After watching Cleo with that strange man from the portal, it kind of piqued my interest.  Who is he? Where is he from? Why the hell here?  It wouldn’t be too much longer before I ran into him.

"Who are you, and why are you here?"

"Don’t worry about why I’m here, just know that I’m a messenger of sorts.  From the future."

"Oh? Well…" I scratched my chin. "what’s the future like then?"

"You know those stories about flying cars and robots everywhere?"

"Um…yeah, I’ve heard of it."

"They exist."

"Oh.  Well, that’s…interesting.  But why do you bother coming here?"

"No matter!  But you can find out what happens if you step right in."

I look at the man wide-eyed.  ”Are you trying to get me killed?”

"Don’t worry, you won’t die.  Unless you fall from the sky riding a jetpack, then that’d just your own stupidity."

You know how they say “curiosity killed the cat”?

Curiosity may be the death of me.
