The story continues

                         The Time Masters plan begins.


         The time master has chosen a child to be born to a couple, who will raise him, with a little help from himself, in a way that he will be able to accept the hardship and rigors put on him to travel through time and find out just where things went wrong and restore the powers to travel through time for the rest of the time masters as well as the Hanks family in the future. This is how he is doing it.  Meet the young man and his family.

                                    


        Lincoln Allen Hanks. Son of William Thomas Hanks and Matilda Sharp,
Hanks.  He is  twenty three years old, attending BYU in Utah, where his Father is a professor , teaching Physics. His Mother is a doctor at a hospital in Provo.... She is a Trauma Specialist in the emergency department.
His Father is also an avid Historical Archeologist, who belongs to a
society who's members are finally going to Britain to do some
excavating at Stonehenge.   They have just gotten an approval from
the British government to do so.   They will be going to England as
soon as the school season ends.   Lincoln, called Linc, by his friends
and  his family,  also expresses a great interest in archeology, has been asked by the Society if he would like to attend the dig with his Father......


         Linc, a student at BYU,  is studying to be a geologist.  He has always been interested in rocks since he was just a small boy.  He loves to go hunting rocks with his Uncle Vernon Sharp, his mother's brother, who is an Anthropologist  attached to BYU. Linc is  a very enthusiastic rock hound. A trait he picked up from his Uncle Vernon.
Linc is also a gung ho firearms guy.  Spending  a great deal of his spare time at the local gun club.  He loves hunting, he bagged his first deer when he was  twelve years old, hunting with his Father and Uncle Vernon.  He loves to go fishing with them too.  He never passes up a chance to go camping with his Uncle, who has no children of his own , but is grateful  to have Linc tag along with him.  They sound each other  out while sitting around the campfire in the evenings. They really talk to each other about what they like and what they expect out of life.  Linc was a Boy Scout, advancing to Eagle Scout.  There he learned quite a bit about martial arts as well as how to survive when you have only your mind and your own two hands to work with.

       Linc still lives at home with his Parents. Sometimes takes his Mother to some classes for CPR, she teaches at a local clinic. Since they live out in the country,  it gives his Mom a break from driving. One day while on the way to class, they come upon an accident that had just happened.  A woman in the car was trying to get to the hospital to have a baby, but lost control of the car when she had a bad contraction.  His Mom never went anywhere with out her medical bag and she promptly went to work to insure the new mother gave birth to a healthy baby. Woman was not injured in the wreck, but the car was made impossible to drive and birth was eminent, no time to drive her to the hospital.  The baby was delivered safely, with a bit of help from  Linc, just before the ambulance he had called came down the road.  

       Another time while taking her to class they drove by three kids walking down the side of the road, one had a suitcase.  His Mom made him back up to where the kids had stopped.   He pulled up in front of them along side of the road and his Mom got out and went back to the kids, who ran down over the bank at the side of the road.  She made Linc go catch them and bring them back.  The oldest appeared to be a boy about  ten years old with two younger girls.  After questioning the kids for about fifteen minutes they found out they had ran away from home, because their Mom had died a few weeks earlier and their Father was very abusive.  Linc's Mom showed him the bruises and welts from beatings on the kids after she examined them.  They put the kids in the car and took them with them to the class.  One of the women at the class knew the kids and the crap they had to put up with . She said she thought the Father may have killed the Mother.  They all ended up at the Police station  after the class.   Since his Mom was a well known doctor, the Police let her take the kids home with them.  But not before going to the kids home to get more clothing for each of them. The Father was no where around and the cop who went with them said he would round him up and toss his butt in jail. 

       Well looks like Linc has some kids to get used to since he had no siblings, nor young cousins to interact with. He was charged with helping them get adjusted to a new  lifestyle.  Since there was only one other spare bedroom in the house, the boy had to room with Linc, and the girls given the spare room.  The boys name was Todd Barrett, and the girls, Amy, four and Jessica, who was  seven. were awed to think they had  a place to live where they were not beaten every day for some imagined infraction they had committed. 

       It took a bit of adjusting for Linc to get used to  sharing his Parents and Uncle with others.  But adjust he did and was soon teaching them everything he could to help them.  Todd and Jessica were enrolled in school and  Amy went with his Mom to town and then to a daycare.  Many times Linc had to pick her up there on his way home because his Mom had to stay late.  Ever since he turned sixteen, he had  always fixed dinner after he got home from school,  and now he had to adjust to the fact there were three more mouths to make dinner for.  He was a good cook, learning both from his Mom and his Uncle, when they went camping.  A lot of times when camping , he and his Uncle cooked their food over an open camp fire, using only the material around them instead of familiar  house hold utensils and camp stove.  Linc loved doing it this way.  Catching fish , draping them on a stick and holding them over the fire til they were done,  Seemed to taste much better that way.  He had learned a lot in these last few years, and now that the end of the school year was close,  he and his Father will be on their way to England.

Time on your hands.

I have time on my hands, how about you?

Granny

Happening.

Hope this story is a good idea.

Granny

True that.

That's for sure.  All the losses.  Hair, teeth, mobility, flexibility, memory.  Maybe missed a few items.

Been working on the next chapter of the story., have you read the first one yet, or maybe you aren't interested.  Well any way, I am writing it weather you read it or not.  I plan to plant a bit of history in it.  Maybe a bit of folklore in it as well.

Granny

Who's reading?

Then you do it over and over again.

Now that I have stared another story, I can  lie there in bed and see the whole thing.  Trouble is, when you finally sleep a bit then wake up, you will never remember how the story went.  Gotta start all over again..

So true, Granny

A new story

In talking with David, and him giving me ideas, I have started a new story.  It is partly fantasy and partly Family history.                                  


                                                              The last chance
.




          The twelve ancient masters of time have control, for different members of the Hanks family lifelines.  They have gathered together, for what may be the last chance to recover the way to travel back in time.  Seems they have somehow lost the way, through some bad management  or some kind of skullduggery, down through the ages.  Having lost the way, they can no longer do it themselves, but have found a way to send a member of the Hanks clan, through the portals of time, to try and find out where they went wrong. There are only twelve portals back in time, that they can use right now, until they can restore the lost powers. Once a Hanks is back in time, there are many portals he can use to travel around the time  period  that he is in. The only thing he can do to get back to the time period where he lives, is to return to the portal he first emerged from.  This is the only future time travel available to him right now.  The lost powers  control the power to go forward in time as well , but Hanks can’t use them until the time masters have restored the powers to themselves and make it available to future Hanks.   This time they have gathered together for the eleventh time.  Each one of them having tried his powers to renew the way to go back in time and restore that which was lost, and failed.  This time it was up to the last time master to try his luck.
This last master was the  time  keeper for the  timeline of life,  belonging to the Thomas Hanks Family.

        “ I can’t see where you can do any better than the rest of us” , complained Octavia the first time master. “We have done everything possible to rectify what went wrong,” he said again.   “ That’s true”, Grimmer, the third time master burst in with.   “ What can you do that we haven’t already tried”, snorted Donovan , the fourth time master.
The  twelfth time master, Hanson, looked around at all of them and said, “ I have a different kind of plan for this last try.  It will take about twenty four Earth years, but in our time, only twenty four days, before it can go in to effect.  When we meet for the last time,  everything will be in place.  Everything will be ready to go.  We will meet at the place where it all began, at Stonehenge”, he replied.  “Wait a minute”, whined Darwin, the tenth master. “Remember, that’s where I tried, and it didn’t work.  I can’t help it if the volunteer never returned”.  Then Hanson said, “You didn’t prepare the man to face up to the rigors of time travel. I think.  The person I want to send to fix our problem is, at this very moment being well prepared.  Next time we meet, you will see”
