Falling Through the Archives

By: Watershed Z Productions
  • Summary

  • 100 years ago there was a man named John. Or was it 80 years ago? Or was it today? Even John’s not sure. All he really knows is that while so many things change, there are also so many things that stay the same.

    Traveling through the web of time with his old friend Ed in their ever changing barber shop, John makes a point to always grab the local newspaper. The time capsules that let him and Ed know exactly where, and more importantly, WHEN they are.

    No matter what part of time they land in, it seems John and Ed are known by every local they encounter, so it’s best that they stay up on the times.

    Today we find John returning to the shop with a copy of The Alexandria Gazette, the year is 1914.

    It’s been one month since the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie by the "Black Hand."

    Yesterday The Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on Serbia. Today Britain will call for international mediation to resolve the worsening crisis while Russia urges German restraint. Nevertheless, the Russians begin partial troop mobilization as a precaution. The Germans then warn Russia on its mobilization and begin to mobilize themselves. So many moves are taking place all over Europe, but that’s not all that was happening...
