Time Travelers Daughter
Hi! I’m Charlotte Patterson and I invented time travel.
I know what you’re thinking “ girl what are you on?”. But , seriously I used Einsteins theory and formulas to create time travel. You are the first person ( probably the last) to know about this and here’s why.
FLASHBACK TO LAST TUESDAY:
“I finally figured it out! Finally! It’s time to give the a good olé test run.” , I exclaimed.
When should I travel ? Maybe the 50’s? Maybe not that’s not the best time for a black women. Maybe the 80’s? Nope. Crack epidemic. OH I KNOW, the early 2000’s. Perfect.
All I need to do is press this and goooooooooooooo AHHHHHHHH! WOOOSH WHOOOOOOSH BOOOOM!
I made up the sound effects but you get the point. I made it. Im in 2004. Only four years before I was born. I haven’t confirmed the date but thats my best guess considering all of the Juicy Couture , low-rise jeans, tank-ini’s and bone straight hair. I like it here. I enjoyed a walk on the beach , people watched at a restaurant downtown , I even saw a celebrity. I only know because I overheard my parents mention they loved this person when they were my teenagers.
I also ran into this REALLY pretty girl. She had nice hair , an amazing outfit & she only looked a-little older than me. I needed a friend for the day , so I introduced myself . I told her I was new in town. You wont believe this! Her name is “Tara Thompkins” She’s my MOM! She showed me around town. Mom is 17 . She has a boyfriend named Sam. We went to the mall to meet up with Sam.
Later that night we went all went to dinner at a very cool Italian restaurant in Raleigh. Im having the best time. I step away to use the bathroom. When I got back to the table , I realized that had Sam proposed to the Tara. SHE SAID ,YES! Turns out Sam had Moms family & friends there. He wanted them to marry that same night. So romantic. It was all very exciting and magical.
But wait Sam isn’t my dads name? OH MY GOODNESS! Sam….Sam …SAM. I remember that name. He is one of my moms ex boyfriends. He’s the ex from before she met my dad. She cant marry him! If they get married I will have never existed! I have to stop this. Im fading away.
I need to get to Tara. I need to stop this. I need to tell her everything. But, I’m fading away. Im being erased. What do I do? I cant move. I feel myself falling , into darkness. Just as I begin to cry..I WAKE UP!
It was all a dream. I pat my self down. I’m all here. Im still a person and my parents were sitting happily together in our home. Oh my brothers. My Mom, my Dad. What a nightmare! i think I’ll live in the present.
