Dodge-20: When Hindsight Becomes Foresight

Dodge expected to awaken on 02/02/2020 as a 44-year-old chemist. Instead, she slid out of bed on 02/02/1980 as a 4-year-old child - a child with a memory of the next 40 years. Dodge remembers the future; she already lived through it once upon a time. Her original self still exists safely at home with her parents, which leaves Dodge stuck in 1980 alone, homeless, and desperately short. She's a child with an adult's education and ability to reason, which she needs in a world where children can face monsters.

[This is an adventure, time travel story, but it deals with heavy real-life issues including the loss of loved ones, abuse, neglect and violence in the foster system.  The final message is one of hope: we all want a forever family, and children in the system need people willing to foster who will love them as their very own.]
