Time is always flying for my MCs, but in the wrong sense. It seems that they rarely have a chance to recover from their last near-death escapade before another one is upon them.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Victor Stahl." He brushes a speck of lint off the sleeve of his impecabbly tailored suit. "And I am no villain. When the people of the world finally comprehend my plan they will call me hero, leader, and perhaps even . . . saviour?"

I once had my son, who has a degree in mathematics, calculate for me the maximum amount of arrows that someone could launch directly into the air before the first one fell. We had to base this on a sixty pound bow with the arrows going straight up.

I love time tavelling. I can just lose myself for a few weeks, and not have to worry about my mom bitching at me or my asshole stepdad. Sure, things get tough sometimes. But at least in history I have my bow. That won't help me in my crappy normal life.

"I hate time travelling. Yeah, yeah, I know. It's supposed to be miraculous. See history close up. Meet famous people. Experience things that people only dream about." Snorts. "I lost my excitement for it the first time I got stabbed."

Dan - "Enemies? Let's see, there's Victor and all his moronic allies who are trying to take over the world."
Sam - "And don't forget all the people you piss off on our time jumps."
Dan - "They're not enemies. They're just job hazards."
Sam rolls her eyes and mutters.

Dan and Sam in a moment of agreement. "Everything! So many people we loved died, and even more deaths are coming if Victor isn't stopped. We constantly jump back in time to save history, but it is our own history that needs fixing."

I'm not really a huge baseball fan, but there is something incredibly satisfying about the only Canadian team now heading to the World Series!
Go Jays!!!!

History really sucks if you are the wrong gender. If you're a woman, don't travel back in time unless you can tolerate being regularly harassed and belittled. Always keep a knife handy--preferably with a second one hidden. And trust no one!

The first rule of time jumping is "Don't attract attention!" That only leads to angry people carrying pointy objects asking nosy questions like Who are you? How did you get here? and What's in that backpack?

Sam looked me up and down and gave me a mock wolf whistle. “You know, if you take away the broken nose, split lip, black eyes, and puffy face, you actually don’t look too bad right now.”

"The old Dan would have given some sort of cocky answer about how he could handle things and not to worry. But that guy was kind of a moron who had nearly died on every time jump he’d been on."

Based on the number of times that I've been punched, stabbed, shot with arrows, and just plain ridiculed, I don't think I'm winning any popularity contests during my jumps into history.
But it's not like I'll ever meet these people again. So they can suck it.

I don't even really like turkey, but we will be having it tonight, just for tradition's sake.
I hope all my fellow Canadians are sharing the day with people they love.

My top three favourite people are Sam, followed closely by Sam, and then . . . Sam.
Sam
Favourite person? Uh . . . Dan, I guess. But don't read anything into that--we're just friends. And with the way he keeps messing up while time jumping, he won't be around for long.

Weird? My father was murdered on a time jump and my older brother was killed in a hit and run. So now I'm stuck living with a mom who abandoned my family ages ago and doesn't give a damn about me. And I jump through time.
Weird is now my normal.

Something weird I experienced? You mean, other than travelling through time, meeting some of the most famous people in history, and fighting in brutal battles so that I can keep history on its proper course? Sorry. I got nothing.

I'm important because whenever Dan gets himself into trouble, I'm the one who has to swoop in and save his sorry butt. Although, to be honest, it's not all his fault. We don't exactly get dumped into the easiest situations.

Dan
I'm important because I'm the one risking my life to keep history on track. In just 4 jumps into history I've:
-Fought at the Battle of Hastings
-Been enslaved by Romans
-Rode with a Mongol horde
-Battled with the Spartan at Thermopylae
And I thought school was hard!
