working on another one...


I woke up fifty years later in a fit of confusion and rage. It was surreal to be in a house I felt so much love in, but it was a house I didn’t recognize. How old was this couch? Was this here 50 years ago? Felt like it.

My brother was still in shock, maybe it’s because I was tired or maybe my back just hurt, but I couldn’t bring myself to believe he was involved in sabotage for 50 years. He was an old man now, shorter than he was so many years earlier. He had a scar on his face I didn’t recognize and his attitude seemed just as juvenile as it always had. If I heard one more joke about “Mr. Freeze” or “Having a cold” I’d throw myself of a cliff instead of a time capsule the next chance I got.
