Flash Fiction: “Older, Wiser, Time Traveler” by M. Bennardo
First off, step one — commit a crime of passion.
You shouldn’t plan this, obviously. In fact, you can’t plan this. The defining characteristic of a crime of passion is precisely that it’s unplanned. Oh sure, there are tendencies. There are indications. A crime of passion doesn’t have to be a surprise–it just has to be unplanned.
