Random Call

by Geof Johnson

It seemed like a fun social media game to Finn Garland. Log in to the website and get connected to a totally random person and have a conversation. The longer you talk, the more points you score, while competing with other members worldwide for the highest weekly total. Finn first tried it on a stormy night in late spring, and got connected in the most unlikely way — to June Harrison, in Westhampton, Long Island, living 80 years in the past. Finn was able to maintain his supernatural connection with June for the entire summer, but when school started in the fall, he learned of a catastrophe that devastated Long Island in September of 1938, killing hundreds of people. He knew he had to somehow warn her of the approaching danger before it was too late to save her and her family. Changing history has consequences. Should Finn risk altering his present to save a girl in the past? Could it cost him his very existence, and if so, was that a sacrifice he was willing to make? Random Call is a novel for young adults.
