You see, the problem with time travel is that it takes a toll on the body. It actually disrupts your cells and their natural functions causing what I call "Temporal Disruption Sickness." I know the name is long, but it describes what you experience. I have been living with this for 56 years, 28 days, 17 hours, and 35 minutes according to my watch. I have decided that since I finished telling you my story, I will end all life prolonging treatment today. "Until then," she said to me, and now it is then.
