Old habits die hard, even when the facilitator for the habit is long gone. You've told the Ostium Network you were going back to this time and place because of the historical event that changed the town and the world forever. You say you want to see if you can solve the mystery that has never been solved, while in fact you're going for a completely different reason. You arrive and start walking away at a determined pace, going over the grassy knoll without a thought. It takes five minutes and you're there. You step into the diner, taking in the sights, the smells, the sounds. It's home. Your past. A familiar place you could never get enough of, until the owner decided to move to Hawaii and it was never the same again. You sit and order your usual you haven't had for a very long time, and relive your past vicariously through what you eat and drink and experience. And then it's done. You pay with the correct money you brought with you and leave. Outside the crowds are getting rowdy for the historic parade. As you make it to the door you hear a gunshot, then screams. There is only one shot your pretty sure. You step through. #thoughtfulthursday
