The Story pt. 16

By: Cristian

The person who was standing in front of me looked exactly like me, I was so shocked that I couldn’t say anything. Automatically the man said “hi Cristian, yes I know who you are, there’s no need to hide I am you from the future/alternate universe and I am here to give you a dire warning!”  I couldn’t believe what was happening, unsure what to believe or think. I kept on listening to what he had to say. “This isn’t easy for me to say but both our timelines are in great danger and I have been searching for you to help me save both of us and the world at the same time. You must learn to take hold and understand your power before it  becomes too great and takes control of you. If you don’t listen to me horrible things will begin to unfold over time”.

I was stunned and was still unsure to believe this man was really me. I asked him what year he was from and where he was from. He told me the year wasn’t important but he did tell me he was from space and the future. He went on to tell me the future world was doomed and was taken over by someone or something I could’ve stopped around this era.

But, all in my mind was what could I do? I was just a person who was trying to be something important, right? I just wanted to help people, but I guess if this man was right and was who he said he was I was doomed.

I told the “futuristic clone of me”, ok that I understood. I was thinking to myself, what to do next. I reached out to him and asked him exactly that. Until I saw a big flash surround me, I couldn’t believe it.

Next thing I realized was that the creature/man was gone and I awoke back in my bedroom upon my bed. Was any of this real or was it just a dream?

I was still in stock about what I believed happened before. Laying in bed I kept overthinking about the events that I remembered. I believe I couldn’t take it lightly. I remembered the figure telling me this and I didn’t take it lightly: “You must learn to take hold and understand your power before it  becomes too great and takes control of you”. But what did it all mean?

I got up and showered thinking about all this. I took my dog Spot out for a walk like I normally do daily, but I kept thinking about what the man had warned me about and about what he had meant. Should I take it seriously or not and why would my powers become too great for me? 

I knew I needed to create a new addition to my suit; a ray gun or bomb. That was going to take some time, but I thought to myself that I needed that desperately. 

I knew I needed to keep civilians now safe!
