Journal Entry 75
Today was a great day in the TTC (Teleportation Transportation Company) We managed to send someone exactly 10 inches to the left of where they stood. We wanted to start small, so we programed it for ten inches. It was the exct amount that we wanted. The subject said that he felt slighlty dizzy after the whole experience. But now we just have to figure out a way to increase the range. Hopfully one day, we can reach our goal of Teleporation Transportation for everyone, that is quick, easy, and afforable.
How?
“I love you Adam, but this thing-”
“I know Maria... I know.”
-
Ugh, I need to stop this. That was the fifth romantic flick I have seen today.
-
“So go. But know this; I will always be here waiting for you. Our children’s children will know our tale.”
“Oh Adam.”
-
“Oh Brad.”
Who’s Brad. Wait, that did not come from the movie. Someone else was in the theatre with me! Sweat pours off my forehead like a waterfall. I look around me, and-
Oh.
It’s my crush with some guy.
Or so is my assumption.
I sit farther back into my seat and cover my face with popcorn.
“Stop it Brad, someone might be in here.”
“Ha, yeah right. Who would want to watch such a old and lame movie like this?”
Me.
“Umm... me. Thats why we are here for date night.”
“Your right.”
Damn, how can a guy like that, with no care for who their partner is, get a girl like her. I know I can do better than this guy; I can just picture how I would treat her. I close my eyes and imagine it all.
“Hold on Brad, someone keeps calling me”
I open my eyes and-
How!? I’ve teleported about, um, 10 inches into the seat on my left and my lips are touching my crush’s-
Uh oh...
Ten inches to the left and I'm sitting uncomfortably on the edge of my bed.
I could put my foot down to stabilize myself but the floor is cold and i want to be warm for as long as i can.
So then I feel it reflects my life.
I would rather suffer through discomfort for a glimpse of momentary pleasure than make up my mind to experience a new challenge that would in a way be to my benefit.
Life is funny that way but at one point something has to give and the foot will eventaully come down.
Effect
do you remember
the butterfly effect
how when
we’re transported
even ten inches to the left
we’ve created utter chaos
in the known universe
premeditated effects
tempestuous and mysterious
our actions
spreading like fertilized seed
at first innocent and random
and then creating
new cocoons and life unseen
