Time, Space & Love

Chapter One: Stranger

My name is Linda Owens. I'm 24 years old and an author. My life is pretty normal. I go out on book tours, book signings and I make a really good living.

Everything in my life was pretty normal until I got a random knock on my door one day.

Frowning, I got up. Who could be knocking at 3am? Yep, I was burning the midnight oil writing a paranormal romance novel. Cracking the door a little, I saw a man who looked about 30. A man I didn't know. A man who could possibly be a serial killer, a rapist or even a sociopath.

"Can I help you," I said a little rudely.

The guy gave me a puzzled look. "What year is this," he asked me with a confused expression.

I looked at him strangely. What the hell was going on here? I just gaped at him.

"Miss?"

"Yes...um it's 2014," I finally said. "Is that it?" I really hoped it was. This guy, as handsome as he was, struck me as a class A maniac.

"Um, no actually," he shook his head with that same bewildered look.

"Let's get on with it then," I said tightly. I was getting tired of standing in the doorway.

"Well if you don't mind I'd much rather discuss it someplace where it's not freezing. Can I come in?"

"Um fine," I said. I had no idea why I was letting this guy in. This was a recipe for getting killed, but something told me that I could trust him. I opened the door for him. He walked in and I followed behind him after closing and locking the door. What the hell was going on?
