The Probability Shift

Are you sure?

Kevin leaned back in his chair, the glow of the monitors casting an eerie light across his face. As the data streamed in, filling his drives with the raw materials needed to construct his simulation, a sobering thought crept into his mind.

He was about to embark on a journey few had ever dared to contemplate—an attempt to alter the fundamental fabric of reality itself. By reaching back through time, he risked unraveling the delicate tapestry of cause and effect that governed the universe.

A tremor of doubt rippled through him. Was he playing God? Usurping forces beyond his understanding for his own selfish desires? The implications were staggering, the potential consequences unfathomable.

Yet, as quickly as the doubts arose, the searing memory of that night extinguished them—the blood, the screams, the life draining from Vanessa's eyes. His fists clenched as anguish washed over him anew.

No, he couldn't entertain such reservations, not when the alternative was to accept her death as immutable fate. The laws of physics be damned; he would not stand idly by when the power to change her destiny lay within his grasp.

With renewed determination, he turned his focus back to the data streams, analyzing every byte for potential flaws or gaps that could undermine his simulations. He would account for every variable, model every contingency, until the reconstruction proved perfect.

Only then could he attempt the unthinkable—projecting his consciousness back through time's veil, becoming an observer and participant in events long since passed. The risks appeared incalculable, but the reward was worth any price.

To save Vanessa, he would defy the laws of nature themselves.

Resolved, Kevin felt an eerie calm as the final pieces aligned. The simulations would run, models converge, allowing him to revisit that fateful night, this time with the power to rewrite its course, to change history.

Vanessa's life wouldbe spared, no matter the cost.
