Do you remember the 1959 smash hit “Pulling through the Years”. How about Hank Aaron’s 800th homerun, President Al Gore, or the television series known as Mr. Dugan? Of course not- it never happened. It certainly did not happen on this world or should I say universe? However, somewhere out there, in a plain unknown to us, all of these things happened or could happen. Very few know of its existence. Even fewer folks know of its whereabouts. For those who dare to know or try to understand, they try to grasp the “Flash Point”.
The “Flash Point” has been described as a crack in the universe allowing one to see mundane events as never seen before. However, be wary; the “Flash Point” is unlike any other gateway. The opening of possibilities leaves one open to a plethora of dangerous choices. Your choice can produce ripple effects understood by very few. All one can do is ride the “Flash Point”, appreciate its enormity, and pray real hard.
George Brittel, January 1924
I remember seeing an old man, speaking of my destiny. He kept rambling how the “Flash Point” sent him to help me finishing writing “Pulling through the Years”. Personally, I thought this was ridiculous. I was just a simple hobbyist fiddling about with my guitar. More importantly, I don’t think the world is ready for a female guitarist. I think I will stick to my original plan; nursing school.

I have to admit it was quite an unusual sight. A distinguished gentleman dressing as if he lived in the 1920’s asked me if I ever heard of the “Flash Point”. My first impression was to say “No”. However, I had the feeling that this was not the case. I am fairly certain I had met this individual many years ago. I don’t know; there is something familiar about him.
