Freaky & Fantastic Day 47 and 48

Hullo, hullo, sci-fi and fantasy lovers.  This time from the pages of Freaky and Fantastical 500 Words or Less, I will be looking at the stories "Ripples" amd "Hope's Power".

"Ripples" is another of my own little time travel bits.  Like superheroes, I don't particularly like writing time travel stories, but unlike superhero stories, it is really more for reasons of logic.  Trying to make sense of most time travel stories just makes my head hurt!  Do the actions of a person in the past affect an established future timeline?  Do you hurt your future self if you harm your past self?  How do you not have knowledge in the future but actively affect the past without an idea of the consequences?  Some stories are very inconsistent with these ideas, which are just a few reasons these kinds of stories bother me.  I just throw these very same problems in storytelling into my brain blender and ended up putting "Ripples" on paper.  I think if you read the story you could agree with my previous points...

The next story "Hope's Power" is about what the title would suggest.  A young man from a village plagued by endless disaster seeks magical assistance to save his people, but what he discovers is not what he expects.  The hope for salvation is a very powerful thing.

And that does it for now.  Pick up Freaky and Fantastical 500 Words or Less now and join me here for the next set of ramblings!
