I felt somehow guilty because, even if unintentionally, I was somehow the “vehicle” that Helen used to reach our times. It would have been so much better if at least I hadn’t known about the luxuries and beauties of your world. The pleasure was so intense I thought I was going to faint with delight. She then gave it back to me and said, “Nice to meet you, Thomas Reed. Most of them were, but some, with some little effort on my part, were perfectly possible. No matter how much I like to have sex, some professor who visited me said that at the end of the war I was taken as spoils of war and raped by a bunch of Greek heroes as punishment for my role in the war. At this point, you will have to put down whatever object from the past you are holding and stop touching any living thing. The Greeks will be defeated, and maybe even get an invasion if they I convince the Trojans to attack.”
There was a heavy silence in the council hall and everyone present was thinking about Helen’s words.
