Perfect Timing

It was 1942 when Benjamin first saw the weird looking girl.

He was seven years old when she smiled and waved, then disappeared, right there before his eyes.

He tried to tell his mum, but she didn't believe him.

And eight when the same girl looked down at a weird device held in her hand, running into a ditch.

And ten when she had said his name. That was nine years ago.

He hadn't seen her since. Now, as its 1950, and Benjamin spots the same girl. An unusual backpack, not dressed in the usual style all the other girls wore, but jeans. And a t-shirt. A weird device that attached to her ears. She had thick make up under her eyes.

He decided to follow her.

When she told him she was from the future, with cordless phones and were smaller TV's, he called her insane.

When she claimed her ear device were 'headphones', he shook his head in disbelief.

He didn't know why the strange girl was here, but it turned out to be perfect timing.
