I’ve been doing some nerdy work (which you can follow here FYI) recently and as such I’ve had a tonne of notes of nerdy things dotted around my room. Although there’s one I don’t remember actually writing. The one that reads simply as thus – “Cold Fountain Eliminated”.
It’s in a bunch of maths about boxes in 3D space, so it’s possible I just had a moment of madness, but I have only one fleeting memory of writing something like that down. I don’t remember where, I don’t remember when and more importantly I don’t remember why. So that gives me artistic license to make some awesome story up, right?
Part of me is convinced it must be me from the future. You know what with the DeLorean and the TARDIS and whatnot, time-travel is totally possible. With all this computing power I either make my own time machine, or I become a part of some scientific computer company who’s made one that I know how to use somehow. Just think of any time-travel movie you’ve ever seen.
There’s a malicious company called Cold Fountain who are using this machine for horrific means. You know… stock market, lottery tickets and the like. They’re benefitting from other people’s losses. They must be eliminated.
But I am a lone wolf. My employer can’t know about this, as they are partnered with Cold Fountain, who bring in the majority of their funding. If they knew I was after their main source of stability, they would have me out like a shot. I needed my employer as much as they needed me.
So I go back in time myself. To stop Cold Fountain forming, so they can’t screw over the future me. And so I leave myself a note. If I didn’t, they would be completely forgotten. And I wouldn’t be able to blog about it. And that would be horrid.
So that must be the reason why that’s on my notes. That or I was sleep-writing. But that wouldn’t be fun would it.
