I was woken up by the knock rattling my windows on my barracks. “WHO’S THERE !?”

No answer ..

I get out of bed and frustratingly open my door to find nothing but a note on my door, whoever it was didn’t even have the decency to stay around.

“I was told this way of contact was the only way possible, I’m afraid you’ll just have to trust in me, without ever meeting me. I am you, Dave. I have traveled from 2050 to try and warn you. I know how this must sound , crazy, like a prank. Trust me, I know myself well enough to know what you’re thinking”

Ha, what is this bullshit , why would I ever believe this. I know one of my buddies did this

“Maybe if I tell you a couple things about ourself you’ll at least give this a second thought. I know ; you’re scared of the dark because of your childhood, you have a birthmark on your ass in the shape of a Star, And trust me I’m not one of your bunk mates who decided to pull down your pants mid night just for an elaborate joke. “ “ Look you still might not believe me, but regardless- someone is after us ! You have to believe me, I’m trying to save you before something bad happens tonight. Long story short is you know too much information and there are people trying to cover this up, cover me and you up! I have a safe spot for you in the basement of the infirmary but you need to stay in your bunk till dawn, it’s not safe right now out there. I will send more instructions to follow. ”

I roll my eyes, I’m ready to head back to bed. As I’m trying to decide if I want to continue reading, I hear a loud aggressive knock at the door- I’m tired of wasting my time on this shit show, I had enough of this letter anyway. I crumpled the note into a perfect ball, threw it behind me and headed to answer the door - maybe I’ll find out who’s behind this nonsense anyway”

*GUN SHOT FIRES*

The end of the letter read ..

“Just please trust me, whatever you do, don’t answer the knock on your door tonight ..”

To be continued... Possibly 😉
