In The Blink Of An Eye – by Hugh W. Roberts
The time machine hummed to life in a blink, thrusting me into a whirlwind of eras. Past and future blurred into a kaleidoscope of moments.
I glimpsed dinosaurs roaming prehistoric jungles, the crowning of kings and queens in medieval and Tudor castles, and cities bustling with futuristic wonders.
Time was a relentless river; I was a fleeting leaf upon its currents.
With a final flash, I returned to the present, breathless and exhilarated. Yet, in my mind, the echoes of centuries persisted, a reminder that anyone can journey through the annals of time in the blink of an eye.
Written for the 99-word flash fiction challenge hosted by Charli Mills at the Carrot Ranch.
