As I walked through the town, I wondered what life would be like after I did.....this.What would happen to everyone I knew? As I neared the cliff, something made me stop, and I flashed back......
Everything was kind of blurry, but I could hear fairly well. I saw everyone running, and when I looked around saw my son, standing,pointing at the huge wave hurtling towards the shore. I ran, oh how I ran, but I knew it was hopeless.
"Paul get out of the way!" I cried but to no avail.
My words were whipped away. As I ran, something hit me in the back. It was a man. "You crazy!?" he asked, "You'll get yourself killed!" The man was too strong. I just slumped down on the sand, a quivering heap.
Then, suddenly, I was back at the cliff. I looked around, and there was a man standing there. The man. "You feel really bad about this, don't you?"
"Guess." I replied, bitterly. "Whoa, no need to be like that."
He said, then started to think. "Okay, I'll give you want chance to do what you think is right, but only one, so dont mess up." "Really? Thank you!" I said, over joyed. "You have 3 hours." he said, setting his watch.
I sound myself on the beach.
"Use them." a voice said.
So following suit, said to my wife I was hungry and we went to a restaurant.
I felt another jolt and found myself floating over my body, then was back to the cliff.
I was shocked to see no town there.
"W-what?" I said.
"This is what happens when you change the past." he supplied.
But I didn't hear him, because I was hurtling down the side of a cliff.....
This is a story I found in the archive, thought I'd repost it.
