The Silver Highway

by Harold Lawlor

Release: May 1946
Format: Short Story
Genre: Fantasy
Audience: Adults
Content: Debatable Time Travel
Original Language: English

Most likely, Lucy from 1905 is an ordinary ghost rather than a time traveling ghost, but she is confused by the forty years since her death in a brand new Pope-Hartford runabout, so who really knows? So, we’re calling it Debatable Time Travel™.

— Michael Main

She was dressed in a long linen duster and a linen hat, bound round with an emerald veil tied in a bow under her chin. Modish clothing for motoring—in 1905.

TIME TRAVEL ITINERARY (SPOILERS!)

From after a wedding, 1905 ⋙ to a museum, 1945. Note: We think that Lucy just haunted the Pope-Hartford runabout rather than time traveling, but maybe not.
