Writing Prompt #3059

“It’s your fault he’s gone.”

“I know.”


“We agreed we weren’t going to send Timmy into the Time Machine!”

“I know.”

“We agreed it was too dangerous!”

“I know.”

“And yet you did it anyway!”

“Well technically he stepped onto the dias willingly.”

“But he wouldn’t have if you hadn’t lied to him!”

“I didn’t lie to him! I told him it would send him to the supermarket and we did!”

“Wait, you what?” He fiddled with the screen. “I thought we were sending him 15 million years back in time.”

“No! No no no. We’re out of orange juice. The store closed at 9pm. I sent him back to get OJ and donuts for tomorrow morning. We sent him 15 minutes back in time. M-I-N not M-I-L.”

Timmy banged the door open while his brothers continued to argue. “I got OJ, donuts, and those mini muffins you both like. What’s up?”
