Literature Text
Sky fire comes. Strange rock falls. Trees burn. Many die.
Grog sees face in rock---small people---many noise---loud. Mother says more fires come. Brother cry. Grog smash rock.
Tiny people die. No more sound. No more light.
Grog watch sky. Always watch. No more fire comes.
"Assistant Y-17, Monitor 3 is missing," Professor X-3BSA said, horror dawning. But Assistant Y-17 was on break. He hadn't bothered to sign out or check the monitor back in.
"Oh god," Assistant Y-27 said. She pointed to the restricted platform, and Professor X-3BSA now knew exactly what had happened.
The time vortex was still active.
Assistant Y-17 had just cost them all their jobs.

So yeah, challenge stuff. Start with a disaster. A fire caused by time travel that burns the prehistoric world counts.
Also include something out of place for the time period/setting. A tv in prehistoric times counts.

FFM Links - 18 July 2016Welcome to Flash Fiction Month, day 18.
The days begin to move strangely, do they not? Several of our heads cannot believe that it is already the 18th. Others cannot believe that it is only the 18th. The rest scoff at the first two sets of heads and their subjective perception of time, and instead demand more flashes. More challenge flashes, specifically, so scroll down to see what awaits!
Instructions
Flash Fiction Month is about writing – and posting – a story of between 55 and 1000 words in length every day for the month of July. We’ll make it easy by posting prompts every day. We’ll make it fun by cheering each other on. We’ll make it ridiculously hard by posting challenges for you to attempt every couple of days.
Every day, there will be a new deviation where you can post a link to your piece of flash fiction for the day.
