Grazed knee, torn shirt, bloody nose, he walked away.
Into his time machine. Destination 2133 and back. Facing them again, now armed and ready.

A clever, if sad, story. Determination shines through. Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteEven second time round things don't always work out - our trouble is we often don't learn from our past mistakes.
ReplyDeleteA clever take on the prompt.
You gotta keep on trying. Well, it seem like he came out ok. What happens in 2253?
ReplyDeleteAll of that practice has to pay off eventually, one would think.
ReplyDeleteToo bad the outcome was the same the second time around. Third time a charm? :)
ReplyDeleteHe decides to walk away instead of revenge is an amazing twist.
ReplyDeleteI admire this kind of determination, too-and I also wish he could push those bullies into the time machine and send them back to the ice age;) Clever 33 words!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow. Very well done!
ReplyDeleteAnd then he tries again. Very good.
ReplyDeleteMust be me, but I'm kinda wondering what the other guys looked like the second time around.
ReplyDeleteNice one, Rog!
