Midnight Blue

November 22, 2023 marks the 60th year of the JFK assassination, and we still don't have good answers on what happened. If you think the story is over and done, you may not be looking closely enough.

I started writing this story about a year ago after I realized how many time travel stories actually visit 1963 with the intent to fix everything. Perhaps most of the people in Dealy Plaza were visitors from another time. Certainly, a fun idea to think about.

I've released this story as a book on Amazon. It's available as an ebook and in print. The story will be available below for free until the end of the year. CORRECTION: The story is now exclusively on Amazon and available in Kindle Unlimited. If you'd like to support my habit of writing crazy stuff, please feel free to purchase a copy or use Kindle Unlimited and leave a review.

Who knew time travel had destination spots? Donovan Hidell certainly didn’t, yet for his first real outing, he picked the spot of all spots and met some new friends. The following story is pure fiction, as far as I know.

A while back, I was meandering around in an antique shop when I came across the most striking antique letterbox with an art nouveau motif. The price was just right, so it found its way to my desk at home shortly after that. I began storing some of my favorite documents in it until one day, like a dunce, I bumped into my desk and knocked it to the floor. This miscalculation was more interesting than you would think. As I began picking up everything, I encountered items I had not placed in the box. After dismissing that the box was magical, I realized it had a false bottom where a handful of papers and random items had been at rest. Among the items were an Indian arrowhead made of flint, a Roman denarius in mint condition, a spent round, a ziplock bag of sand marked “pyramids” with a sharpie, and some futuristic-looking things I couldn’t identify. These items paled compared to the last thing I found in the box. Plans. I know this will be hard to believe, but they were plans for a time machine. I know what you’re thinking. Why would a bunch of old relics be hidden in a box with plans for a time machine? I’ll give you a minute. Got it? Yeah.

What choice did I have? I glanced through the plans, and everything seemed pretty straightforward. They were written with such detail that I could easily follow them. Dare I? I dare...
