Time’s Swell
by Victoria Somogyi and Kathleen Chamberlain
When a woman awakes with no memory, she finds herself being taken care of by another
woman who says that they have come from the future and cannot get back, so they
prostitute themselves in various forms to make money and hesitantly take each other as
lovers.
And then there are the days when she tells me that we’ve traveled through time, that we
have come from the future and are trapped here. She tells me that she was a temporal
scientist, that I was her project. That I am modified and enhanced for survival, for time
travel, for perfection. Those are the bad days.
