He Could Be Ambrose Bierce
by Shannon Kelly Garrity
Mona, who works as a file clerk in the modern-day Wisconsin office of the Time
Displacement Bureau, suspects that her new neighbor may be a displaced time traveler or
time terrorist, but her awkwardness prevents her from effectively find out out more.
Skirmishes with Purity were no laughing matter, and any traveler who showed the slightest
inclination toward interfering with the past would find his or her license permanently
removed.
But it made for a good story.
