The sounds of guns ricocheting bullets swarmed the air. The smell of gunpowder, fire,
decay, and bile hang low - wafting in ones face. The Revolutionary War... America fights for
her freedom against Great Britain. A group of six stand near a hill, looking out above the battlefield,
eyes all dark with agony and worry. Would they make it home or perish amongst some unknown stranger. Would their parents look for them - if they had any idea they was in 1775? Oh, God - what if they never woke up!?
The year is 2011, and Boston Mass. has never been more alive. The fall air is crisp and still smells of summertime. School is back in session and most won't ever stop to think - 'What if?'
But for six college students, they've seen the what - smelt, felt, and tasted the if. They have been to the past in their dreams - their nightmares - and have known fear intimately.

The Future
Boston University Boston University was chartered in 1869 by Lee Claflin, Jacob Sleeper, and Isaac Rich, three successful Methodist businessmen whose abolitionist ideals led them to envision and create a university that was inclusive and engaged in service to and collaboration with the city of Boston. From the day of its opening, Boston University has admitted students of both sexes and every race and religion. Boston U is also the home of the Terriers - WOOF WOOF!
Jefferson Heights Apartments Local apartments placed close to Boston University for some of those lucky students that would rather have their own place then live in the dorms. Most of the apartments picture-perfect views of the city downtown or of the college. Luckily, the rooms are all quite spacious, most with three bedrooms-two baths. The rest are one to two bedrooms with one bath. Decoration and furnishing is all up to the tenants!
