CHASING CLOCKS
Voices of the Future: Stories of Strength and Sacrifice
“A brother’s ’bout the best thing you could wish for.”
Reuben Byrne may not be able to fill the shoes his older brother left behind—but he can risk suspension by sneaking off school grounds, traveling to London on the afternoon train, and purchasing the golden pocket watch his little brother, Robbie, desperately wants for his birthday.
But a penniless boy in need of defending, a missed train, and a lack of pounds might be enough to derail the whole grand idea. In the end, will Reuben’s sacrifice be enough to mend things with Robbie, in spite of losing the brother who held them together?
Chasing Clocks is a historical fiction short story that will be published in a collection through The Author Conservatory as a fundraiser to send young writers (like myself) to conferences so we can build our careers.

MICAIAH KEOUGH
I was born with storytelling in my veins—I like to think so, anyway. I grew up in Hawaii and spent countless hours outdoors risking life and limb with my siblings. I live for everyday adventure… and I understand the fear that creeps in despite courage. This is why I write uplifting stories, ones filled with hope and heart and adventure. To give others a glimpse at the light we all crave.
I’m in my final year of studies at The Author Conservatory, where I’ve had the honor of being mentored by industry professionals in both business and writing. In September 2025, my short story, Chasing Clocks, will be featured in Voices of the Future: Stories of Strength and Sacrifice. I also work as a line editor and proofreader for Glory Writers Press, where I offer critique to award-winning, independently published authors and student writers.
You can almost always find me with a cup of coffee in hand, a plane ticket booked, and indie acoustic music blaring in the background. I love my family and friends, am an ocean girlie at heart, and want to spend this life chasing Jesus and sharing His heart with the world.
