Chapter Text
When we are born we were born to fulfill a purpose. And once your purpose is complete you will finally be fulfilled. I thought I knew what my purpose was in this life. I thought I was destined for greatness and I was going to achieve the impossible. That was until my mother put her foot down and said that I'm not going to college. At least not till I'm older. Which granted infuriated me and caused me to stomp off to my room.
Eventually I got my way and went to a local college and met Doctor Sturgis. My first impression of him was that he was old and he didn't know what he was talking about. But then he started his lecture and as he talked I found myself falling hook line and sinker. He an amazing talker and his points really challenged me in a way that I've never been challenged before.
I went there for a few years before I grew older and then I found myself off to my dream college Caltech. It was there that I made excellent competent colleagues. I worked hard year after year until I finally got my doctorate degree.
From there I found a job and an apartment and I had my first roommate. Which needlessly to say we did not get along. And he eventually moved out. And just a few days later I met a group of immature incompetent men trying to make a homemade experiment. Which judging by the smoke it was creating was a out to combust. And that's how I ended up with Leonard as my roommate. And Raj and Howard as friends.
Eventually Penny and Bernadette joined our group followed by Amy. Bernadette and Howard married and had kids. Penny and Leonard got married and had kids. And Raj found out he was bisexual and started dating a fellow guy friend of his. And I married and had kids with Amy.
But as I'm sitting in my office thinking over my life, I find myself feeling like something went wrong with my life along the way. Because I feel like we're I am in life currently isn't where I'm supposed to be. I feel like I haven't fulfilled my purpose. And that feeling haunts me everyday and every night. Like a nawing feeling in my core.
One night I find myself out back behind my house sitting in a chair and looking out at the night sky and admiring the stars and the constellations they make up. I find myself admiring the Cassiopeia constellation and then Orion and then just the star Polaris.
Just as I'm about to head in for the night I see a shooting star shoot across the sky. It was a pretty sight. And even though I won't admit it to anyone I found myself wishing upon it like a little pathetic kid. I finish my wish right as it disappears below the horizon and then head up inside to get ready for bed.
I crawl into my shared bed with Amy and lay perfectly still and let sleep take me. As I fall asleep I also find myself slipping between the fabrics of reality, layer by layer until I land again. I think nothing of it in my dream state. But the reality of what happened when I feel through fabric of time and space will hit me with a rude awakening the next morning.
