After my grandfather died about 12 years ago we were cleaning out his attic, I found an old picture of what I thought was him when he was young, standing in front of a great redwood tree.
"He looks like an older version of me"
I put the picture in a frame and put in in the jungle of pictures that we have.
Fast forward 12 years and I just got back from California, I was looking through the pictures and saw one of me standing in front of a great redwood.
"I've seen this picture somewhere."
I looked on the picture self and picked up the picture of my great grandfather, they were identical down to the hair cut and mustache, wood on the tree, and even the angle. The only true difference was that mine was in color and his was black/white.
I turned around the picture of my grandfather and on the back, written in faded our pencil said
"To my dear grandson, whomever you might be in approximately 61 years. I urge you to not drink the glass of water you poured previous to noticing these pictures and their similarities. I hope you well, and I will always keep an eye out for you.
-love grandpap"
I turn around and look at the glass of water sitting next to me that I poured not 10 minutes ago. And all I could muster to say to my self is "what the hell?".
