Imagine, alone in a dark secluded room, well at least you think you are. The lights start to flicker but too fast for you to see anything in the room, eventually the lights stay on and you search for something, anything to tell you where you are but absolutely nothing is familiar. The walls are white and bare and nothing is in sight but a couple of beds with white sheets. A tall figure appears, she is beautiful and seems very familiar to you, that’s when it hits you, she is you. “Cassie, I’ve been waiting for you, well for me.” She chuckles, “Too soon for humor?” You stare at her with a blank face, too frightened to move. “Tough crowd, lighten up a little will you.” She is in a full blown laughing fit now.
“How is this even possible, you are me? But I am you? How are we in the same place?” You start to question her.
“It’s called time travel sweetie.” She laughs again but you don’t seem to find any of this funny or even logically possible.
“Again, how is this possible, we don’t even have flying cars yet?”
“Remember I am from the future, 20 years in the future actually. We have a little bit more development than in your time.” She humors
“Then why are you here, there must be some type of rules to not visit yourself.”
“There is a rule but then again, aren’t some rules meant to be broken at least once?” She chuckles lightheartedly
"I don't think so"
"I cant wait until I become fun" she chuckles and walks away leaving you alone again. You hear a noise coming from the outside but you can't tell if it is even in the world, it sounds so distant from you. A bright light flashes and then its dark again, you open your eyes and you realize that it was only a dream....
