Poem: "The Recollection of Smells"

[ysabetwordsmith]

Name: ysabetwordsmith
Story: Tripping into the Future
Colors: Vellum #3 "Edition"
Styles/Supplies: None
Word Count: 309
Rating/Warnings: PG-13; no standard warnings apply
Summary: An alien planet offers a refuge, but raises mixed feelings.
Note: Tripping into the Future begins with weaponized time travel. The series is narrated in second person, and the narrator is the one who fired the weapon on an enemy fleet, dragging everyone so far into the future that none of the stars and planets are even the same. It has kind of an apocalyptic flavor as a result, although there are bright spots too.

I need a story tag for Tripping into the Future, please.
