tobadzistsiniCarly squinted, "You don't have a twin?"
"Nope. Broke the mold. Now I can #slip through time as easily as a banana peel." He pet the cat. "I'm glad you showed up."
Something heavy thumped in the kitchen.
Sprawled across the checkerboard tile was Ginny. She was barely breathing.
From the other room, "She's diabetic! Been scrimping her insulin because it costs so damned much." 8/x

Steven D. Brewer 🏳️⚧️Ham dropped the sailed as the *Little WormMaid* came alongside the #slip at the pier on Candlemain. Will stepped off and tied off the bowline as Grip tied up the stern.
"Ham!" Will barked. "You lead the men to the market to secure provisions."
"Aye-aye, Cap'n!"
Ham and three other pirates headed down the stone pier toward the Thursday-morning market that was in full swing.
"What do you want me to do, Will?" Grip asked.
"Come with me," he said. "We're going to meet someone." #wss366

[Continued from previous post.]
“The second is that I would like you to take notes on what happens. Deposit them regularly and secretly. You will want to review them later.”
“Where do you want me to leave them?”
I hadn’t thought about that. I manifested a phone and searched for a mailbox rental place. “Rent a box in the name of Sarah Lock…”
That was a #slip. I could feel Emily’s eyes boring into me. What is it with her and that name?
“Lockhorn. Sarah Lockhorn,” I improvised. “At Arkham Mailstop.”
“That’s too obvious. They’ll spot her depositing mail,” Emily said, and took the full #brunt of another of her glares.
“Who?” Ms. Dubois looked between us, mystified.
“I’ll explain in a minute. That’s item three,” I said.
“I could leave them in my office?”
“No,” Emily and I said together, and I continued, “It’s going to be ransacked.”
“I don’t suppose you’re going to explain that,” the professor said, her tone petulant.
“No, I’m sorry I mentioned it,” I said.
Dubois sighed. “You know the hole in the big oak in Franklin Square Park? I could slip them in there.”
“Where’s that?” I asked.
"Behind that awful modern art statue. You know, the one that looks like a rock gnome giving the heavens the finger.”
I didn’t know where that was, either, but I figured I could find it. There couldn't be many statues like that.
"That will do," I said. "The third thing is to watch out for anthropomorphic rabbits wearing ICE Nine vests. Try to stay away from them. But note anything you see. It's important."
“What? Rabbits?”
Emily and I both shrugged and smiled.

"I am also unconscious in the hospital 812 days ago. It seems my #concerted effort to become unstuck in time actually worked." A skinny white cat curled proprietously against his leg and purred loudly.
Carly squinted, "You don't have a twin?"
"Nope. Broke the mold. Now I can #slip through time as easily as a banana peel." He pet the cat. "I'm glad you showed up."
Something thumped loud in the kitchen. 7/x

Asakiyume"That's the negotiator? They're just a li'l #slip of a thing!" whispered Nagels.
"Size isn't everything." The negotiator had a disconcertingly bass voice.
"True," said Maida. "Sometimes the tiniest things have the most power. Viruses. Ions. Cosmic rays."
"When your kind say power, you usually mean power TO," observed the negotiator. "To do or to compel something. But power-to isn't everything, either."
Nagels and Maida exchanged looks. Negotiations would be tough.
MrsZeeI #slip a note to future me into my pocket. It's a one way conversation, but I did not write the question expecting an answer. The idea is to give her a reminder of our motivations.
