Excerpt: St. Batsy and the Time Machine

Adrenaline surged through Horace. As carefully as possible, he lifted Dorinda and carried her into the time machine. Laying her on a pad next to Batzy, Horace locked the door panel and started the sequence for the reactor. "Clement, can you give us a boost to get us out of here?"

"Thank the heavens!" Maddie appeared on the monitor beside Horace's cousin.

Clement's fingers flew over the computer keyboard. "What took you so long to make repairs?"

"I'll tell you when we get back." Thuds and pounding rattled the time machine. "And hurry--it seems I have offended the natives."

Horace welcomed the whoosh of the reactor opening a black hole and the spin of the time machine as it hit the edge of the time warp. On the external monitor, Horace saw the surprised faces of several of the local townspeople, including Aidan O'Brien, who had issued a marriage proposal to Dorinda. Had he also had a hand in injuring her in elfenchaun form?

Rare anger flared in Horace's belly as he turned to his unexpected passenger. She seemed as small as the little girl next door who loved Batzy so much. Why would anyone hurt such a delicate creature?

The calendar pages turned rapidly on the computer monitor as the time machine raced forward. In only a few seconds, they passed 1900 then the year 2000--the turn of two centuries Dorinda had seemed so fascinated by.

Was he wrong to bring her with him? Perhaps. But Horace couldn't have left her broken body on the forest floor. His Maddie would know what to do.
