SF Drabble #466 "Safety In Yesterdays"

"We're going back, and that's the end of it. Go have the computer make you some period clothes. And luggage."

"'Luggage'?"

"Containers for your possessions. You'll put the clothes you're not actually wearing into them."

"Why would I need more than one set of clothes?"

"They're not like modern clothes. They wear out, they get dirty and need to be cleaned. It's a whole thing."

"You're serious about this, aren't you? You really think it's all unraveling?"

"I told you before. Come on, go, get ready."

"Won't the past unravel too?"

"No. Anyway, I don't think so."

"Oh, that's reassuring."
