Travelling through anomalies was no fun when it was that time.  Not really ‘time of the month’ when nobody knew what day, month or even year it was.

Emily knew she should be used to it - she’d travelled with the Tribe for years.  But perhaps living in the 21st Century had weakened her?  She missed those self-heating pads.  She missed Ibuprofen.  ( Read more... )

Danny Quinn was a scoundrel.

Emily knew the type, she’d encountered plenty of them over the years. She found herself spending time with him because Jess was busy catching up with Becker.

Fishing today. Against Emily’s better judgement.

“Try the other bank?” Danny suggested. “That rock’s a perfect fishing spot. I’ll carry your ladyship so you won’t get ( Read more... )

There was something about thunderstorms. Something terrible and brilliant all at the same time. The booming and crashing, the lightning flashing across the valley. And the rain. The torrential, endless rain hammering down on their makeshift shelter.

Emily was used to it, she’d been in worse. Danny handed her one of the beers he’d bought from the pub ( Read more... )

Emily was good in a crisis, Jess thought.

Danny Quinn had appeared in their timeline, possibly with his murderous brother there too. But Emily kept her head, and led Jess out of the back of the inn.

“Leave everything,” Emily ordered, both of them having already unpacked their bags in their room. “There’s no time.”

“What if Ethan’s out back?” Jess ( Read more... )

“…but you can keep them for the birds and bees, I want money!”

The man’s voice drifted up the stairs. Emily stared at Jess in horror.

“It is Ethan!” Emily gasped. “He is downstairs robbing the inn! We must leave at once!”

Sometimes Jess wasn’t entirely sure whether Emily was being serious, such was the culture gap between them. But her friend was ( Read more... )

Becker was absolutely not sulking about the inn, no matter what Danny said.

He’d spent months sleeping rough. The new tents and sleeping bags were a luxury in comparison.

What got him down was their continual trek through the anomalies. He felt they were never going to get home.

“Least it’s civilisation,” Danny pointed out cheerfully. “Getting ( Read more... )

The thought of a proper bed after months of travelling through anomalies and having to kip on the ground was too good to pass up.

It was perhaps the 1960s, so although their clothes weren’t in style they also wouldn’t cause undue comment. Becker and Danny had briefly found work on a farm, and earned some money. It meant they could buy food, and ( Read more... )

Thousands of years before civilisation began, the world was very different.

The night sky, freed from the light pollution that would eventually dull its spectacle, was spread out above them, a very faint river of light visible crossing the sky. Jess had lived in towns and cities all her life and never seen the stars properly.

“That’s the Milky Way,” ( Read more... )

Jess had heard about the Time Tribe.

Emily had talked about the people who had joined the tribe. Jess had often imagined what they would be like in reality.

She met a Roman soldier, a Welsh shepherd from the 1950s and a woman from Tudor England. There was a runaway slave, and two young princes from the 1400s who apparently hadn’t been murdered in a ( Read more... )
