The Cusp

Fragment: The Doctor's Key
We've just finished an adventure with The Doctor, and he gives me a key to summon him in case there is ever any trouble that only The Doctor can help with. The end looks like a car key, with only a stub of the actual key section that folds out revealing a button. One of the people with us ends up with my key, intended for me, and I keep insisting he give it back. After about half an hour of constant prodding he finally gives it back to me.


Fragment: Variety Show
I"m watching a variety show at my school which is being broadcast at the Olympics, waiting to see people I know so I can laugh at them. After sever bad unmemorable acts, the camera goes to a little girl in the audience who sings "Snake people have cool tattoos" and the crowd finishes "E-I-E-I-O". Then different sections of the crowd are supposed to sing in a round (Like staggered singing or Row your boat), but they are horrible, most aren't singing, you can barely hear them, and it's just not working. Then one section starts singing the music from Start Trek Voyager.

From Yesterday

Time Travel to Vonnegut
Recall: 4/10
Sleep: Poor
Sleep Position: Unknown

I've traveled back in time to my college years, and instead of computer science, I enroll in a literary class being taught by Kurt Vonnegut. I figure it will be a cake walk since I'm familiar with books he hasn't yet written.

We strike up a friendship and as we're walking the school grounds, he asks where I'm staying, so I point out my apartment building. He wants to see it, so we go over there, but once in the lobby, I realize it's been so long since I've actually live here that I don't remember what floor or apartment number it is. Plus I don't have the key to get in.

I confess to him that I'm from the future, and that I was completely unprepared for this time jump. It just happened unexpectedly. He doesn't believe me and gets mad, not speaking to me. So I draw a picture of planes crashing into the twin towers, write 9/11 on it, and slip it to him in class. It's going to happen again very soon, and I figure that should convince him
