Mid-Week Muses: “Four Billion Years of Regression Hit the Time Traveler”

mwm_pngA weekly compilation of collected microfictions composed by yours truly. If your time is short, these are shorter!

They killed his wife. And

She set the cruising shuttle
to autopilot. Then her
hopeful eyes turned to his
and guided a hand to her
pregnant waist.

 
The trio were again alone
in the room.

"Is it a Death-Note?" her brother
asked beside Tim.

She jotted a couple changes
to his entry in the
notebook. "No, it doesn't
kill." 

"Then what's it do?" Her
sister asked holding
Tim's hand.
