The Truth about Time Travel
“The tree is as old as time itself; according to folklore it
has magical properties.”
She giggled at that, giving me a gentle shove as if I had
made it up to fool her. We stopped the
car so we could walk around the vast circumference.
“I can’t believe the road goes right through the middle!” She
visibly shuddered, as she peered through the tunnel.
“You go all the way back to the beginning of time when you
pass through.”
“You really are silly,” she trilled. “Come on then, take me
on an adventure!”
I broke off a piece of ancient outer bark that would keep me
anchored to our own time and slipped it in my pocket.
I’d be safe from the time vortex that spiralled round the
inner rings of the tree but my companion?
Well she did ask for an adventure and
I’d told her no lies!
