Man From Last Week Smacked Into Present Day

WILMINGTON, NC—In a rare case of violence-powered time travel, Wilmington resident Phil Zipper was smacked into this week by a forceful blow delivered by his wife during a Nov. 29 fight. “Wow, I thought she was just talking colorfully,” Zipper said moments after materializing in a burst of swirling colored light at the intersection of 18th and Main, just three blocks from the site of last week’s smack. Zipper, who has been dubbed “The Man From Last Week,” added: “I have so much to learn about your strange world. So much has changed since my time. Is orange juice still on sale at ShopKo? Did the Bulls win Sunday? Have hatred and prejudice finally been eradicated?”
