eerieindiana | Eerie Indiana Drabble: Time

The milk bottles tinkled in their wire cages, gold and silver tops flashing in the tiger-striped light that flickered through the reinforced glass of the rear windows. Packed neatly around them were the cartons of cream and yoghurt, sticks of butter, ice cream and even eggs.

And behind these was the contraband. The vials of stolen time, no bigger than a thumb-nail and costing as much as a mortgage payment. The lost time, scraped from the exhausts of flying saucers and gleaming with space dust.

The short time, for the parents whose children were destined to die on the road.
