I enjoyed the sweet short story. Typically JL Merrow, quirky and well written. Ted walks out of the Criterion Theatre to grab a quick cigarette and into the arms of Jem,a rent boy and back into 1886. At first Ted thinks he has stumbled on to a movie or TV set but this is real and he finds something with the rent boy missing in his life since the car accident that took the life of his husband and parents. He finds he can walk back into the theatre and back to his time but Jem draws him back. What he chooses to do and how he makes it happen is the meat of the story. Like all Merrow's work "Trick of Time" ended all too soon
