Off Guard
The blind man left behind his glasses for her. What the hell ? Who wanted those hideous, old fashioned, black goggles!!
In spite of herself she put it on as though compelled to do so. And there she was being pulled at a terrifying speed through a crooked, claustrophobic tunnel of space and time!!
A teleportation device !!!
Now months later it’s become her secret getaway from the daily rut of a 24×7 thankless, bone-tiring job of a homemaker.
The other day somebody remarked, “There’s something about you. You’ve changed… What’s it?”
To which she just waved her hand airily.

You can read the other stories here.
We all need a pair of those!! Well done!
