"The Queer Story of Hobson's Newspaper"
A/N: Back to the Hobson's! I'll keep doing the It Happened Tomorrow stories, but I think the readers seem to like fics about Hobson instead... so here's my first in a long time! Tell me what you think so far! Thanks!
SEPTEMBER 28, 2005
"Good morning, it's Tuesday here in Chicago, and here's what's happening..."
Gary's hand quickly reached over and tapped the off button on his radio alarm. Still tired after a long night, he placed the pillow over his head and quickly started to doze off when it happened... MEOW! The sound of a cat with a thump echoed throughout the hallway, and Gary came out of his doze and slowly lifted his head off the bed toward the door where the thump had come from.
MEOW!
"All right! All right!" Gary yelled as he threw the covers to the side and slowly got out of bed to get the paper.
Gary opened the door to his apartment to find an orange tabby cat with a Sun-Times underneath it. He picked up the paper and nudged the cat with his foot to go inside.
As Gary looked at the paper, he noticed that the whole layout of the paper had changed... the logo was different, the type style, even the stories had changed somewhat.
While looking, Gary went inside and closed the door.
"What the?" Gary asked himself as he skimmed through the paper.
Not knowing why everything was different, Gary decided to read the date of the paper.
"September 28, 2045..." Gary read, and stopped dead on in his tracks. "2045?" He asked then looked at the cat that was sitting on the couch.
