“1935? What the hell?”

The words floated in a confused whisper. The fifth line revealed the least. He thought he saw a ‘2’ and ‘P,’ but wasn’t sure.

“Who the hell is M.O.D.?” He recited names of people who might match those initials. “1935? This has to be a mistake.”

He’d hoped for an explanation, not another undecipherable twist. He scanned the message again in search of anything that might make sense. “A telegram from 1935 with my name on it. It has to be a joke.”

He tossed the telegram to the passenger seat then glanced into the rearview mirror. He looked like hell, felt like hell, and contemplated calling in sick. He needed a place to sort his confusion and angst, but where? Home? No. Club? No. Gym? No. He had but one choice.

His downtown office often served as a haven, of sorts, with direct access to the one person he trusted most and could trust to make sense of this most senseless situation.

He guided the Hummer to a clean pivot and backtracked through the community, scouring each street and offshoot for any signs of the phantom carriage. He blew past the guard shack and onto the main road, setting his sights on the forty-five-minute commute to Chicago’s famed Magnificent Mile, contemplating how he could explain the first second of the last two hours.
