Short Story

The Time Machine


Charlie takes his pals Douglas and John to visit the old Colonel who—says Charlie—has a time machine that travels in the past. —Michael Main
War’s never a winning thing, Charlie. You just lose al the time, and the one who loses last asks for terms. All I remember is a lot of losing and sadness and nothing good but the end of it.
A memorial statue of a soldier is surrounded by 26 abstract figures of red,
                white, and blue soldiers.
