Excuse me, I-

Oh, I dropped it. Hello? Is this thing broken?

My name is Dolores. I'm not sure I understand where I am. The kind folks at the... bureau tried to explain it, but I'm afraid so little made sense to me and so many words I've never heard before. My head isn't feeling quite right. Texas is a bit far from home, yet I've found my ranch and my horse as if somehow all the land has shifted overnight. My parents are missing, and our herd seems to also be lost. I'm afraid they won't know the way back.

Is this real? Where is Sweetwater? I was meant to go into town this morning. Has the train come by yet? Maybe there's still time to get back before dark.

	Here you go *. It's a mighty far way to go by horse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. You're a long way from home, I'm afraid. There are trains, still, if that's another mode of transportation you're more comfortable with than, say, cars or planes. Might be faster, or at least easier. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	When is this? Is this now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Are you talking about the year we're in? It's the year 2020. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... This really must be a bad dream. It was only 1873 this morning. Time cannot go by so quickly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, time still works the same. It didn't so much 'go by' as you skipped right over it. Never considered the possibility of time travel before? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sometimes I have felt stuck in the same time, as if the days won’t go by at all. But I never... that can’t be. Time goes by one day at a time as it always has. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I imagine we've all felt that way at least once. Long shifts on watch in the military drag on forever. Time still moves the same way. You've just been plucked from one time and dropped into another. Skipped ahead a bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Were you a Union soldier? That doesn’t make any sense. I don’t feel any older. I’d suspect I’d be long dead if nearly 150 years has gone by. (Reply to this) (Parent)
