THE JOURNAL

Supposed to be a mysterious world of ours, happens to be even more mysterious than we have ever imagined. The world is full of undiscovered mysteries indeed. Even the existence of us humans has only been limited upto some theories. The world changed drastically throughout the centuries after the evolution of humans. Humans acquired intelligence and used that intelligence as their weapons as well as their shield against their stronger predators, ultimately getting on top of the food chain. Humans were never the strongest but the smartest beings. They used their heads surviving the stone age and leading us to the point where we stand firmly enjoying the results of our ancestors deeds. We should be grateful.

It's the year 2097. The 21st century has been declared as the century of science. The world is being modernized with each new invention. Theories are being turned into realities. Line of discoveries seems never-ending. We humans sure have come a long way from where we were before.

It was a hot sunny day of june. In a construction site, a worker  found a capsule. The capsule was round in shape and lustrous. The capsule was coated with some miscellaneous chemicals. When a worker tried to pick it up, his hands suffered a second degree burn at instant. It was a severe burn. They didn't take any risk and handed over that capsule to a laboratory nearby for thorough research. It took seventeen days for them to nullify the chemicals which was coated around the capsule. After neutralizing the coated chemicals, they found that it was locked with a highly advanced coding system. It took decoding crew seven whole days to decode it. Inside the capsule, there was a notebook with a black cover saying "A Second Chance" on its front cover. They went through the notebook and found out it was actually a journal of someone.

JOURNAL

DAY 3

It is the third day of my tour to an unknown time period. My time machine malfunctioned and brought me in this unknown time. I don't know why but I thought I should write a Journal to keep a track of my life in this strange time. To be honest, I'm also uncertain about why I am writing my journal in English. Maybe because I have just learned it and wanted to try it. I found English is the most common language of this era. With my drutz trexp, it was a piece of cake to grasp this new language. I'm currently surviving with only my emergency food pills which I estimate to be enough for roughly forty two days.

The surrounding looks pretty similar yet pretty different. I can't tell. The time where I'm from is vastly advanced than this current age. Looking around my surroundings and observing such unadvanced facilities, I thought I mistakely went long back in the past. But when I checked my time machine's travel history, it suggested that I leapt 650,000 years in the future. It is certainly a display error. This time machine model can only leap upto 15 days in the future or in the past. So it is pretty unusual if I am this much back in the past too. Or maybe I am in different world line. I have read about the famous theory of repulsive world line. It says during the time leap, it is possible that we may face a point where the path forks, giving us a choice among future, past and multiple world lines. It's consciously impossible to choose according to our own will, instead our mind unconsciously chooses a random path leading us to either a different time or in a different world line.

From observing perspective, time leap seems like a blink of an eye but actually it is the bending of time of time machine including 5 cm of radius around it which means the air within the 5 cm radius of time machine will also travel through time along it. But the thing is the passenger inside the time machine won't age whereas the things or beings caught up within the 5cm radius of time machine will surely age. From my observing, the theory might be true. I maybe in different world line and I might never be able to return back home. It maybe one reason I am writing this journal with such unworldly informations. The year here suggests 2030 whereas the year from where I leapt was 2312. The past which I have read was nothing similar to this. Maybe I am in different world line. But still I am hoping I will be able to repair my time machine so that maybe luckily, just luckily I will be able to return back to my own time. Just a hunch I guess. It is a complete new world for me, might as well learn more about it then.
