The computer had no operating system, and had forgotten the date, but it knew enough to know it was wrong. It beeped at me. I looked… January 25, 1980.
The first thing I thought was, “I WISH!”
Anyone for a “do over”? Or was it just a desire to be younger?
How far back would you go? Should I go back to when I was six and start eating my vegetables? To the seventh grade to do better in math? To high school so I could NOT take chemistry?
It’s creepy that it came up with 1980, since that was not a particularly good year for me and if I could do it over I would. Along with 1973, 1985, 1997, 2002, etc, etc, etc…
Or maybe I just wanted to hear “No, I am your father” for the first time… all over again.
