The Past is Visible

Ability of the Ages

Hello there. My name is Joseph Cuplet, and I have one of the most rare and ancient abilities in history. I can see into every life that has ever been lived, except for my own. You see, my brain holds information of every human who has ever lived, and the lives they have lived before. Due to my ability, I am a historian, and am no stranger to traveling the world in search of answers. However, I have wondered who I have been before... So, one day, I found a bit if motivation in me and decided to set out on a journey to figure it out.

The day I set off to leave, I went to work a bit late, due to doing a bit of packing that morning after I fully decided. I work at a large lot that has a large library, an office building, and a mysterious blocked off building that not even the owner of the place is allowed to enter. You figure you see enough of those mystery shacks in the movies...

So, as I was saying, I decided to not go to my office and took a stop into the library.

"Hey, Joe, what's up?" Marie Fiozami, the librarian, called from the cashier. "You're never late to work, I was getting kinda worried about you for a minute."

"Nothing was going on. Just some packing."

I called back to her as I browsed the history section.

"Packing, huh? You going on a business trip again?"

"No, but, Marie, for your information, I am gonna take a trip around the world."

"Worldwide trip. What's it for, anyways?"

"You know my ability I have? Well, I decided I would find out whose lives I lived before."

"Nice. Well, it was nice seein' you this morning, but I was about to re-organize the place."

"Oh. Alright then. Well, I guess I'm going on my trip right now."

"Now? You checked that out with Cotner?" Cotner is actually out boss, Colin Tenner, or Cotner for short.

"Nah. I don't have to. I'm on a paid vacation."

"Alright, well, run along, Joe."

I nodded and left the library, jumping in my car immediately.
