Very Short Stories

Middle of the night writing

What if we could go back? What if we could go back and change something? Maybe something you said, or something you did. Would you want to see the outcome if it was changed, but what if the risk was permanent? What if your change was forever? Would you still make it? The idea of fixing our mistakes and decisions may seem like an excellent thing to be able to do, if we could, but wouldn't that destroy our destiny. Don't we learn from our errors? Don't our mistakes make us better people? But then it kills you! What would life be like if I didn't do that? Or if I didn't say this? Obviously, there's nothing we can do about anything in our past. It's all set in stone, untouchable, only a memory.
