Yours Truly, 2095
by Brian Paone
GENRE: Time Travel Romance


BLURB:

Jeff Blue - the victim of a time-travel conspiracy - wakes up trapped in the year 2095. The only familiar face is J0, a robotic copy of the wife he left behind in 1981. But can she be trusted? J0 could be the only key to unlock Jeff's journey home, but it will require her to do something against her programming , something human.

During Jeff's perilous journey through the future, he will have to discover the truth about J0's origins, and solve the mystery behind how he wound up in 2095, in order to uncover the reality of his own destiny.

Armed with a one-way ticket to the moon, Jeff must race against the clock to seize what might be his last chance to return home to his time. A time without hover cars, Justice Computers, or TeleSkins - a time over 100 years ago.

EXCERPT:

Without warning, there was a loud rumble outside. The interior of the house dimmed as if someone had shut the sun off.

“Storm’s coming,” Bev said. “We should get going.”

I nodded. I was on foot and had to swing by the mall before I went home. While Bev secured the lock, I wondered if it was the last time I would ever get to see my house.

“Please, call me if you have any further questions or would like to meet with the Lynnes.”

She made her way to her hover car that was parked on the street. I went down West Winter Street toward Laredo Avenue.

Just then thunder boomed, and a lightning bolt filled the sky. I imagined a cracking noise that deep would make small children jump and quickly hide.

I could see the children from the soccer game run and collect their belongings to get inside before the rain came. I was happy to see they all still clutched the flowers I had given them. The last child was out of sight when another bolt of lightning struck across a previously empty sky which had become invaded by ominous and brooding clouds. The skies darkened even more, and the street grew menacingly dim.

Then the rain came.

As I reached the corner of Laredo and West Winter, I blended in with the rest of the bustling pedestrians on the sidewalk. People began to scatter as the raindrops hit the ground and struck the faces of the passersby. Maybe the rain would wash away all the tears that I had embarrassingly cried in front of a stranger.

I tucked the remaining flowers under my arm as I continued back toward the mall.

Other than English, I can speak some Japanese since I lived in Japan from 2011-2015. I took Spanish in High School but remember very little of it.
