Written by the students of 826LA’s Write On! After School Program
Sealed in Time: Past Stories that Made Our Future is a unique collection of stories crafted by the student authors of 826LA’s Write On! After-School Program. Inspired by the theme of “Time Capsules,” these tales explore the connections between past, present, and future.
Through three imaginative prompts, students unlock the mysteries of discovered time capsules, carefully curate their own treasures for future generations, and dream boldly about life in 2044. Each story offers a glimpse into the memories, hopes, and visions of the next generation, showcasing their creativity and their perspectives on how today shapes tomorrow.
As part of 826LA’s 20th anniversary celebration, Sealed in Time reminds us that connecting with who we once were is the first step towards coming into our own and transforming the future. With every page, readers are invited to step into a world of wonder, connection, and possibility.
This book is more than a collection of stories—it’s a celebration of student voices, a tribute to their hard work, and a time capsule in itself, preserving their dreams for years to come.
