Thirteenth Abduction [Voice] all of my excuses turn to lies.

[This song can barely be heard playing in the background]So yesterday was...odd to say the least. Most of the time it never occurs to me that in the City there are time periods considered my future. It helps that out of the three people I spend the most time with two of them are from the late seventies. Yesterday I realized there's an entire

Don't worry, you're really not missing out on too much.

[cant_just_hang]

Yeah? What year are you from, Sam?

[srsbusinessk]

2010. So I'm pretty up much to date with the City. I'm guessing you're not too far behind, either early 2006 or 2005? Somewhere around there?

[cant_just_hang]

2005 so no, not far behind. That's why most of the time it never occurs to me that the world has moved on past me. It makes me wonder if something happens at home that I don't remember.

[srsbusinessk]

I guess it depends on how you want to look at it. I mean, technically a lot has happened between 2005 and now, but when you leave this place, you'll go right back to the same day you left. None of that stuff will have happened yet.

[cant_just_hang]

I actually meant that I wonder if I die soon in my world and that's the reason I'm from 2005.

[srsbusinessk]

Like you came here just before you're about die?

[cant_just_hang]

Something like that [She doesn't sound morbid about it. Just curious]

[srsbusinessk]

Huh. Never thought of it that way. It's possible, but you won't ever really find out till you get back. [Beat] Oh wait, there is something you could try if you're really that curious.

[cant_just_hang]

What's that?

[srsbusinessk]

The fountain in the Square. Not sure how it works, but supposedly you can see the other side from there. I've never tried it though, only read about it.

[cant_just_hang]

I'll do some research into it. Thanks, Sam.

How are you doing? You seem better than last time I talked to you.

[srsbusinessk]

Glad I could help.

I'm better, sort of. I dunno. It always seems like there's something new to drag me down every time things start picking up. But I guess that's just part of life, right? I'm doing okay.

[cant_just_hang]

You're right. That's part of life. It doesn't go by set guidlines. Part of the reason I refused to play at all for a while but I don't think that's the right approach either.

You'll be okay. Survivors always are. Whether we want to be or not.

[srsbusinessk]

That can be a good thing sometimes. Usually keeps you from giving up. You get better even when you don't want to.
