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…

Odd Prompts: Toss a Coin
The first time, he was waiting for her. She’d promised to meet him on the beach for the sunrise, and with his heart doing doubletime, he’d woken early and paced along the shore. The gleam of silver had caught his eye, and he’d bent to pick it up out of sheer curiosity. The coin had…

Odd Prompts: Time Travel
This is a one-shot vignette for this week’s prompt.

I will admit freely that I acquired a copy of the book knowing that there were problems, and it was and…

Beautiful America: Looking Back
My father travels in time. Every year he spends a few weekends and extra days when he can steal away in the eighteenth century. Specifically, sometime during the French and Indian War. I’ve gone along with him, as I can disguise myself well enough, although I am not as knowledgeable as he is… I’m sharing…
