| Summary: | Decades into the future, an elderly Jake Sisko is visited at his New Orleans home by a young, aspiring author named Melanie, who is curious to know why he stopped writing at forty. Jake reveals how years ago he had gone along on the Defiant to witness a rare inversion of the wormhole that happens just once every fifty years.
