Summary : Written for primeval100 Challenge 266, To The Ends of the Earth

Travelling through anomalies could hardly be described as a safe pastime.

On one memorable occasion, she’d walked through an anomaly into the Cretaceous amidst a maelstrom of fire, a hell of burning forests and dying creatures.

She hadn’t stayed long.

The anoxic waters of the Permian had been less dramatic, but when countless volcanoes started to add their twopennorth to the mix she’d beaten a hasty retreat from there as well.

Maybe the next anomaly would bring her more luck, but somehow she doubted it.

She’d now been to the ends of the earth rather too often for her liking.

Very atmospheric and poor Helen's not having much luck with her anomalies ;)

[fredbassett]

Not, more like an unlucky dip.

[lukadreaming.livejournal.com]

Very HELEN! And very atmospheric as well ...

[fredbassett]

Thanks :) I love that icon of yours!

[thelibraniniquity]

Very nice.

[fredbassett]

Thanks :)

[bigtitch.livejournal.com]

Yes, there are nicer places to travel to.
Great drabble

[fredbassett]

I'm sure there are! Even Pontins is probably better than the end of the world, although Camber Sands comes close.

[anyaheart.livejournal.com]

A very creative way to show Helen's travels through the anomalies.

[fredbassett]

Thanks :)

Nice look at Helen's travels. The anomalies are a little like Russian Roulette.

[fredbassett]

They certainly are.

[goldarrow]

Very good.
Surprising just how many 'ends of the earth' there are... *bg*

[fredbassett]

Yes, I think that's what tends to get forgotten.

[olivia-j.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I really like this. Very Helen.

[fredbassett]

Thanks :)

[freddiejoey.livejournal.com]

Fantastic drabble. So Helen!

[fredbassett]

Thanks!

"She’d now been to the ends of the earth rather too often for her liking"

Yes indeed! Great!

[fredbassett]

I imagine there was a certain deja vu on her part.

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Good, thanks.

[fredbassett]

Thanka :)

Nice look at Helen's travels. It wasn't exactly all she was expecting it to be.

[fredbassett]

I'm sure it wasn't.

[natchris.livejournal.com]

Terrific look at Helen in only 100 words

[fredbassett]

Thanks :) I like drabbling.

[judithjohn.livejournal.com]

Really nice drabble from Helen's POV!

[fredbassett]

Thanks :)

[joshinator.livejournal.com]

Awesome!

[fredbassett]

Thanks :)

[rodlox.livejournal.com]

anomalies have a habit of leading to extinctions, don't they, Helen? hmm.

brava!!

[fredbassett]

Yes, they certainly do!

[fififolle]

Heh. She loves it really.
Excellent drabble.

[fredbassett]

LOL, probably.

[nietie.livejournal.com]

Helen is such a brave woman, especially because she's defying it all on her own.

[lsellersfic.livejournal.com]

It's good to remember just how many "ends of the Earth" there have been.

[fredbassett]

It does rather put things into perspective.

[telperion-15.livejournal.com]

Clever take on the prompt! :)

[fredbassett]

Thanks :)

[kristen-mara.livejournal.com]

Was reading the comments and now I'm imagining Helen next turning up at a Pontins in Camber Sands and groaning very loudly ;)

I like the many ends of the world and how they're used here.

[fredbassett]

LOL, I suspect the KT extintion would be preferable that that!

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

yes, there are definitely some time periods where even Helen doesn't want to stay too long.

[fredbassett]

Very true :)

[lilblubox.livejournal.com]

You have to feel a little sorry for Helen - if she's meeting the ends of the earth that often it would drive anyone round the bend! Let's hope her luck with anomalies improves!

Very atmospheric drabble!

[fredbassett]

Thanks :)

[cordeliadelayne]

Very atmospheric.

[fredbassett]

Thanks :)

[ebonyfeather.livejournal.com]

Great drabble!

[fredbassett]

Thanks :)
