The Bridge or Some Place later

Run time about 12 minutes

Michael, a Vietnam veteran with a serious head injury, is at work in the control room of a drawbridge in 1978. Truc appears, demanding that the bridge be raised to allow his cruise ship through. Michael informs him that not only is the bridge inoperable, the river is only about six feet deep. Truc soon realizes, but has difficulty believing, that he has gone back in time from 2015 to 1978 and has no idea how to return. His ship has disappeared. He and Michael discuss the situation. There is another apparent time shift. Truc is still in the control room, but his ship is heard, sounding its horn to request that the bridge be raised. Truc makes a desperate decision.
