Doesn’t every other mental patient think he’s a time traveler? I mean, that would be the best kind of crazy. That’s the crazy that I would choose anyway, and I would definitely be from the far, far, far future, like from the year 3,000 where I don’t have to pee for myself anymore.  Let's face it, that's the dream.

 

Now that I’ve revealed my true aspirations, let’s talk about this time travel guy. Apparently, the CIA has been tapping all of his psychotherapy sessions, I guess that’s legal now, maybe it was always legal or wasn’t, but didn’t matter? Anyway, our investigators found out that Mirror Lake seems to come up a lot in the patient X’s sessions. 

 

He may have even caused the phenomenon in Mirror Lake when his aircraft crashed into the lake. If that did not wake you up, perhaps the realization that the tongue of patient X could be a weapon of mass destruction, maybe even ours, has. After all, we don’t know what timeline he is from. So to avoid any further rewrites to humanity, the traveler has been set free and been asked very nicely to help with the ongoing investigation into Mirror Lake.

 

He has also ben given him an endless supply of donuts and a penthouse overlooking the city.

 

Are you scared we could perhaps be rewritten out of existence? Well, how would we know if we haven’t been rewritten several times already? Our memories would have changed with the alterations, we wouldn’t even know the difference.

 

Maybe yesterday I was a tech engineer that invented a mini cupcake machine that knew when you’re sad and puts one in your mouth before you could feel too blue, and now I’m just a lowly writer. Who knows .  . . it’s a strange world we live in, Glorious Galactic Citizens.
