Been having fun with these. Not only do they let me impress everyone with my psychic powers, but it’s a good place to just to put down words!
Before stepping onto the machine’s A-Pad, so called for the machine’s acting as the point A in the A to B process of what sounds like a fairly straightforward time travel device, she recalls the scientists explaining the manner in which the system works.
She listened as best as she could considering the incredible situation she was finding herself in, but most of it didn’t really sink in, especially the part about how time travel only seemed to work if you yourself, in the past, were the B portal through which your present self could enter the past.
“Portals and past selves and all sorts of craaaazy stuff, huh?” is all she says to the scientists when they have finally stopped talking. All she’s really thinking about is wanting to go back and tell her younger self all the things that might help her out. Also, she misses dolphins and never got to pet one.
One thing she DID catch was that speaking to her older self would be inescapable considering how this time travel business actually worked, so no worries there.
Seconds later she’s somewhere dark and terrible, and the somewhere is screaming, and it’s a familiar sounding scream. It’s the sound of HER screaming, only she’s not screaming, not at first anyhow.
It’s when her head pushes out of her own, younger vagina that she begins to scream, and so they’re both screaming, she’s both screaming, and for a millisecond she remembers this happening, only not in the traditional sense of remembering. It’s like the memories are being installed, newly written to her memory and there’s a feeling like going mad.
She tries to cover her ears to stop the screams from the other, younger her from hurting her ears but her arms are still inside, trapped by her younger flesh. She remembers with these new memories feeling the pain was too much and remember feeling that it was all too much and that she is about to die.
And then she dies, half born from her own self.
After that they just went with the time travel machine that didn’t work like that. Cleaner.
