first draft

All right, I give up. Did I die in my sleep? They always told me about clouds and white angel wings when I was a girl, though nothing says they had to be right about that--it's not like any of them had died before. This place has the white gowns, at least, so that's a point in favor of the theory.

But maybe it isn't Heaven--let's see, what're the other options? The future? I always imagined more city and less wildlife, and I wouldn't've figured on wings as the next big fad, but this isn't bad looking, for a future. Another planet entirely? Doesn't really explain the wings. An alternate dimension? Could explain the wings, if there're alternate dimensions out there where everyone has wings. Hell, maybe it's the past, though I think they skipped the Time of the Bird People back in history class.

Maybe I've just fallen into Wonderland.

Archie Kennedy. I'm an officer in His Majesty's Navy, if it means anything to you.

Nice to meet you.

Isn't it Her Majesty's these days? I read about the coronation last summer, my husband wouldn't talk about anything else for weeks.

That would depend on the year, Ma'am. We have quite a few eras represented here. Mine is eighteen hundred and two.

Eighteen-oh...well! Shows me for assuming everyone here's from the present. Or--well, from 1953, anyway, that'd be the future for you.

Not so far in the future as some. I have an acquaintance who succeeds me by about five hundred years.

Five hundred years--this place gets better and better by the minute. [She's, uh, completely serious.] Must've been a bit of a culture shock at first, talking.

A little, yes. [It still is, it's just the worst of it is over with.]
