Elizabeth inhaled deeply, and slowly let her breath out. "Sorry Steve, you've been the butt of a temporal joke. The guys at the office hacked the assignment database and sent me here under false pretences. So I've been looking for the cause of the anomaly, when I'm actually the anomaly that caused it."
"So you can fix this?"
"Yeah. Entirely fixable. I've got the texts all lined up, I just need to press a button."
"That's it?"
"Yep. This entire janky mess will never have happened. We never had this conversation. I was never here. You won't remember a thing."

Shame Steve that you wonโt remember Elizabeth. She sounds feisty and challenging!

Iโm now desperate to see how she makes it all backfire on the bastards at HQ!

And so a lonely Steve stares into his coffee cup... ;) Glad you liked it Neville :)

Yes Jeff, it's a cracking yarn, exciting and well paced. Thanks :-)

I'm still keen to see that fucker Boris get his comeuppance! (In more ways than one)
Jeff Taylor over 6 years ago
LOL. Let the wheels of bureaucracy turn Neville. The loop is closed. None of this ever happened ๐
Jeff Taylor over 6 years ago
Oh, and thanks for the compliment ๐ Much appreciated.
Neville Hunt over 6 years ago
Youโre welcome Jeff.
(Have you thought about a piece from t f Borisโs perspective. He sounds like a real arsehole - perfect for drabbling!)
Jeff Taylor over 6 years ago
I hadn't thought about Boris. I think that there's a lot of "Reader-Hate" for him. Not bad for, what I'd consider to be, a background character. ๐
Neville Hunt over 6 years ago
It may just be the name that makes him instantly hateful and an obvious Total Wanker And Tosser (aka TWAT) :-)
Neville Hunt over 6 years ago
Sorry, that last remark of mine is repetition or maybe tautology. Perhaps turd should replace tosser although that's even cruder. S'cuse my language Jeff; what would my mum've thought?
Jeff Taylor over 6 years ago
Naughty Neville! ๐

We'll see about a series...

I don't usually keep up with a series because I need to be with it from the beginning and I'm usually never there on time. I was with this one. I liked it.
Jeff Taylor about 6 years ago
Thanks Michael. Much appreciated.
Sorry for being away for a bit. Has been a rough few weeks.
