What if Albert Einstein met Cleopatra? Or Babe Ruth bumped into Mark Twain, or Ben Franklin had a beer with Miles Davis?

For this week’s Centina prompt, we’re asking you to put two people together who lived in different epochs. These historical figures can have been in the same field, such as Geoffrey Chaucer and Virginia Woolf, or totally different ones, such as Amelia Earhart and Ludwig Van Beethoven.

They have to have been real people and not lived at the same time.

Surprise us with why they’re together and what they’re doing…in exactly 100 words.

Remember to include Centina as one of your tags.
