Marty swung the door up on the DeLorean and ignoring the looks at the steaming car, stepped out onto a sunny 1955, tree lined street. He waved at a woman and she screamed before running off.
The diner was just across the road. Just as he remembered it. He never thought he’d come back, but there was nowhere to eat in the future. Everything there had shut down.
He remembered great burgers. And fries to die for. Oh, and the malts! His stomach did a happy flip as he hurried across the street.
He never saw Biff round the corner.

#FridayFictioneers is a weekly blog link up hosted by Rochelle over at RochelleWisoff.com, where our gracious host challenges us to fathom a story based on that weeks photo prompt in just 100 words. Thanks Rochelle! You should totally check it out and perhaps try your hand at your very own 100 word story!
I’ve never written fanfic, and I’m not sure this qualifies but maybe so. I definitely used the old Back to the Future prompts and characters in the piece do maybe this is my first ever fanfic. And who knows, maybe there’ll be more one day.
Love the idea of travelling to the past to find a restaurant open. Just one tiny problem. Won’t that spread covid19 to the past?

Dear Russell,
Oh no! Not Biff! One of my favorite movies of all time. You did it justice.
Shalom,

Biff’s a sacrifice he’ll have to make if he wants to eat. Nicely done

Thanks Michael! Biff better not come between Marty and the malts or it could be real trouble.

Marty always was a sharp cookie. Biff better watch out. Nobody wants to stand in the way of a hungry time traveler. Good take on the prompt!

Really well-done. Biff may not have been too happy, though, poor guy 🙂
