Stalking the Timelines

A catlike being lives the life of a soldier in many different times and places, but always with the same goal of stamping out war.
. . . but in all the lines I’m big, tough, and smart enough to know how to take good orders and not hear bad ones.

Short Story

The Dead of Winter

Four miners, trapped over winter in a mountain cabin, run out of food, but three people in a love triangle show up from the future with a couple of candy bars, a flask of drink, and a feud.
“Oh, well—” He runs his pasty white hands through hispockets while Cole and the girl do the same. “I have a candy bar or two, I believe,” and he brings them out. “Cole, you have a bottle, don’t you?"

The guy with the black hat scowls at him, but brings a flask out of his hip pocket and lays it on the table.
