Day 164 Drabble Challenge — “ALMOST”
Drabbles are short — 100 words exactly. Each one is based on a single word to be featured in the story. Please read and linger a bit… at least 30 seconds or more. The story will count as “read” on Medium. Clapping, highlights, and comments are much appreciated! Enjoy and Thank you!
Dr Friederiksson punched in the date again on the keypad. The machine shuddered then settled into a low hum. She unbuckled the harness and unlatched the door. Just like every other time, she had arrived at the exact moment in history that she had intended. If she could prevent the events about to unfold, she could change the course of history forever.
But again, as before, she failed. It was as though time knew her plans and resisted. Unrelenting, it could not — would not — be changed. She had almost managed but was beginning to think history didn’t want to change.
