Can I have a poem-like story?

500 words is so short! It doesn't help that I tried to crunch a whole second half into my piece while retaining the first half. My story idea is easily executed in like 2000 words, not-so-much 500. But I guess that's why it's the Olympics!

I think what I have at least makes sense now, so I'm going to leave it alone. :D

Anyone else wish they had like.... 800 more words to work with? XD
you should know i am a time traveler &
there is no season as achingly temporary as now
but i have promised to return



If you don't know it's impossible it's easier to do. And because nobody's done it before, they haven't made up rules to stop anyone doing that again, yet.
