Time Out
Those in the future knew exactly what to do
as each time-traveler arrived.
After all, they’d had the entire duration
to make any special arrangements.
Whether that meant
notifying family or friends for pick up
or arranging medical
or psychological treatment.
In some cases of course
the incoming would arrive expired
due to age or other factors
that could cut a lifetime short.
And yes, of course they aged
when making that instantaneous
one-way trip through time,
there was no getting around that,
it was simply the laws of physics.
In fact that was the point.
There was no memory,
just a blank spot while
while time passed, the body aged
and the criminal sentence was served.
