Falling Through the Archives
100 years ago there was a man named John. Or was it 80 years ago? Or was it today? Even John’s not sure. All he really knows is that while so many things change, there are also so many things that stay the same.
Traveling through the web of time with his old friend Ed in their ever changing barber shop, John makes a point to always grab the local newspaper. The time capsules that let him and Ed know exactly where, and more importantly, WHEN they are.
No matter what part of time they land in, it seems John and Ed are known by every local they encounter, so it’s best that they stay up on the times.
Today we find John returning to the shop with a copy of The Alexandria Gazette, the year is 1914.
