Well, this is the last chapter I have written!

Chapter Five

I lost track of time and the living daylights got scared out of me by the time Indigo’s timer went off. I had finished one full end-of-the-world book and had started another by the time my two hours was up.

It was time to start on all things time. I had to find out how Future Tiffany came from the future. Then maybe I could somehow communicate with her again so she could tell me exactly what to do. Or I could go back in time so I could tell my past self to listen to Future Tiffany or some- thing like that.

I read a complete guide to time travel. It mentioned paradoxes and how to deal with them. Apparently there was many types of paradoxes. One was a never ending loop, another was trying to prevent an event was the cause of the event, and the other was meeting your past self and freaking out. But apparently that’s the rarest one, and both versions had to freak out & faint, which might make the universe unravel. I’m glad I’m not like that.

Time loops was kind of a useless fact; I didn’t really need that, but the time machine section was interesting. However, it didn’t really help, since the book was published 2027.

The book only took me only an hour to read, so I got another hour to read another book. I picked A Wrinkle in Time. Interesting, but not what I needed for this situation.

The next step was to surf the internet. I decided the most effective way I could do it was to use every projector in the house.

I read up on everything that has happened in the last decade. Anything that pointed to time travel or apocalypse.

Yeah, that's it. Sorry this story was so boring. I want to do it better some day.
