The Forever Man

“Are you leaving?” I asked. “I thought you came to apologize, Professor. So apologize and go.” Instead, I asked the questions that were disturbing me for the last few days. “Are you sick? Are you dying?” “Why do you ask, and why do you care?” #1linewed @The__Foreverman

Hendley. As calculated, he was heading to Kroeker, that sorry excuse for a physics building. The game’s afoot. I snapped the purple hoodie over my head, swung my backpack over my shoulder, and gave chase. #1linewed @The__Foreverman

@MaykenAlanna @LH_Writes There’s still Canadian conflict. Just a lot of “I’m sorry”s tossed in. 😉

@LH_Writes Are they Canadian?😉

But Lord Pirrie became a wedge between Andrews and me. Something that only the owner of the company, & the man’s uncle, could do. In the end, two years of work was all for naught. Our plans to fix the great ship’s build, scuttled even before her launch. #linewed @The__Foreverman

Securing employment at Harland & Wolff was a stroke of both luck and genius. We worked hard correcting Titanic’s build and secreting away tech on board as a failsafe. #1linewed @The__Foreverman

Every journey has one—a point of no return. A point where it’s impossible to go back or just more practicable to go forward. #1linewed @The__Foreverman

Without her overcoat and shoes, the swim cost Me dearly, a much higher price than I was prepared for her to pay. #1linewed @The__Foreverman

Scurrying by the kiosks, we grabbed a couple of Belfast Evening Telegraphs along the way as props. Past the black wrought iron gates, we found the platform void of passengers though the train appeared only half-full. I lead our way to the middle car. #1linewed @The__Foreverman

@LH_Writes Just like trying to remember plot points you thought of in the shower. 😛

That assessment turned out to be my third and fatal misfire during the mission. #1linewed @The__Foreverman

@kilbourneknight @lindseymwrites @BravingStormPgh @Kchildswriter @annie1loves1you @briellums @LH_Writes @scatu2 @IsaLeeWolf Thanks for your cheerleading. The rewrite goes well thanks to @JerichoMckraven. His ideas gel nicely on the page.

The bare wooden chair rolled back as he stood, and a taut grip embraced my hand in a way that radiated trust and friendship. #1linewed @The__Foreverman

“Did you let a woman in a purple dress into this change room?” The words were rough around the edges, and the woman took a step back. #1linewed @The__Foreverman

Patterns of blue, green, and yellow beckoned us forward, like a lighthouse guiding home a lost ship. #2bitTues @The__Foreverman

I write because I must. I'll until I'm dust. #amrevising

“Sit. Please don’t go. You didn’t travel all that distance, after all this time, just to resurrect old quarrels.” #2bitTues @The__Foreverman

Another good omen. Sometimes I wondered why, for all my commitment to science, I still believed in omens. #1lineWed @The__Foreverman

To the melody of hoof beats on cobblestone, old haunts danced past the windows of the carriage #1lineWed @The__Foreverman
