Somewhere In Time Page #3

The rest is here.

One afternoon. I--

I was lying down

in that room.

all the sights around me...

a part of the past.

even the sounds

I heard,

and I conceived a notion.

What, I asked my,self,

ifl attempt

to hy,pnotize my, mind?

Suggest to it

that it isn't 1971,

but 1571.

I closed my, ey,es...

and fed a suggestion

into my brain.

It's August. 1571.

I am in

the Hotel Del Vecchio.

I spelled out the details

for myself...

and did it

over and over...

and again and again

and again--

And?

Well. I'll never

really know. Richard.

I've never done it since.

And I'm not sure

I'd want to do it again.

I felt exhausted afterwards.

completely washed out.

And if it really

did happen.

I was only there a fraction

of an instant. remember.

- A flicker.

- Yes. sir. I understand that. but you were there.

I thought so.

Oh, it wasn't perfect, granted.

How would it be otherwise?

There were objects around me that

were clearly, from the present,

and I knew they, were there.

Oh, if I were going to

try it again--

M i nd you.

I have no such i ntention.

But if I did.

I would disassociate my,self

entirely, from the present.

Move everything out ofsight that

could possibly, remind me ofit.

Then, who knows?

Whoops.

Sorry. Hey.

Hi.

Hi. how do you do?

Listen. do you have 1912 money?

I mean. very specifically. 1912.

[Scissors Clipping]

Aha. That's it.

[ Murmuring ]
