100 years ago, there was a man named John. Or was it 80 years ago? Or was it today? Even John’s not
sure. All he really knows is that while so many things change, there are also so many things that stay the
same.
Traveling through the web of time with his old friend Ed in their ever-changing barber shop, John makes
a point to always grab the local newspaper.
The time capsules that let him and Ed know exactly where, and more importantly, WHEN they are.
No matter what part of time they land in, it seems John and Ed are known by every local they encounter, so it’s best that they stay up on the times, lest they be taken to the closest insane asylum. Today we find John returning to the shop with a copy of The Alexandria Gazette. The date is July 28,1914, and they are in a place called Alexandria, Virginia. It’s been one month since the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie by the "Black Hand." The chain of events that had been set in motion spiraled into something the world wasn’t quite ready for, and that would literally change the landscape of an entire countries forever.
