“Jennifer! Stop, don’t get on the train, please believe me! I love you, I know that your mother disproves of me. I took care of that problem and now you will inherit the estate, we can get married!”
“What do you mean you took care of the problem, John?”
“Well, if she’s not around anymore, she can’t stop us. We can go anywhere we want, any time we choose.”
“Why can’t you just stop this silly time travel nonsense? We live in the real world, just stop it!”
Jennifer turned and walked away, but John grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
“Stop it you’re hurting me, let me go!”
“Listen to me, when you get the money we will live like royalty, I’ll take you places you’ve only dreamed of.”
“Why do you insist on the ridiculous time travel fantasy?”
“Come with me and I will prove it.” Stepping into the street, he hailed a cab.
“Where are you taking me?”
“I’m taking you back to your mother’s house, so you can see for yourself, she’s not there.”
“Mother! I’m back’ I didn’t leave you!”
“Yell all you want, she not here, I took her forward in time and left her.”
“Stop it, John, how can I go with you, you’re insane!”
“Well you’re going with me and there is nothing you can do about it.”
“I did what I had to do, I killed her and now we’re free. I took her into the future and dumped her in a construction site.”
Jennifer tapped her ear and said, “Did you get that?”
“This is control we copy five by five. Bring him back.”
She snapped the handcuffs on him and turned on the neutralizer. “John Ramon Baxter, you are under arrest for the murder of my grandmother, Elizabeth Ann Jennings.”
“What !?!? No, I killed your mother.” “The jokes on you idiot, I’m from the future, and my mother is just a young girl in this timeline.”
The room lit up in swirling colors and slowly faded to black.
