More DescriptionAbigail Edgefield was born on January 15, 1833, and died on December 6, 1865. She also passed on September 8, 2030. She was the bastard child of John Edgefield, the plantation owner, and his forbidden lover, the protected slave Annalisa. Abigail grew up with all the privileges of white society, but in the eyes of everyone except John Edgefield, Abigail was just another light-skinned nigger.
Between Abigail's life and death, there were Moca Tift and Morgan Pneuberry. Both Moca and Morgan were from 2017. Moca was the sole proprietor of an accounting business servicing some of the most prominent black business owners and retirees in Georgia. He recently added to his client list Morgan Pneuberry, an eccentric retired math professor and graduate of Morehouse College. Morgan wasn't your typical retiree. He was a historian of black history and the dark arts. At a young age, Morgan explained that his grandmother taught him true black history and the synonymous connection between black magic.
Morgan was determined to find validity in all his grandmothers' stories, but one story stood out the most: the one about the portal. In the oldest part of Georgia in Rabun County is where it begins. Urban folklore states that anyone who sat upon the headstone of Abigail would slip through time to the 1800s. A priest of the dark arts enchanted Abigail's headstone for a lover who wanted to be with Abigail in life or death. Abigail only unknowingly offered the key to returning within a 32-years and nine days travel window. Arrive too early, and your life expectancy was short for a black man; arrive too late, your future becomes black history.
