Dead Man Switch
The world ends in a little over two years. I’ve seen it happen five times. I’ve managed to change some details, but the outcome has always been the same.
Time travel is impossible. I should know, I’ve been to the future. You see, I discovered how to create a time loop. I’m not going to tell you how to do it, but suffice to say it works by changing a quantum event in the past. It’s not actually time travel, it’s more a reset to a certain point. Like a saved game. It turns out that the consciousness of the user gets transferred back to the reset point. I have it hooked up to a heart monitor. A dead man switch.
I know you probably think I’m acting strangely today. The simple explanation is that the day that took place yesterday in your timeline took place about fourteen years ago in mine. I want you to help me this time. I can’t change things enough by myself. Or, if you don’t believe me, I want you to tell me why you don’t believe me. Tell me how I could have convinced you. I need your help, and I’ll reset as many times as it takes to get it.
