    Raymond’s camcorder beeped, causing him to nearly fall out of the tree he was perched in.How long had he been asleep? He’d checked to make sure the camcorder was working, and then…Shit. The moon had been much lower last he’d seen it.The camcorder beeped again. Low battery.He rummaged through his ski jacket’s puffy pockets, hoping his past self had thought to bring extra AA batteries. He hadn’t.
