As Zach left the building he saw a flash of light coming from the warehouse as if lightning had struck but there was no sound that came along with it. He had no idea where it came from but before he could think too much about it Zach realized that he had no money and nowhere to go so he did what anyone would do in that situation, beg.
One day while begging on the streets a woman named Rose came up to him and said she would help him get a job. Zach was amazed at how nice she was but it turned out that it was just her job. She worked for a company that was made to help the homeless get jobs and homes. Rose let him stay with her until he got a house. He was able to get a job at an office in a cubicle and with some help from Rose he got an apartment to live in. Even after he got a house Rose still checked in on him to make sure he was doing fine.
As the days went by, Zach noticed something peculiar about the knife he got from the strange man. When it fell from its position on the table, Zach noticed a flash of light appear in a trail behind the knife. Eventually, Zach studied the knife and when he tried to see what metal it was made of, he couldn't find a material that matched the knife. So he tried cutting the air with it and for a split second, he saw himself sitting on the sidewalk begging in the flash of light. He was frightened, he was scared, but he was amazed. He had done something no one has ever done before. He has found a link to the past something that might allow him to time travel, but he knew people would think he was crazy so he kept it to himself.
