#TimeTravelAuthors Day 15

Sitting this one out, there isn't a single sink or sank in STATUS GREEN. Not even a lavatory. (Though there is a mention of toilet stuff but it's in an inappropriate place.)

If he found himself in the vicinity but not helping, he could guarantee an impromptu dousing from the #sink where she completed her chores, just to keep their relationship playful.

#TimeTravelAuthors D15 SINK He washes up the dishes in the sink. He has never said so, but he loves the faucet that has a handle for cold water that changes over for hot water when he moves it. This never fails to impress him. It is one of the better features of the future.

#TimeTravelAuthors 15. “Remember the time when they said ‘You're holding my baby.’ and what the autotranslator said meant ‘Drop that little monster now!’ instead?”

#BonApriltit DAY 15 This is too broad, covering all the different cultures and time periods of our world. Instead, we know Bijou and Emily of #TimeTravelingGhost like an old-fashioned coffee cake, the type with brown sugar on top, and didn't like peaches in Chartreuse jelly #TimeTravelAuthors

#BonApriltit DAY 14

#TimeTravelingGhost Depends on the restaurant. But there'll be cocktails. Bijou prefers a Champagne Cocktail with a brandy float or Whiskey Sour. (She's made it a hobby of comparing them at each stop) The only cocktail we've seen Emily order is a Jack Rose. #TimeTravelAuthors

#TimeTravelAuthors 15: sink

And between the swirls, clocks. Dozens
of them. Modern, utilitarian circles like the clocks mounted a the front of every classroom at Sutter. Old-fashioned grandfather clocks, sinking beneath the waves. Tiny gold wind-up watches. Even a whimsical cuckoo clock.

Square image promoting Book 2 in the Beryl Blue time travel adventures, It's Been A Long, Long Time. A crowd of people in 1930s clothing gather around a large outdoor movie screen with an image taken from the book's cover, a vibrant pinkish-purple background and the setting sun behind a purplish 3-story building; light spills out of the building's upper floor window, framing the silhouette of a man gazing out. In the foreground, a woman in a summery red dress is looking back anxiously over her shoulder. Above the image is the exclamation, "It's a hit!" and at the bottom is the book's title and a 5 star review quote: "...funny, romantic, sexy, adventurous, clever, and driven by the big-hearted, wise-cracking, and delightful Beryl Blue. Bonus: Hot Guy Sully is in it. Swoon."

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 15C

She took Sully’s arm. Light winked off the thin gold band that circled her third finger. Her put a ring on it finger. My stomach sank to my toes & kept going to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

Now I knew why Sully hadn’t kissed me.

He’d moved on. With a vengeance.

Square image promoting Book 2 in the Beryl Blue time travel adventures, It's Been A Long, Long Time, with a trio of books in various formats (tablet, phone, print). The cover image portrays a vibrant pinkish-purple background and the setting sun behind a shiny new blue 1946 car and a purplish 3-story building; light spills out of the building's upper floor window, framing the silhouette of a man gazing out. In the foreground, a woman in a summery red dress is looking back over her shoulder. At the bottom is the book's title and a picture in the lower left of the author, looking quite ridiculous as she grins and holds a yellow teapot and teacups. At the top of the image is the book's tagline, "fate happens when you're making other plans."

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 15B

Down the block, the deli door popped open. A man wearing an ugly Stetson straw hat stepped out. My belly both clenched & pirouetted. Then sank all the way to my feet.

Sully.

Of course. Fate wouldn’t have it any other way but to throw us together. Time & time again.

Clearly, I like the word sank. Here's 3 from Beryl 2:

The dog tags clinked as I picked up the chain & focused on the wearer’s name, service # & religion.

My heart sank. Not Sully's. But really, these tags being his would’ve been a coincidence right out of a Dickens novel

“Many things could prevent us from making the oath,” Aimetor says. “We are not in the safest place. There are fairies all around us that might kill us first.”
I let that #sink in. Maybe my initial guess was closer than I thought.

Andino Andina Choices we make In the beginning was the word, and the word was "Bolivia"!? In the evening, after dinner, I decided to do a little research on my phone, just some light and general information about Bolivia. The more I read, the further my heart sank and the more impossible it seemed. My enthusiasm from earlier stuck its tail between its legs and slunk out the door." (c) Liz Rosales

"How could you?" you cry. "How could you build a ship that could sink so quickly? And with so few lifeboats?"

I raise my hands in surrender. "Clara. It's a complicated story and I haven't enough time to tell it. But I promise, I'll explain once—"

“Noooooooooooooo!” I sank to my knees, staring at the spot where Sam had just stood.
She was gone. The one person in the world who I trusted with my life had just left me when I needed her most.
I was trapped and alone.
And it was all my fault.

#TimeTravelAuthors Apr 15: sink snippet

The #sink and stove and cabinets were placed weirdly high. Five centimeters up, at least. I suddenly realized they were at a more comfortable height for most guys to use.

"Valerye reached out and pressed her fingertips to the wall of the corridor. Indeed, any test signals that she sent through her suit transmitter sank into the dense metal like it was quicksand. There might be all sorts of unknowns here in the pyramid that had hidden from scans."

Day 13 #TimeTravelAuthors #RelicofTimeWar #SciFantasy
Silliest Character- Fishlover the Cat

Time Travel Authors – 13 April prompt: Silliest character

#TimeTravelAuthors #Day13 You’d think Patrick is the silliest character, but he’s really not.

#TimeTravelAuthors D13

Silliest character

This would be Khasar, a young teen Mongol who is always trying to impress his older brothers by boasting of his prowess and showing off. He even hits on Sam, and tries to convince her he'd make good marriage material. (Mongols married young.)

Excerpt from story.

#TimeTravelAuthors Silly. The time door opens and a letter arrives! Arthur and Nat get a little silly about it. Unexpected! Whatever can it mean? Martin has to cool them down.

Sahar‘s husband, Daud, does not get much page time in Immigrants’ Journey, but he might be in the running for silliest character there, at least in the second half. And Emma’s eccentric friend Oliver comes off as silly, though he is a serious man. #HistorytownAZ #TimeTravelAuthors
