"Look what I found", Jan 105003 exclaimed as she zoomed into Aug205006's space. "What?", her brother roller his eyes. "I am trying to finish my project."
"Its called a photo album and this is the house where great grand-dad and mamma lived", Jan105005 continued.
"It does not work."
"It does not click. You are supposed to flip the page."
"They were given names and not autogenerated at time of birth?", Aug205006 exclaimed. "And there are different parts of the house?"
"Po...r..ch..e", Jan105003 read out loud.
Aug205006's eyes widened. "That's the piece I am missing in my time machine."

Poor kids - their only names a month and a year. Definitely distopian, but perhaps his time machine will return them to a less regimented era.
This will be a very exciting discovery for them.
Dear Evergreen,
Welcome to Friday Fictioneers. There's a lot to be said for a name, isn't there? Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Interesting take on the photo prompt - I liked it.

Yes, welcome to Friday Fictioneers!
Times are definitely different in the future... I would hate to be known as a birth date only...
@Liz Young, We never know what our future holds :)
@Yellow Tiger, You betcha..
@Rochelle Wiscoff-Fields, Thanks. Am glad to be here. Yes, Name is our first identification.
@Susan A Eames, Thanks...
@Dale, True that. Thanks for visiting my blog.
What an interesting take on the prompt. I hope we never evolve to number IDs. So cold.
I like your imagination in giving them calendar designations rather than names. It immediately tells us we're in a very different world. A time machine, eh? Good luck to them...
Welcome to Friday Fictioneers!
Great take on the prompt. Very interesting. And welcome to Friday Fictioneers.
@Linda, I hope so too. Don't want to lose the fun imagination with human names.
@Penny Gadd, Thanks Penny!
