Welcome to the 2021 A to Z Challenge! My theme this year is DC Comics. And that’s mostly because of my undying affection for the comic book characters and stories that I grew up reading in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s.

Time Travel
Question of the Week #255
If you were locked in a time machine set for a single one-way trip to the past or future and had 10 minutes to dial in the time and place, when and where would you go? Why?

Question of the Week #115
Given the ability to project yourself into the past but not return, would you do so? Where would you go and what would you try to accomplish if you knew you might change the course of history?

The Time Machine
Title: The Time Machine Author: H. G. Wells Published: 1895 I've never read this book before now. And I'm a little disappointed in myself for that fact.
