Write a short story or poem about a time traveler or time travelers. Where and when are they going? Where and when are they coming from? What are they going to do when they get there? Try to include as many historical/futuristic details as possible!! I would really enjoy responding to this challenge and I'm already planning out a story in my head!

The West Wind is a banker in a smart navy suit and a tie. His dress shoes clack on the pavement; he’s got someplace to be, always someplace to be, rushing to the sidewalk, the subway, the elevator, checking his gold Rolex watch.
is more of a creek,
covered in yellow leaves and rotting branches
that staunch the flow like a bandage over blood.
The river in the woods
probably used to rush
like its brothers farther north, shrieking
/ i am running / and for once / i am not
dragging you with me / i am glad / and clearly /
you are not to blame /

Good one! This one's in the Weekly Challenges list for next year too!
Oh, thank you so much! I personally find time travel, especially in movies like the third Harry Potter (seriously, WHY, JK Rowling) so freaking annoying, so I hope someone is able to create something excellent with the right prompt!
