At the heart of much speculative fiction (and fiction in general) is a question. What if? On Tuesdays I like to throw one out there and see what you make of it. Do with it as you please. If a for-instance is not specified, feel free to interpret that instance as you wish. And if you find this becomes a novel-length answer, I'd appreciate a thank you in the acknowledgements. 😉
What if meeting time travelers was an ordinary occurrence?
It would be fun. You could schedule time with them to learn about where they have been and where they might want to go. Could learn a lot of history that way if they have traveled to the past.

I would say "For the love of god, get me out of here."
ReplyDeletesure... ordinary occurrence, especially from future time travelers.
ReplyDeletehave a great day
What would that be like?
DeleteI'd love to meet my ancestors. Hopefully none were jerks.
ReplyDeleteOoh...I’d love that and I would love to go back in time and meet my grandparents on both sides and even my dad and mom...if that is allowed.
ReplyDeleteYou'd have to get the tourists to take you with them. I wonder if they would.
DeleteAnd how do we know we don't meet them everyday? Perhaps they are some of the people locked up in mental health facilities due to their "hallucinations".
ReplyDeleteExcellent question. That is kind of the premise of the movie version of 12 Monkeys. (The TV version was a bit different. Worth if if you haven't seen it.)
DeleteI think that would be cool....esp if I could do some time skipping myself! Be cool to learn about them, where they come from by talking to them and then traveling to where they came from.
ReplyDeleteI think we're all itching to go with them.
