The Butterfly effect, also can be connected to the domino effect, is the theory that one slight change in time can change the entire world. It is derived from the metaphor that a butterfly flapping its wings can change the weather from a sunny sky to a horrid storm. At least, that's what I remember learning in class. It caught my eye for some reason and I paid attention even harder than usual. But I never could have predicted that I could cause not one, but many butterfly effects. If I knew I was the one responsible for saving the entire world, I would have killed myself already. But it's too late, I'm hooking on a drug and can't escape it no matter what. Funny thing is, the drug is hooked on me too. Art by edaki14
