The Past Beckons (Friday Fictioneers)
I’m actually here. I’m still pinching myself. I know the science, I’ve studied it for years.
It shouldn’t have worked.
And yet…
Even though I speak modern-day Italian what I hear around me is anything but. I thought I was getting the hang of it.
Another cold draught of water thrown in my face suggests I’m wrong.
And my shirt… itches.
The smell is off. Camphor? Starch? I’m gonna scratch my skin raw.
I have three more days.
I’m not sure I’m gonna last that long.
A come hither smile beckons from the tavern doorway.
Then again… I probably will.

Rambles, writing and amusing musings 
All research in the name of science of course! Fun take 🙂
Hahaha ha indeed Iain! Who know what he might leave behind 😉
Well done. Going back in time might seem like an adventure but, as you hinted, there are many issues we’d find pretty hard to deal with. I think of a world without even a Tylenol for pain and I’m quite happy here, thanks.
Oh gosh… I cant imagine. Yes I’m very glad to stay here… or maybe jump to the future!
Exceptionally mysterious. Nice job, Laurie.
Thanks John!! I think he is up to no good! 😉
Yup.
Three days in a tavern sounds good to me, unless……
Please click to read my FriFic
Thanks Keith 😉
He’d get robbed and his nice clothes stolen. 😐
Hahahaha yes probably very true!!
Dear Laurie,
A little time travel and culture shock. Loved the uplifting ending. I enjoyed this imaginative piece.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks Rochelle. Love a bit of time travel! I think he’s having fun
This was great fun, I was ready to say “careful what you ask for” until that nice ending.
Hahaha thank you… 😉
This was great! I want More!
Fascinating!
Thank you ! 😉
Who wouldn’t respond to a ‘come hither’ glance. Well written! Nan
Thanks Nan. The look and the beer! Ha ha
A flirtatious glance dispels all the discomfort of science. Of course it does 🙂
Depends on the person of course 😆
That was great! Well done! :o)
Thank you!!
Amazing what a come-hither smile will do!
Oh yes, absolutely 😉
Let’s hope he doesn’t father his own ancestor!
… well…
😲
The dangers of timetravel!
I agree with Rochelle. A lot of imagination in this…
Thank you Alicia! 😆
I liked this, whatever your problems or situation a tavern will always solve it. 🙂
Well hopefully not all problems 😆 then again a nice smile and a time travel machine might 🖒
What a fun story! Loved it!
Thanks Amie!! 😆
