I shook my head, and backed away. I didn't want to go with them, I didn't want to see what they had to show me. I knew it couldn't be anything good.
"Please, leave me alone," I begged. "Let me go, let me go back to my world, my time."49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLRRwEpoxy
The alien shook its head, and reached out its arm. It grabbed me by the wrist, and pulled me out of the cell. I tried to resist, but it was too strong. It dragged me along the corridor, and then into a large room. The room was filled with machines, wires, and screens. It looked like a laboratory, or a control center.
There were other aliens there, working on various devices. They looked up when they saw me, and smiled. They smiled with their mouths, but not with their eyes. I was strapped to a metal table, and electrodes were attached to my head. A switch, was turned on and a visual screen lit up. It showed a picture of the old house, the time portal, the parallel universe.
"This is where you came from," the alien who had brought me said. "This is your world, your time." I nodded, and felt a surge of hope. Maybe they had found a way to send me back, maybe they were going to help me.
But then the screen changed, and showed another picture. It showed a picture of a war, a war that was happening in my world, in my time.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUrW24AcWo
It showed a picture of bombs, guns, and fire. It showed a picture that shook me to the core! Blood, gore, death, and destruction. It showed a picture of people, people just like me, people who were suffering, dying, and killing each other.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERK9C7XL3f
"This is what you left behind," the alien said. "This is what you escaped from." I gasped, and felt a wave of horror. I didn't even recognize the war, I didn't know what it was about, or who was fighting it. I didn't know how it had started, or when it would end. I didn't know if my family, my friends, my dog were still alive, or if they had been killed in the
I looked at the alien, and asked, "What is this? What is happening in my world, in my time?"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GjGD0bnBQ
The alien looked at me, and said, "This is the result of your actions. This is the consequence of your choice." I frowned, and felt a pang of confusion. I didn't understand what it meant, I didn't know what it was talking about. I didn't know what actions, what choice.
"What do you mean?" I asked. What did I do? What did I choose?49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSmJGBFwAt
The alien looked at me, and said, "You chose to enter the time portal. You chose to leave your world, your time. You chose to abandon your destiny, your responsibility. You chose to change the course of history, the fate of humanity."49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgh8bRwUyS
I shook my head, and felt a jolt of disbelief. I didn't believe what it was saying, I didn't think it was possible. I didn't think I had that much power, that much influence. I didn't think I had changed anything, or affected anyone.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXTA4NgTKl
"That's not true," I said. "That's not possible. I didn't choose anything, I didn't know what was happening!" The alien looked at me, and said, "You are wrong. You are not nobody, you are not nothing. You are someone, you are something. You are the chosen one, the one who was meant to save your world, your time.
The hero, the one who was prophesied to end the war, to bring peace, to restore balance. You are the one who was born with a mark, a mark that identifies you as the chosen one, the one who has the power to travel through time, to alter reality, to shape the future. 49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa6UWaLbtY
You are the one who has the mark of the house, the mark of the time portal, the mark of the parallel universe." The alien pointed to my chest, and I looked down. I saw a mark, a mark that I had never noticed before, a mark that I had always ignored. It was a mark that looked like a house, a house that looked like the old house, the time portal, the parallel universe.
I stared at the mark, and felt a shock of realization. I realized that the alien was telling the truth, that I was the chosen one, that I had the power to travel through time, to alter reality, to shape the future. 49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVmazeibdl
The realization that I had entered the time portal, and had left my world, my time. I realized that I had abandoned my destiny, my morale responsibility. I had changed the course of history, the fate of humanity. 49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEItV2aexX
I had caused the war, the war that was happening in my world, in my time. That I had made a terrible mistake, a mistake that I had to fix.
I looked at the alien, and said, "Please, help me. Please, send me back. Let me undo what I've done. Please, let me save my world, my time." The alien looked at me, and said, "We cannot help you. We cannot send you back. And cannot let you save your world, your time."
I asked, "Why not? Why can't you help me? Why can't you send me back? Why can't you let me undo what I've done? Why can't you let me save my world, my time?"49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcbTGl5sQB
The alien looked at me, and said, "Because we don't want you to. We like it this way. We benefit from what you've done. Because we want to destroy your world, your time."49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H9cPym5ey
Feeling a surge of anger. I didn't like what it was saying, I didn't agree with what it was doing. I didn't want it to benefit from what I had done, I didn't want it to destroy my world, my time.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNW1nbRcxf
The alien looked at me, and said, "We are the ones who built the time portal. The ones who created the parallel universe. Yes, we manipulated you to enter the time portal. And orchestrated your choice. We are are behind the war, the war that is happening in your world, your time."
I felt a shock of horror. and realized that it was telling the truth, that it was the one who built the time portal, the parallel universe, that it manipulated me to enter the time portal. Who orchestrated my choice, and was the one who was behind the war, the war that was happening in my world, my time.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F5FjnRLCO
I knew that it was my enemy, my nemesis, my adversary.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzfqUNDEbv
It was the villain, the one who was prophesied to oppose the chosen one, who had the power to travel through time, to alter reality, to shape the future. The one who had the mark of the snake, the mark that identifies it as the villain, the power to deceive, to corrupt, to destroy. The one who has the mark of the serpent, the mark of the time portal, the mark of the parallel universe.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0e5LETiqT
The alien lifted its shirt, and showed me its mark. It was a mark that looked like a snake, a snake that looked like the time portal, the parallel universe.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWp0o6T9m6
I stared at the mark, and felt a chill of fear. I knew that it was the villain, that it was my enemy, my nemesis, my adversary. I knew that it was the one who wanted to kill me, to kill my world, my time.
I knew that it was the one who I had to face, to face it in the final battle, the battle that would decide the fate of my world, my time.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbMvNGH5kS
I looked at the alien, and said, "Let's do this. Let's finish this. Let's settle this. Let's end this." The alien looked at me, and said, "Very well. Let the final battle begin The alien and I were transported to a different place, a place that looked like a battlefield. It was a place where the war, the war that was happening in my world, my time, was raging on.
It was a place where bombs were exploding, guns were firing, and fire was burning. Where blood was spilling, death was looming, and destruction was spreading. It was a place where people were fighting, suffering, and killing each other.
A place where the fate of my world, my time, would be decided.
The alien and I faced each other, ready to fight. We both had our powers, our powers to travel through time, to alter reality, to shape the future. We both had our marks, our marks of the time portal, the parallel universe.49Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYEM05Yct0
