Pine Valley, IL - Pine Valley resident Margaret Turner died today from a rare neurologic injury sustained in the process of returning from a magical journey into the past where she had hoped to make a different choice at a pivotal moment in order see how her life would have turned out if she had never married her husband.

"This sometimes happens with traumatic brain injury induced time jumps," Dr. Mort Fishman, a neurologist at Pine Valley Regional Hospital, explained. "When an individual experiences a second head injury before their brain has fully recovered from the first one, dysfunctional cerebral blood flow can cause an increase in intracranial pressure and herniation of the brain through the foramen magnum. Mrs. Turner must have suffered a second hit to her head while she was looking for a second chance at love. What? Too soon?"
Travelling through time in order to grow as a person, or to realize that what you were looking for all along was right in front of you the whole time, often requires being knocked unconscious by a blow to the head, sometimes after making a wish on a shooting star or dropping a coin in a magic fountain. But according to Fishman this rarely end in death, even when a second impact is required to return. "We can take solace in the fact that she likely had no more than 2 to 5 minutes of realizing that she had made a mistake by asking for that divorce from her husband of 15 years before the injury to her brain resulted in an inability to breathe, loss of consciousness, and finally death."
