Body on the Beach
Okay, so, before you say anything, no, I’m certainly NOT keeping a diary! All I am doing is keeping a record of my time travelling escapades. My name is Dr ◼️▪️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️ and I came from the future. I’ve jumped across many different time periods. What’s my reason, you may ask? To cause time paradoxes for laughs, of course! I built my own time machine and let me just say, it works like clockwork!
Anyway, so, as much as I want to keep bragging about myself, I better get onto the matter at hand.
Today was like any other day for me. I jumped across different time periods, leaving a trail of havoc and mayhem in my path. All was going well... Until I found myself at an empty, deserted beach during the middle of Summer 2020.
It was abnormal, seeing the beach as empty as this. The sun was splitting the skies and there wasn’t a cloud to be seen! My curiousity got the better of me and I started to look around the barren, deserted beach. Nothing but sand, sea and more sand...
However, that’s when I had suddenly caught a glimpse of something. Something that wasn’t sand or sea.
I slowly trudged to the foreign object that was lying in the sand...
I couldn’t believe it. It was a man. A young man who looked no older than I. His face looked to be contorted in pain. His eyes were squeezed shut and his hair looked brittle and unkept. His skin was pale, almost alarmingly so.
I leaned down and picked the unconscious man up.
For some reason, something about him just seemed so... Familiar... Like I knew him or something... (Time travelling has messed up my mind and corrupted my memories to the point that I sometimes forget who I am).
I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with the man, but I knew that it’d be better for me to take him away from here... I knew it wasn’t going to be an easy task, especially with carrying this man and trying to trudge through this damn sand (which had gotten everywhere. In my boots, in my clothes and even in my gloves!). It was a barren wasteland alright, especially now that the one man lying on it was gone.
Without having much of a clue what to do, I took him back to my time machine... But not before an unsuspecting witness had seen me carrying the man’s body! The woman who saw me suddenly screamed a blood-curdling scream and within moments, the beach was suddenly flocked full of people! People wearing face masks and carrying guns, knives, etc...
What the bloody hell was this?
The same woman then screamed again.
“GET HIM! GET REVENGE FOR THAT POOR DOCTOR!”
It was at that moment that I hastily turned on my time machine. It picked a random year to travel to and the world around us suddenly transformed into a swirling blue vortex.
