After
materializing back in Ethan’s workshop, Chris was the first to recover. “Okay,
what a crazy fucked-up dream I just had!”
“I had the same
weird-ass dream, I bet.”
“Guys, I assure
you it was no dream. You just made a trip to the 30th century. It
was absolutely real; as real as I’m standing here.”
“But how is that
possible.”
“Many years ago
from my perspective, scientists started looking into alternative methods of
transportation as our atmosphere became more and more polluted. That eventually
led to the invention of the travellators, which could transport a person
instantly from one place to another. Not long after, the travellators became
the only method of transportation other than bicycles as any type of powered
motor vehicle became outlawed. It was a complete fluke that we discovered that
the travellators could transport people through time as well as from place to
place.
Once that was
discovered, the government recognized the very real possibility of someone
going back into the past and altering history for their benefit manipulating
the stock market to get rich or assassinating a pivotal historical figure, so
they formed the Timeline Preservation Commission. As an agent of the TPC it's
my job to correct anything that alters the timeline and prevent potentially
disastrous paradoxes."
"Wow," Ethan said through pursed lips. "How is it that you do

“Well?” Ryan
demanded as he stepped out of the travellator.
“Thirty-two
percent restoration of the timeline; I was right,” Duncan said with a sigh of
satisfaction. “The two of you are meant to be together. The question is, in our
time or his time?”
“I think the
next logical step would be to bring him to our time and see what happens.”
“How would you
feel, just out of curiosity, to living in the past?”
“I wouldn’t like
it. I’d have to be careful of everything I say or do. We don’t want any
paradoxes on our hands.”
“I agree. If you
are meant to be together, and everything points to that, it would have to be in
the future.”
“Wouldn’t that
cause additional timeline alterations?”
“Good question.”
Duncan contacted Anne in the records department. “Ann, please get me anything
and everything you can find on Ethan Evans, and I mean everything, including
engagement announcements, weddings, children, contributions to society by him
and any offspring. Thanks!”
“Duncan, I
promised Ethan and his brother that I’d come back and explain everything. I
picked up a keepsake box from the Antique store, but I didn’t look at it very
closely, and I should have. It was same box Ethan gave his cousin for her
birthday a month prior. We have a potential paradox on our hands, but I don’t
think that will happen.”
“Get back there
and see that it doesn’t!” Duncan snapped. Of
all the… He was unable to complete the thought.
