Time Machine(EXAM)
Two days ago I made a big mistake. I quit my job, broke up with my girlfriend and ran away from home. Part of me feels free but another part doesn't. I like my old life. I like how I used to complain about work and she would listen. Now I have nothing to complain about and no one to complain to if I did. As I put the finishing touches on the time machine I think about if it's worth it to make the changes. I decide that it is. I remember when we fell in love, all those stupid fights and arguments are so worth is. And my job, I need it. A solid paycheck every week makes a world of difference when you have bills to be paid. I step into the machine, close the door and lock it sealed. I press the correct combination of numbers into the keypad, then I wait. I see bright lights flash, a deafening roar, the pod starts to shake then suddenly..Silence. As I open the pod door I pray that it worked. I step out and it's suddenly light out. When I initiated the time travel it was night time! It must have worked! I check my phone and the familiar text message "Hey Babe" from my girlfriend is on it. Wow! It worked! Now I gotta keep everything the same. I remember I was scheduled to work at 4 so I had just enough time to get there to make sure I'm still employed. I get to my job and my manager Mike says "Hey John, great to see you. You better work hard today". 'Great' I think. Everything actually worked out how I wanted it to be...it seemed. There happen to be a defect in the time machine that after two days, it returns me back to the present time. That means I can only enjoy my old life for two days, if I don't break it. So if I break the machine then I'm stuck in this life forevevr. No going back. But if I don't then I go back to being miserable. I think I know my answer. I'm going to pour vinegar into the circuit boards so it breaks. After doing that I go back to my job, work my shift then go back to my house where my lovely girlfriend is waiting for me. "something feels different" she says. "nah babe, everything is just right, just right" I say as the sun sets and I smile. But as we all know this couldn't be true. This couldn't work out right. Because one day later they were fighting and arguing and not getting along. What a stupid idea I thought. How could I be so vulnerable and not let fate take its course. The day after I told her it was over. We couldn't do this shit anymore. Everything is never happy-go-lucky like people say.
