A woman from the 1940s fell out of time and fell in with a group of time travelers. She's been time-traveling for several years and parters with a guy from somewhere within a spacefaring future. The two of them happen to travel somewhere within a Christmas season similar to what she remembers, and she gets extremely nostalgic for Christmastime and the family she left behind. She wants to visit them, but the thing is, according to history she died in the Blitz, and the rules of time travel don't allow her to interact with anyone from the timeline of her lifespan. They can jury-rig a way for her to see the proceedings, but she'll be outside the normal flow of time, unseen, unheard and undetected by anyone around her. A Christmas ghost. She decides the risk is worth it and goes to see them. Heartstring-tugging sentiment ensues.
#i really need to stop getting sci fi christmas story ideas from hallmark movies#i would not be aiming for hallmark#just a sci fi version of a christmas movie#or a christmas movie version of sci fi#i know i don't have time to write this because i already have a too-long list of priorities i want to write#so i'm just throwing this idea out there so it stops distracting me#i just really want to develop these two characters and their world right now#i feel like he has to be from the future but i don't want him being the techy expert#i suppose i could make him come from even further in the past#a roman soldier or a medieval knight or some farmer from the 1800s or something#which could be very fun but i also kind of want to hint at future eras of society#if this got written it would be flash fiction or a very short story#i want a scene or two not a whole novel#something that perhaps feels like a short story extra for a longer series#the urge will probably pass within 24 hours#but for now i need to tell someone about it or i will explode#i don't even know if this is a good idea but it's very shiny in my head#adventures in writing
