“Animate matter only.” That was how they explained it. “The movies were right about that.”
“So I can’t take back any guns? What if I meet up with an evil traveler?”
But I was told no guns, no knives, no clothes, no nothing. Just me. Animate matter only.
Later, when they confessed that they really just wanted to see me naked, that the whole Temporal Bureau of Investigation was a fraud, I couldn't help feeling a bit stupid. Sexy, but stupid.
I had a certain amount of difficulty with this one, then suddenly I had it (and it's 81 words according to my count, so no spanking for me). Could have been more sexyfuntimes, I'm sure. If you think you can do better, why aren't you doing it? Head on down to Flash Fiction Friday and beat the crap out of my silly ideas. Go on. I dare you.

Sorry about that. ;-)
Agent Max, Temporal Bureau of Investigation
Awesome! Happy FFF!!:)
Digging the science fiction twist! No doubt you'd look better as a sexy Terminator than Kristanna Loken did (gah, T3 was awful).
Thanks for playing this week! Enjoyed this one.

Sounds Terminator-esque... *laughs*
Happy Friday.
LOL...I used to dare participants as well. Good luck with that! ;)
Happy FFF!
Thanks everyone, glad you all enjoyed it. While I will admit that Terminator was a definite thought in my mind, I've actually spent more time than I care to admit thinking about time travel, which doesn't really come out in this story. But now that I've said it, I can feel better about it. And I will dare people to compete until I'm blue in the face, for all the good it may or may not do.
Yeah, this challenge wasn't easy, but it's why it's called a challenge. :) Regarless, it's fun to see what we all come up with!!
