Odd Prompts: Running Into Time
This is a portion of what I wrote today, which was supposed to be a short vignette to bridge me between two projects and ballooned into over 3000 words of… something. Dunno what it is yet. You tell me! *** “Why did you say Dr. Yeager was wrong?” She asked, after they had circumnavigated the…
