Two young adults escape an impending global thermonuclear war by travelling in time.

This scenario is initiated when a young man learns that a nuclear war is coming in 2020.  He has been experimenting with time travel and trying to look forward.  Once he receives his warning his efforts geared toward physical time travel.  Despite his young age of 20, he holds a postgraduate research position at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.  UNM is better known for its medical center, but as New Mexico is known as the Energy State, it should not be surprising that other disciplines like geology, metallurgy, astronomy and engineering.  His research becomes so obsessive that his mother - who teaches at the Medical Center, decides to set him upon a blind date.

Surprisingly, the young man proves to be reasonably attractive - a former football star (though he has a limp on his left side) - and is well mannered and attentive.  He makes a promise not to talk shop for his first date - and mostly keeps it.  It shows that he has to keep biting his tongue.

The character - Duncan Moran
(Hmm ... images work differently here.  But I figured out a way to create a folder in Chrome for all my images and create shareable links.)

I am looking for a writer with good skills, and not expecting to be heavily sidetracked by RL stuff like school.  If you don't honestly have the time, do not apply.  Also, please don't just reply with "interested".  PM me with your ideas for a character.

Duncan's mother will look for a healthy girl, roughly Duncan's age.  She knows he isn't usually into blondes, but intelligence will override that.  A major in medicine will also be worth points in her book.  Weak willed won't do.  The girl needs to be strong willed, but sensible.  She knows that eventually someone is going to have to "mother" her son and take over making sure he eats right.  She will also be looking for a girl attractive enough to fluster her son.  LOL, get the picture about his Mom?
