Time's Ripples
In the year 2145, humanity had mastered the art of time travel. Dr. Elara Myles, a brilliant physicist, ventured into the past to uncover secrets that could change human history. However, every journey came with unforeseen consequences. As she delved deeper into 1920s New York City's archives, strange phenomena began: disorientation and growing unease. It wasn't until witnessing an event that altered the timeline, leading to a dystopian future, that she realized her mistake.
Eager to correct it, Elara returned with a new plan. She meticulously recorded every detail of daily life and interactions between inhabitants. Armed with this knowledge, she tried to nudge events in the right direction. Each change led to unforeseen ripples, making her question whether meddling with time was ethical. After returning to the present, bearing a heavy burden of responsibility, Elara published her findings anonymously, warning future generations about the risks.
Dr. Myles' journey had revealed that personal motivations can drive one to alter history for perceived good, but such actions often lead to unpredictable and dangerous outcomes.
