AnElephantCant just knock up a story
Except when a friend asks him to do it
This may be quite obscure
But he is pretty sure
That both his smart readers will quickly see through it

Full Moon
He parks by the river and enters the café by the back door.
Hi Des, he says to the waitress.
My name is Danielle, she replies, can I get you something?
Orange juice, please.
Certainly, sir.
Have you never been called Des before?
Only by my friends, she snaps.
When I first called you that I told you I wished I was 25 years younger. Now I am.
What?
I found a time machine, travelled back 25 years and sent myself here for you!
She calls to her colleague.
Becks, this weirdo is really creeping me out! Is it a full moon again?
i loved it when I first read it…. why didn’t I say so?
Never let an amateur loose with with a time machine; it will only end in tears.
Very imaginative take on the prompt Mr AnElephant
Enjoyed this!
He simply chose a bad time.
That’s what Des peration does for you.
If your future self came back in time and told you what to do would you do it? That sounds like an interesting scenario.
He should have put a bit more thought into it, time travel’s a young man’s game 😉
He should have gotten her to write a note to herself to certify his identity. 🙂 Time travel can really help a love life along.
Haha silly sod. She has no clue who he is. 🙂 He went back in time, not made himself younger
