Yesterday Once More

Dr. Billows pressed Go on his time machine. Inside the vessel nothing happened. But through the window, everything in his lab stretched and distorted into a brilliant mixture of light and darkness, indicating he was tunneling into space time. His calculations had been correct, at least the first part.

As quickly as the journey began, it ended. After checking the console and confirming the date at his destination, he unsealed the hatch.

He emerged into his laboratory exactly one day earlier. Confronted with his past self, he told himself not to ask Dr. Morgan on a date later that night.

Chihuahuas

It had been raining 40 days and 40 nights. What a soggy mess.

"I told you we should've gotten on that Ark, Mel.""Stop reminding me, Harriet."The vessel had taken off, with the creatures two-by-two.Then, there were those left behind.

"Would you stop looking out the window, Mel. It's depressing.""I just want to see what's going on.""See? Who can see anything. It must be raining cats and dogs, if I know Jehovah.""No. Not so many cats. But it's amazing the number of Chihuahuas falling from the sky, Harriet.""My God, Mel.

Gold Leaf

The Egyptians used ocean-faring vessels during the height of their empire, and modern Peruvian fishermen still use similar reed boats. One's design is to transport a balanced soul into the afterlife, and the other is to sustain the body in life, a means of transport for a trip through time into a world of unimaginable outcomes.

It's the most exquisite vessel I have ever seen, and I stood there admiring its craftsmanship before I continued my assault. As the sun rises and illuminates the boat's hint of golden design, depicting Osiris's ascent from Hades, my wrath has reached its zenith.
