Writing 101, Day Two: A Room with a View (Or Just a View)

Whenever I think about being able to do something which defies logic and the laws of physics and nature, I think about time travel. While it would be great to have the ability to magically transport oneself to anywhere in the world, or into space, that prospect pales when compared to either being able to go back in time.

There are so many great places that I would love to visit, but what I would really love would be to go back to the places of my childhood or youth. I would love to see how my memories compare to the way things really were. I would love to see how things have changed and to see how much that I take for granted in the present time would be a wild fantasy just a very few years ago.

There are favorite places that I would love to revisit. I know there would be disappointments when the reality of the past failed to live up to my fond memories, but I think it would be worth the risk just to revive those faded memories. I wouldn’t want to go back for the purpose of reliving past glories or changing anything.
