Don’t Want To Wait For Time Travel?

The future is out there — the genetically grown gold, the bio-brains (they’re like two brains in one!), and yes, the time machines. In the future, time travel is commonplace, a vacation, and for some a vocation. So where do all the future time travelers go? The far future is amusing, especially after the wars are over, but mostly, travelers go backward or “downstream” in time. Time travelers are literally everywhere, turning over the rocks and stones of history. They show up in the background of old newsreel footage; they get captured by supermarket surveillance cameras, and they stroll by you on the street. You’ve probably passed someone dressed clearly out-of-date; remember that guy with the parachute pants and the M.C. Hammer hair too deep into the 90’s? That’s right: time traveler. The point is, you don’t have to wait for time travel to be invented because time travelers are already here. All you need to do is find a way to cozy up to one and tell him to scoot over because you’re coming along for the ride.

    Love this! Like that time on the bus when my brother said “If time travel is possible why aren’t people from the future here already?” and a total stranger looked at us and said, “Who say’s we’re not?” Freaked us out for a week.

  2. My boyfriend says I have M.C. Hammer hair. Does that make me a time traveler?
