We have a fantastic lineup for you this month, with a record-breaking number of stories for your enjoyment.

Time travel. Writers love to mess about with time, and for this month, we encouraged our Confabulators to tell us a tale using their interpretation of how time travel would work. Is time fluid and history changeable, like in\u00a0<em>Back to the Future<\/em>? Can you only go back to moments in your own life, like in\u00a0<em>Reply<\/em> or <em>Time Traveler&#8217;s Wife<\/em>? Are there fixed points in time you can&#8217;t change, like the Doctor is so fond of telling his companions in <em>Doctor Who<\/em>? Only time&#8211;and our writers&#8211;will tell.<\/p>\n<p>So have a seat, order a drink, and let us entrance you with our confabulation. And as always, thank you so much for <em>your<\/em> time. We promise to use it for good rather than evil.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the August schedule:<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday, August 1: &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.confabulatorcafe.com\/2018\/08\/the-past-like-a-pudding\/\">The Past Like a Pudding<\/a>&#8221; by Emily Mosher<br \/>\nFriday, August 3: &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.confabulatorcafe.com\/2018\/08\/the-museum-of-claire\/\">The Museum of Claire<\/a>&#8221; by Dianne Williams<br \/>\nWednesday, August 8: &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.confabulatorcafe.com\/2018\/08\/all-the-time-we-need\/\">All The Time We Need<\/a>&#8221; by Lea Orth<br \/>\nFriday, August 10: &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.confabulatorcafe.com\/2018\/08\/a-multiverse-of-possibilities\/\">A Multiverse of Possibilities<\/a>&#8221; by Sebastian Sanchez<br \/>\nWednesday, August 15: &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.confabulatorcafe.com\/2018\/08\/time-sleeper\/\">Time Sleeper<\/a>&#8221; by Kara DeLaughter<br \/>\nFriday, August 17: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.confabulatorcafe.com\/2018\/08\/until-death\/\">Until Death Do Us Part<\/a>\u201d by Eliza Jaquays<br \/>\nWednesday, August 22: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.confabulatorcafe.com\/2018\/08\/timeline-unlimited-inc\/\">Timeline Unlimited, Inc.<\/a>\u201d by Nate Morsches<br \/>\nFriday, August 24: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.confabulatorcafe.com\/2018\/08\/deep-shaft-run\/\">Deep Shaft Run<\/a>\u201d by Aspen Junge<br \/>\nWednesday, August 29: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.confabulatorcafe.com\/2018\/08\/the-scavengers-jar\/\">The Scavenger\u2019s Jar<\/a>\u201d by Ashley M.
