Time To Live #MFRWAuthor

Welcome to the monthly topic from the 2021 MFRW challenge. The topic is "If You Could Go Back in Time For Only One Day, When and Where Would You Go?"

When I was thinking of what to write for this post, I reviewed the time travel books on my to-be-read shelf as well as any television series or movies that tickled the memory. Depending on the plot, time travel stories have been classified as science fiction, historical fiction, fantasy, or romances. The Terminator is different than Back to the Future, and then there is Groundhog Day. And before them there was the classic 1960 movie version of H. G. Wells Time Machine.

Although not all were critically acclaimed, television time travel favorites were Quantum Leap, Seven Days, and Irwin Allen's Time Tunnel (yes, I am dating myself as I remember watching the original series.)

Tear-worthy romance movies that struck a chord are Somewhere in Time and The Two Worlds of Jennie Logan. (I included The Two Worlds of Jennie Logan as a movie as it wasn't a television series, but a made for television movie.

Although in my younger days, I would have welcomed the chance to time travel, now I'm too old with way too may responsibilities. I never developed the skills needed to save the world so that reason to travel is out.

And as far as going back in time to save a lover? With a 50th anniversary approaching in a few years, that wouldn't be necessary unless my other half suddenly developed the talent to backstep.

More and more often the urge to escape my life rears its head, however, I guess I'll have to stay here. Feel free to leave a comment as to your favorite time travel book, movie, or program, or to answer the prompt.

~till next time, Helen
