Wisconsin Basketball: Breaking down 2025 roster after final transfers
2025-07-02

Midday, barely a breeze, heat rippling the air over the railroad tracks. On the near platform, people press against the station wall under the shade of the awning. No one waits inside the station: the standing fan in there is no match for the heat.

A wire stretches from a lamp post on this platform over the tracks to a lamp post on the other. From this wire fish-shaped wind bells hang, tinkling faintly. #Cool #down, the tinkling says. Float lightly, all you air breathers.

Luminelle Bijou: The Time Traveling Ghost

Prologue: 2025: A Filthy Alley

Vague shadows coalesced. Regrets, half-lived lives cut short, but by what? There were just swirling doubts.

Revenge” was the first thing I thought. But revenge for what and against whom? No answers arose.

I didn’t even know who I was.

What was I?

A ghost.” That answer came easily enough. I knew that meant I was dead, but beyond that, the word held little meaning. “Can I pass through walls? Disappear? Drain life essence?” I didn’t know.

So what can I do? There must be something.

Again, the answer came quickly. “I can travel through time, space, and reality.” I suppose that was useful, but for what? Revenge, maybe, but that idea led nowhere.

I checked my memories. Did I even have any? No, I was without a past, but I knew things. “One plus one equals two. The Earth goes around the sun. #Down under refers to Australia and sometimes New Zealand. The War to End All Wars started in 1914, and the US entered it in 1917. Lots of facts, but no memories. A ghost with no past. The Time Traveling Ghost.

What about the present? I had an answer for when, at least, 2025. In 2025, plagues had returned, and politicians were copying the 1930s playbook: appeasement, liberal hand-wringing, and the rise of fascism.

I didn’t like where I was standing in more ways than one—spiritually dystopian, physically vile. I stood in a filthy alley reeking of vomit and urine. Slogans screamed from the walls: a red swastika painted over the words “Eat the Rich.

Funny, I was going to say ‘piss,’ but that seemed vulgar. I must be a sensitive, proper ghost.

Whatever, I wanted to go somewhere shiny and happy, away from this diseased time. It would be awful if I were stuck haunting this alley and era forever.

Someplace gay. “Gay Paree.”

Jake pulled up to the gate in his rent-a-wreck.

He'd rented it with a debit card issued via his Cayman Island bank, which for a modest fee would issue a new card in whatever name he was using for the job.

When you were hiring an assassin, you didn't want something stupid like a car rental to point back to you.

He put the windows #down, and popped open the trunk. Then he got out, stood in front of the keypad, and pushed the button.

先ずは己から示せ! Покажіть це спочатку самі!
礼儀や敬意を求める以前に己自身が示し、模範と成るべき。
Якщо ви хочете, щоб люди віталися з вами і поводилися чемно, ви повинні це показати.

As Horace stepped onto Old Colorado Avenue, the sun was beginning to hide behind Pikes Peak.
Lumbering #down the road was a feral triceratops spattered with paintballs. Behind the behemoth was a line of idling cars. One or two dared to give a hesitant beep to hasten progress and finally get home.
Yonder came up behind him, "Mister Tibbs is colorful today, ain't he?"
"Jerry!" Horace felt like he was shaking a tree's branch not a human hand. 1/x

#TimeManager Part 23: Elementary

CRASH

In the lightning flash, a man’s silhouette.

“Frankenstein!” Raven squawked. “In the door!”

BOOM

The tall figure was lit again.

Poe shuddered. “Was it the gentle monster...

TM’s eyes spun, searching for another timeline.

FLASH

...or tormented to frustrated anger?

Raven fluffed and spread their wings, trying to look frightening. A piece of down floated in the air.

TM broke the mood of excited terror. “Frankenstein was the doctor.”

“Correct,” the figure said in refined Victorian English. He stepped through the door, coming in out of the #downpour, followed closely by a shorter man with a revolver.

After one quick appraising glance at the time-traveling trio, the taller man dismissed them and strode to the table, where he picked up a biscuit. “Made today with local ingredients. He has an accomplice.”

“I have them covered,” the other man said in an educated English accent, his revolver pointed at Poe.

“You can put the gun down. They are time travelers.” The tall man was clearly in charge, but his tone showed no need to be overbearing.

“Bosh, time travelers.” Despite the man’s incredulous answer, the gun wavered and then fell to his side.

The time travelers began to relax, with puzzlement replacing fear. Raven even peeked out from behind Poe’s head. And whispered, “What’s he, a wizard?”

“Look at them,” the tall man said.

“You’re not one to joke. But Time travelers?” his companion answered.

“Crekidy. Crack. Yeah, how did you know?” Raven asked, their head next to Poe’s ear.

Poe grit his teeth and put a hand over his ear, while the shorter man stared incredulously at the “talking” raven.

“Observe—their clothes; clearly from the future. And that one with clockwork eyes, a gnome or leprechaun. Both, I think. They are clearly not part of McFair’s gang. Remember my rule: ‘When the impossible is eliminated, no matter how improbable, what remains must be true.”
