 “I'm a morning person.”

Today I hung out with CJ and much fun was had as per usual. Anyway onto the flash fiction!

Time Travel Timekeeping

           Akiko and Hans were two scientists and well renowned time travelers. They'd worked hard together many years because they both agreed on their theories on time travel and how to do their work. Two peas in a pod both when time traveling and whenever they didn't work as well. They hardly argued, especially over work. Except for this one moment, at a most dire time.
           “Hans, it's 10:30 A.M at home.” Akiko asserted.
            Hans replied, “No, it's 10:31.”
            When time traveling one of their watches were wrong. They didn't know what time they departed from home. If they didn't go right, they wouldn't return into their time machine and be stuck in a limbo. One of them was one minute off, exactly, since they'd set their watches to the micro-micro-micro-second otherwise.
            They stared at each other. This argument reached a massive scale of importance, and merited shouting, or screaming. But the concept of doing so at a dear friend didn't register as a possibility.
The dinosaurs around them stomped and roared. Each time a time traveler did their work a temporary new time line was created for them to experience. So they really couldn't damage anything.
           Hans shrugged. “We could vacation for a bit.”

           Akiko then replied, “Then we could build a new time machine to get home!”
