“I came back for my own purposes,” said the Time Traveler, looking around my booklined study. “I chose you to talk to because it was . . . convenient. And I don’t want you to do a goddamned thing. There’s nothing you can do. But relax . . . we’re not going to be talking about personal things. Such as, say, the year, day, and hour of your death. I don’t even know that sort of trivial information, although I could look it up quickly enough. You can release that white-knuckled grip you have on the edge of your desk.” I tried to relax. “What do you want to talk about?” I said. “The Century War,” said the Time Traveler. I blinked and tried to remember some history. “You mean the Hundred Year War? Fifteenth Century? Fourteenth? Sometime around there. Between . . . France and England? Henry V? Kenneth Branagh?

ReplyDeleteOh, and you can flood the bathroom (You can slightly flood the bathroom repeatedly to make flowers in two different places - not necessary but I think it gives you bonus points). That's just for starters. If you hit any other blocks, lemme know.

Thanks, but I'm still not getting there. I may try again when I have some time. Probably after my kids go to college.
