Escape [173] due 7/31

In the year 2021, or later, your character(s) will discover / see / learn something which puts them in danger. Luckily, your character has an escape plan in mind - a specific place in time PRIOR to the year 2000.

THE DETAILS:
1) Write a short story about a character, or characters, who travels back to a time before the year 2000 to escape something or someone from their present. Their "present" may be any year from 2021 into the distant future.

2) Why does your character need to escape, and what is the reasoning behind choosing that specific point in time to arrive?

3) How is your character prepared for jumping into the timeline at this point? What unexpected challenges might they face? Will the future follow them to the past?

4) The inner workings and physics behind your modum onerariis - be it phone booth, wristwatch, druid stones, or DeLorean - need not be explained, but please do let us know what it is.
