Desperate Times
We were driving a new car, and couldn’t be sure just how far into the red we could get, on the last day of our trip when we noticed how close the gauge had come to Empty. The question was, could we make it the last few miles, or should we try to find a gas station in the middle of the night. Though it would further drain the tank, we decided it was best to turn in at a […]
The Hassles of Time Travel
Tina (running): Ken! Ken, you doll, you. Wait for me. Your cheeks are so nice and… wait. You aren’t Ken. David Hasselhoff?! Gah! Whack! Wham! Tina: Let’s just go. Theodor: Yeah.

The Express Way
Tina: I always wanted to talk to Ken. He’s my idol. I just want to hug him and kiss him and… but I never had the words. Oh! I know how to get my feelings across. I’ll do it right now. Theodor: Wait! Don’t get out of the car now. Tina: Why not? Theodor: Because This time machine is in express mode. We’re about to go again.
