Other Marys

Mary's time machine was trying to kill her. She knew this, because it kept telling her so. "e;I'm gonna kill you so hard,"e; the jumpkit said."e;Stop talking,"e; Mary said. She was trying to figure out where she was. She was standing in the middle of a cobblestone street lined with rowhouses. She was soaking wet. All around her, soldiers were running."e;You're in Stalingrad,"e; the jumpkit said.A bullet smacked off the cobblestone and went whizzing past.Okay, Mary thought. You should run.
