I have been a fan of the Irish rock band U2 ever since they released their Joshua Tree album way back in 1987. Over the years, as I listened to their songs, I thought it would be fun to somehow incorporate some of their lyrics into a short story. I finally did that very thing in June of 2013 for Round 33 of our writing group. As an extra bit of fun, I not only included song lyrics but was also able to work in the title of every song as well! If you enjoy this time-travel story, then maybe go and listen to some classic U2 songs after you finish reading it - I think that would be time well spent.
