Time Traveler
by Chris Scott

Thomas Jefferson was suddenly transported
Into the passenger seat of my little blue Corolla
Speeding through present day Virginia
At 75 miles per hour
Past the exit to Monticello
He just screamed
And screamed
And screamed
And screamed

Tried to type HORROR, accidentally typed JORROR, and now I'm imagining Scream, but Ghost Face is in all denim. Jaws, but Bruce is made out of old jeans. Poltergeist, but Carol Anne is inside a pair of overalls.

Really love this piece, and I loved seeing @brandenburgdm.bsky.social promote other authors at the end of ...And Out Come The Toys !

Also the "older brother" thing is so real. No other 10yo was listening to The Strokes and Interpol like I was back then.
