Pocket in Time

Time travel is a controversial topic on earth, number two on the list of top ten no no's to talk about in public right after politics. Everyone thinks that when the government said time travel they though go back in time and be able to come back to the present, or that they go to the future and come back to the present. Nobody realizes it is a one-way trip until it is too late, because of the government thought everyone knew what they meant by time travel. As in, let's freeze everyone in solid ice so they never age! By the time they are unfrozen, they will have made a way to get back! No such luck for the human race, because they all died out and the time travelers tawed on their own.

Alula is a child of parents that support the time travel movement and had her just so they could be the proud parents of a time traveler. They didn't have her out of wanting to care for another human and put her through lots of classes and training. Her existence and purpose is built around time travel and trying to get into the program, to make her parents proud of her and maybe love her for once.

Adan is a boy who hates what he is named after, the earth, he hates how people are spoiled and do nothing. He wants to be a time traveler and go to space, only his overprotective parents won't let him. They don't support the idea of time travel, in fact, they hate it. They won't let him be anything but an almond grader a fucking ALMOND GRADER! WHY the hell is that even a job? The one job that requires you to stay on Earth, forever and ever.
