1956

I was my mother when she was 17.  I was also traveling through time in a time machine with a male companion. If I traveled to a past where I had once existed, my previous self would no longer exist. Only my time travelling self would exist, along with the opportunity to change whatever I’d done.

I traveled back to 1956. I was walking through a school that was empty, except that my boyfriend from 9th grade was sitting in a chair playing guitar in the hallway. I asked him if this was his first time being in 1956. He said it was, so I took his hand and led him away. I wanted to show him the time machine because I knew he would think it was cool.
