right!
Incidentally, a "terminal trajectory" is when someone is sent into the past and stays there. In part, this story shows what happens when they "catch up" to the present!

The Writer: Steve Garry
I wrote my first screenplay in 2008, at the age of 52. It was a surprise, yet predicable too, for composition was my favorite subject in my earliest years of elementary school. But somewhere between the ages of 10 and 52, I must have felt that writing wasn't a serious or possibly an attainable career. My writing methodology is unique because I use many of the same skills I used for decades as a software programmer. The stories must be both "logical" and "bug free". Oh, and hopefully, thought-provoking, entertaining, suspenseful, or humorous, often in the same script, with captivating characters and story lines, especially given the complex themes I often take on in my work.
