The Ultimate Spell

It was the most powerful spell I knew. The most powerful spell anyone ever knew. It was my ultimate last resort, the thing I would do only if the alternative was certain death.


I knew what it was supposed to do, but obviously I couldn't test it out.


Until today.


The hired swords were ill-prepared for an ambush. The bastard had a battleaxe to my throat, when I cast the spell.


The universe undid itself, then reran through the past million years over, going slightly differently.


Until I got back to where I was, with a longspear at my throat.
