Postcards From an Alternate Universe
Oct. 18th, 2017 06:22 pmRemember the mystery postcard from a few months back?
For the record, the descriptive text describes no one that I know. Unless they've been keeping major aspects of their life a big secret (divorce, selling house, moving across the country. I don't know anyone who has ever lived in Minneapolis.
The mystery sender used the same ink, same stamps, and has the same handwriting as the original, which suggests a common origin.
But where's the fun in that?
No, clearly this postcard was meant to go to a different James Cyr - one in another dimension who actually knows this woman. If that's the case, I'm a little worried. What strange adventures could a solo woman traveller have in the Mojave desert? The desert is notorious for being a soft place, and home to... people?... looking to perform experiments or an arcane nature. And of course, the alternate me has not actually heard from this person, since I got the postcard in error.
And could there be a connection to our LTJG Jacob Keyes, recently released from his cryogenic tube? Mojave California is noteworthy for being the location of the Mojave Air and Space Port after all. Are they connected? Time will tell.
As for the alternate me - I wish him well, and hope his universe is a little better than my own. If he can send me a copy of A Day at the United Nations, and season two of Firefly, I'd be in his debt.
