Today's #flashfiction Cody The Time Surfer

“It's not all fun and games.”
The Parker Brothers* #quote


Today I wondered, if people can turn over new leaves, can they turn over old ones?

Cody The Time Surfer

       “This is bogus!” Cody the time surfer yelled. Benjamin Franklin and Genghis Khan melded into one bizarre man in a fur suit wearing a monocle and holding an axe. The waves of time climbed into the sky as a wave, their form similar to water but with fragments of time flowing below the surface like worn photographs. A ocean of time existed below and in the sky clouds to rain back into the ocean below.
        Benja-Khan attacked Cody, gliding on the waters of time with his feet like a skater on ice and swinging an axe with great force. Cody rode his glistening, white time board knowing all the risks of riding time. Echoes of time tended to erupt from the waves, they would fall back down and lose their form. But for now Cody had to reach into one of the pockets on his white time suit and pull out the small knife he carried. A special kind of knife it could cut through all matter of things, the anomalies of time or otherwise. When the axe came close he grabbed it and Benja-Khan flew onto his board. He stabbed the creature that then shattered like glass as it destablized. Cody didn't lose his life, but the axe's sharp blade tapped his smooth tan skin and black hair, leaving small cuts in both.
       He looked at a small device on his wrist. If someone took a passing glance they would mistake it for a watch. However it held many meters and gauges and served to navigated the tides and the surf of time. When they all read exactly as they needed too, he pushed his board downward with his feet and into the wave. He'd practice years to conquer this wave and reach this time. Time became jumbled when it entered the strange ocean dimension that people managed to access, so times and their places could be found on very unrelated parts of the wave.

      Cody sunk into that wonderful evening. That day when him and his wife did nothing but spend time together watching their favorite movies on the couch from morning till night. The best kind of marathon. Like a ghost he moved through the walls on his surfboard and joined the him of that time and his wife and spent the day with them. He couldn't interact with either of them since the ocean of time and all its waves are merely recreations time and its possibilities, and not truly time travel even when entered. But even then he ignored the other him and laughed with her as if she were still alive in his own present time.
