 Or is it? What if you went to sleep in the present and woke up the next day, almost fifty years earlier? Or twenty? Maybe even a hundred? Not to mention in a completely different location from where they last remember. What if you were at a night club in New York City one minute, and suddenly in the middle of the Battle of Gettysburg the next? Or clinging to life in the middle of the Atlantic on a sinking ship? For most people, it would be a very peculiar dream, but for this group of strangers, this impossible circumstance is a harsh new reality. On the outside, the individuals who have woken up in a different time and place have seemingly little in common -- from teenagers still struggling with passing their finals to grown men in the midst of a mid-life crisis, the primary thing they share is the fact that they all come from what we consider present day. In truth, their unique situation stems simply from luck of the evolutionary draw -- they have inherited a specific gene that has given them the ability to move through the time-space continuum. They're special. Different. Powerful, if one looks at it that way. Of course, none of them are aware of this fact, nor do many care at this point. After all, they've got a bigger problem on their hands -- aside from simply trying to get by and survive, getting home is on the top of the list. But as is the case in any good story, it's not going to be easy. Getting from point A to point B isn't likely to happen on the first try. And even once they've realized that they might be able to control what's happening to them, or what's happening to the rest of the world, they might find that they have a whole new set of problems on their hands. horography |
