Times Up
I woke up here. It's cold. Dark, the walls are textureless, purple. The air is stale - sterile.
They caught me. And now I'm done. In twenty years, time travel has been created. But, it is highly illegal. As a result, only criminals use it - to their benefit of course.
I guess you can say I'm not a good guy. I am hired to kill people. My watch goes off, I go to a field, a loop opens up. Well, first I wait. I need to get there early. When it happens, a person appears, gagged, and blindfolded. I shoot them. I go on my way.
Let me explain - these people are from the future. By sending them back in time, whoever is responsible in the future is safe. The people disposed of, cannot be traced. No bodies in the future and if their bodies are found in my time (the past), the person doesn't exist theoretically. Perfect scenario to off people.
Today, someone came through the hole that I didn't expect. Me. From the future. How could I kill myself? I hesitated and he bolted.
My people have found me and I woke up here. I know they'll come through that door soon and it'll be over. I risked their business. They can't have that.
It's over.

OK, do you choose the picture and then write the story, or write the story and then choose the picture?
ReplyDeleteI NEVER would have thought that in my lifetime that a cure for HIV would be found. I agree with you - AWESOME.
