“Oy, oy, oy! What a rough day.” Alex said as he flipped the ‘open’ door sign aggressively to a ‘closed’ sign.

  The sky slowly turned dark and turned into the ‘dark orange and yellow’ color seen in National Geographic. Everybody had already gone back home. There were no lousy Karens or just people arguing about who hit their cars. Just…peace and quiet. But Alex felt no peace. In fact, he hated how he had to wake up very early, deal with obnoxious customers and go home late.

  He remembered all the crazy moments he had had when he was younger. The colosseum celebration, the heavy metal leg that was now a robotic AI operated leg, and oh! Of course, the Compudahteslanikolamagnetic device that allowed time travel! But all that shenanigans had been left in the past, especially the time machine device. The Compudahteslanikolamagnetic device was dangerous. He had to destroy it, but every day, he regretted what he had done.

  Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

  “Wanna travel to the future?” An annoying voice said, “Maybe you should try our new AI assistant that can help you with all sorts of things!”

  “Uh! It’s one of those stupid commercials again. They don’t know what time travel is.” Alex scowled as he continued to think about his tragic life. But suddenly, a lightbulb enlightened luminously inside Alex’s head. What if he re-made a new chip? A one that can teleport to the future. The future hadn’t happened yet, so it couldn’t change the present!

  “Oh my days! I’m so smart! I’m so smart…” Alex started dancing and jumping around like a monkey that had a mental issue.
