Jeff smiled as he looked over the counter while the man shouted, "Order up."
It had been almost 6 months since he ended up here, and he was just starting to get used to his new life.
He had come to terms with being thrown back in time,e even though he did not understand how it had happened to him.
One minute he was walking through the woods as a bright light hit him & then he found himself sitting in front of a dressing table with cold cream all over his face and his hair in curlers.
It took all his effort not to scream as he felt the panic welling up inside of him as he sat there staring at his new appearance with the strange feeling that he knew that face.
He looked around the room for clues to who he was surprised to find there was not even a laptop or a TV in his room just a bed a wardrobe, dressing table and a mirror and two wooden chairs.
He spent half an hour examining every inch of that room and was relieved when he found the woman's diary.
But he was a little confused by the calendar inside, which stated it was 1952.
He found out his new name was Sandra Elizabeth Fredrickson.
He was now 21 years old.
He sat there reading everything about this girl's life.
He was now living in Washington & worked at the Laughing Chef diner as a waitress.
At first, he had trouble getting used to his new surroundings; everything was so backwards to him.
He could not believe the attitude towards women in this time period.
He was getting paid less than the dish boy for doing twice as much work.
He could not open a bank account without a male relative as a guarantor, and it was not proper for a woman to be out alone late at night.
He quickly struck up a friendship with the other girl living in his lodging house.
Not just for companionship but for moral support and guidance.
But every day he spent there, his mind started fitting into his new body, and he began to recall memories of this woman's life.
Like growing up on his family farm in Iowa.
All sorts of memories of his other life came flooding back, like the first time he rode a horse, or his mother explaining the fundamentals of life to him & the changes his body would go through.
The first time a boy asked him out to the county fair & how magical it was when he kissed him on the Ferris Wheel. As far as he remembered, he had grown up in this world.
But he also had memories of growing up as a man, born in 1983, living through the 990sand the millennium.
This spurred him on to write a diary of things he remembered about the future.
Things he was sure would happen, making sure to mark down which companies would make it big.
If he was going to be trapped in the past, he was going to make sure he used his future knowledge to the best he could, especially now that he was a woman.
He didn't want to end up married to some guy who'd push out a couple of kids and rely on him to be the breadwinner.
He was going to be a strong, independent woman, and one day the richest woman in the United States.
But for the moment, he was stuck as an awaiter of something he did not like doing, but there was little opportunity in this world for a mobile phone salesman.
that
Seeing they had not been invented yet.
But all he had to do was bite his time and save his money and not let this female's sexual urges get the best of him and end up married and pregnant, and one day he would be back on top.
