Re: 267 night

It might be simpler to show you. Jesus, where do I even begin ...

[ taking a sip of his drink and then sighing ]

I told you I can time-travel. To be exact I can control time and space. As a child I had quite a good enough control of my abilities to travel through space already, and thought I was ready to try time-traveling. So I got in an argument with my father about it, ran away from home, and time-traveled anyway.

I skipped ahead a few years a few times with no issues. Then I arrived there, at the end of the world.

There was nothing left. Only destruction, fire and dead bodies as far as the eye could see. I was the only living being left alive. Oh. Aside from cockroaches. Those are resilient.

I tried to get back and well. I couldn't. Turns out I vastly overestimated my abilities. A few days later I found my entire family dead among the rubble.

I spent 45 years there, alone in the apocalypse, with no one else beside me. And then I got a visit from someone and an offer.
