Phantom Time Hypothesis

Donna and Josh, post-series, 100 words.


"You ever hear of the Phantom Time Hypothesis?"

"Is this a Donna thing?" Josh teased, as he rubbed his wife's shoulders.

She playfully slapped his hand. "No, it's some crazy German pseudoscientist thing. Apparently this guy things that the seventh to tenth centuries were made up. We just... skipped them over."

"Sounds nutty."

"I agree."

"I mean, how can years go missing?"

"Who knows?" she said, shrugging.

She continued to enjoy his massage.

"Say, Josh, how many years were we at the White House the first time?"

"Almost seven."

"Seemed less than that to me. More like six."

"Huh. Weird."


[Author's note: The Phantom Time Hypothesis, by Heribert Illig, is a real, if goofy, thing. This is not to be confused with the New Chronology of Anatoly Fomenko, which is similar, and similarly crazy, but more Russocentric.]
