Not Gone Soon Enough
"'Four score and seven years ago...' that rubbish! The world would've been better off without Abraham Lincoln. Why did he sigh that Emancipation Proclamation? Freeing the slaves was a massive mistake. How could he not know that? Why wasn't he murdered sooner?"

The Jolley Cut
As he crossed through the intersection Jake found himself suddenly thinking about a particular day nine years ago in 1976 when he was twelve. A hard-braking bike brought it to mind, and maybe thinking about Marcus just before the rider pulled up had called up the memory as well. As he strolled, occasionally glancing over his shoulder for the next bus to come along, he found himself grinning with the memory of that crazy moment from his past.

Date Justice
[Write a fiction story about a time traveler who tries to alter a historical event.] Natalia couldn’t remember how long she had been saving to finally afford to rent the time machine. She only had until the end of the month before she had to return the device, yet it had already been a week in her possession and she still hadn’t made her first time-jump. She was curled on the couch of her cozy Brooklyn apartment with a globe on her coffee table for ideas of where (and when) to go. Her planner was open to the current month, February, which happened to be her Birthday month, and why she had rented the device. But now, looking at the calendar, Natalia was suddenly furious. How could she not have taken into consideration that she rented the time machine during the shortest month of the year? A whole two to three days shorter than any other month. She would have to call the company to check if she could keep it for a full 30 days – unless… She frantically reached for the time machine, adjusted the dials, pressed the button, and held her breath.
