Today's #flashfiction Once Upon A Time Line

“Let's shake on it.”
Edward Scissorhands* #quote


         I am feeling much, much better today. However I think I may not go to my costuming club this week. Since what I've read says you can be contagious for 5-7 days after the illness reaches it's tail end I may avoid going there. It is highly unlikely that I am still contagious however there is a big risk/reward element. The club is holding our convention at the end of March and getting club members sick, even if unlikely is too large a risk.

Once Upon A Time Line

          Once upon a time there was a time god. He didn't like how things happened in that time so he went to a different time. And once upon that time something more to his liking happened. But not interesting enough so he used his magic to make it so that reality happened upon a different time line. He watched a couple go through an adventure and get married. They lived happily ever after. Once upon a time they had children and the time god found it important to make it that this once happen thrice. In one time line the children grew up happy, in a second time line sad, and a third content. The parents died so they could be “happy ever after” upon these times. The time god visited the far future in another time line to stir up trouble and drama for a show. A war once upon this time line. A plague once upon that time line. Whatever fit the show he wanted.

       The time god had his own time line outside every other. So no matter how many times he altered other people's times for his own amusement his life remained once upon a time. And the petty, meddling, cruel god never lived happily ever after.
