On the 14th
there is a Pokemon video game tournament. I have come up with a
massive improvement on my strategy from the last one and I think I
may be able to do better. Will this strategy work? I dunno, but it seems pretty solid and
I've never seen it before in person or read about it on the Internet
on any Pokemon websites, so at least I'll have the element of
surprise. Anyway onto the flash fiction!
Time
Travelers And Their Time Lines
The time
travelers bickered in their special suits as the Earth froze around
them. They spoke in some dialect of the future but words have always
been words and “No!” existed in both English and their language
but naturally in a different form.
“It doesn't
matter what you think is proper,” the tallest of the three time
travelers said. “It has been decided that this time line will be as
so.” The partner of the tall one was shorter but armed with some
kind of strange, gun-like weapon. He never uttered a word.
“But to set
up an assassination?” The defiant time traveler refused to believe
the methods of the others.
The tall alien
responded, “You have an illegal suit don't you? You have no right
to alter the course of other worlds. It is carefully decided what
would be best for other universes and their time lines. You're going
to prison and everything will go as we set it up.” He looked at his
short armed assistant and the assistant grabbed the defiant time
traveler.
And so, as they
planned, Abraham Lincoln was assassinated.
