Is this thing still working? Hello? Oh, good.
They say that history repeats itself, that we, the human race, are forever doomed to repeat the mistakes our ancestors made. And maybe that's for the best, you might think: maybe that is our curse upon this planet, that our god, goddess, whatever higher power we believe in has cursed us with.
But, good or bad, all things must come to an end, right? I think that's where I've found myself today.
My name is John Suh. I am a time traveler for the United States Department of History, based in my hometown of Chicago, the year 2008. But today, I find myself far, far from home, in a place that feels familiar, yet so, so wrong.
Lots of thoughts are going through my mind as I take in my surroundings - my time travel watch is broken, and I may never see the conclusion of Jersey Shore. There's an ocean nearby, a breeze carrying the mutated sounds of what I think was once seagulls at some point. As I look above, the sky is a strange tint of teal.
I can't shake the feeling that I'm being watched… If I die, tell Gaga that Poker Face was the best song of 2008.
