Heidi requested this excerpt from Bell Mountain No. 5, The Fugitive Prince:
By Request: How an Ancient Artifact Scared the Daylights out of Jack
What would a boy and girl living in, say, 11th-century Norway think if they found a functioning cell phone… with someone from the 20th century at the other end of the line?
I like to print excerpts from my books, on those rare occasions when I get them.
Much of what we use today would have seemed like magic in the not too distant past. I’m afraid that the mobile phone has been, at best, a mixed blessing.
They would think someone made it but would be hesitant to believe someone from the future was on the line.
