Space/Time Lincoln was in the last place and era he wanted to be: the Negative Zone, an endless stretch of black sand under a white sky.

Due to the destabilizing effect of the popularity of time travel, it had been necessary to create a separate dimension for worlds to go when they were altered by time travel, or else the universe would have been destroyed by paradox. Lincoln himself had been one of the Space/Time Guardians who helped design the Zone. Now, the Space/Time Guardians were all but gone. He had believed he had been the last of that brotherhood alive until the re-emergence of Time/Space Poe.

He was on the wrong side of the paradox line. Journey from the Positive Zone to the Negative Zone was unidirectional. There was no escape. Genghis, Khan of All Werewolves, had removed the most potent force in all space and time from the battle.

Space/Time Lincoln stood up and brushed himself off. He checked his gauntlets to make sure they still worked. He would need them when the dinosaur ninjas came.
