Sandra opened the bedroom door to glance in on Jerrod, relieved that he was asleep. She really didn't want him to overhear the conversation with Brian, get his hopes up for nothing. This seemed so futile, but what could it hurt to inquire? Closing the door gently she walked down the hall into the living room.

Reaching for her cordless phone and punching in the number to Brian’s office, she smiled as she thought of her life-long friend. Brian never changed, he had been the rumpled professorial type even as a teenager. He always wore a tweed jacket with well worn elbow patches that hung loosely from his Ichabod Crane frame. She adored him, the brother she never had. He answered, and after exchanging pleasantries, he asked her the reason for her call.

She took a deep breath. "What is your opinion on time travel?"

He snorted derisively. "You want me to explain Quantum Physics? You always sucked at science, Sandy."

"I know, Bri. Is it possible?"

"On paper, sure it’s feasible, but in reality? Impossible," he replied emphatically.

"What about...about being struck by lightning..." she ventured tentatively.

"Did you just watch those 'Back To The Future' movies again?" he snickered.

Sandra sighed. "Just answer the question!"

"You mean, the 1.21gigawatts...the space time continuum, all that?” he snorted again. “Sure, I suppose most movies have some basis in fact. Even 'Back to the Future'."

Sandra felt foolish, but she plunged forward.

"If someone arrived in a vehicle of some sort that was struck by lightning would another strike send that person back?"

Brian could not hold back his laughter now. "Don't tell me you found a DeLorean!”

"Stop laughing, Bri, or I swear when I see you next, I will kick you in the nuts." She closed her eyes and sighed. "Well? Is it possible?"

Brian stopped laughing. "Yes, if they arrived that way, but who is to say the person would get back to their own time? They could wind up anywhere, in any era. Are you writing a book, a screenplay?"

Sandra’s eyes snapped back open."Yes, a book, one of those time-travel romance things. Now, what about if there were other passengers, in that...vehicle. What would have happened to them if, let's say, the person in question, a man...arrived alone? Where is everyone else?"

"That's a good question. They could be anywhere, possibly in a state of suspended animation, lost in time, as it were. There are theories of space-time, or time curves. I like to call them ribbons of space-time. Perhaps the others could be trapped in a closed time loop with their only means of escape being this vehicle, or time machine!" Brian declared triumphantly, thrilled at his own expertise in contriving a time travel plot out of thin air.

"And..." he continued, his enthusiasm building, "this is where the lightening comes in! It’s a catalyst, the means necessary to return the person through the time curve he came through, though not necessarily to the same time and place he came from. The theory of time travel is not exact. Perhaps then, it
