Time Travel
For me, I’ve come up with different answers to these questions over the years. I sometimes think I’d pick Francdin 1789 (hello, Revolution!) or Peru in 1525, just before the fall of the Inca Empire. Other times I keep it closer to home, imagining a trip to 19th-century Poland or Palestine, to say hello to some ancestors I never got to meet (grandfather paradox, shmaradox).
Right this second I’d go with
three days ago, the last time I got a good night’s sleep. Thanks, parenthood.In your posts, feel free to make this challenge your own, and write in whatever style, format, or genre you wish — including ones that evoke the time you’re traveling to (do provide a translation if you go with Egyptian hieroglyphs, please). Do you need a few more ideas to get you started? Well, you could:
- Be an invisible observer in a major event from the past. Or an active participant — whichever you prefer.
- Write a dialog between you and a person from the past (or a past you, if you wish).
- Use historical or fictional characters to craft an alternative history.
- Let bygones be bygones, and just travel into the future — just don’t forget to come back to tell us how it was.
I can’t wait to see where your (time) travels take you.
