About this ebook

Terry is grieving the loss of his former lover, Dante, when an enigmatic and very attractive stranger named the Professor drags him into an Airstream trailer/time machine. Together with his trusty hedgehog companion, Thigden, the Professor sets out to show Terry a vision of his future with a rakishly handsome pirate. Terry doesn't expect an intergalactic space cruise, ginger snaps, or an attack for something he hasn’t even done yet, but one thing is certain: when it comes to time travel, romance is never truly dead.

    Hedgehogs Are Everywhen

    THE Main Street Flea Market was an odd confluence of people and trinkets that Terry found comforting. He appreciated the idealism. Seemingly worthless items gathered and placed on display for others to sift through and find hidden treasure. Despite his reluctance to mingle with other people, especially in crowds, Terry was here every Saturday searching—for what he didn’t know. But he’d found wonderful things in the meantime: rare Pez dispensers, original vinyl albums (the Beatles, mostly), and various kitschy baubles from bygone eras.

    Terry was something of an anachronism himself, with his auburn mop top framing his thin, pale face, and his mod-cut blazer, skinny black pants, and Beatle boots. He wore dark, Roy Orbison sunglasses and a checked button-down shirt, with a vintage messenger bag slung across his shoulder. Buttons adorned the bag with band logos and slogans, everything from The Cure to They Might Be Giants, as well as a patch with a skull and crossbones on a rainbow flag. Inside the bag was an equally eclectic assortment of comics: Batman, Ghost World, Tank Girl, and Maus, whatever he might be in the mood for at any given time. He kept a sketchbook and a few art supplies as well.

    Terry lived most of his life in the past. Not the recent past, where the pain was, but just a bit further, where things were safe.

His mind drifted to Dante for a moment, his mouth, the way he tilted his head and smiled. Terry gritted his teeth, forcing himself to focus on other things, like an original set of Masters of the Universe action figures on the table before him. He chuckled at their silly names: Fistor, Lobstor, Stinkor. He wondered what his He-Man name would be—Lamentor? Depressor? Terry shook his head, a smirk on his thin lips. It would have to be Cliché-or, Terry thought, considering his feelings and reactions to recent events. Terry hated being that guy.

    His reverie was interrupted by some sort of disturbance across the market, near the fountain at the center of the park. He turned, his eyes wide, toward the commotion. People were dashing around frantically. Terry stood on the tips of his pointed boots, trying to see what was going on.
