The Test

Jeanne Harris was watching herself eat her favorite sandwich at the café down the street from campus, where she’d taught physics 8 years ago. No grey hair yet, she noted. So much had changed since this particular day. The day she ran the first test of her theory.

Jeanne of 8 years ago got up to use the restroom. Now was her chance. She covertly placed a feathered hat next to the empty plate and left the café. A note peaked out from the ribbon, which read: “If the test worked, return hat to Coffee House, April 15th, 2023. 12pm.”
