Your prompt comes from a thought I had the other day while reading Cable:
Time Travel is possible but every time you jump you lose as many years off your natural lifespan as years traveled (one way, so a return jaunt would cost 2x the years). You’re 3 years into a global catastrophe.
Write a short story based on that writing prompt. Go ahead and submit your entries in the comments below. There’s no contest or prize this is just for fun…unless people want it to be for a prize. I DO love prizes….but for now it’s just for fun!
Get involved!

Even if I had the means to time travel the cost is too great! For I know not how much time I have left shambling around this accursed reality.
