I have always loved you. In six of the time-streams I kill you--twice because you cheated on me, once because you were dying of cancer, twice because you were leaving me because I cheated on you, and once because I was insane. In eight time-streams we married, but we always divorced. Twice, after fifteen years of marriage. Sometimes we have children, but that doesn't correlate to any of our love problems. Once, the children died, and you killed yourself. In one time-stream, I never worked up the courage to even talk to you, and you never realized you were being stalked by a mad scientist. You had a good life, but I died young. I wonder, sometimes, if that's the time stream I should work to make immanent, but the thought of never seeing your eyes light up when you see me is intolerable.

Story Potential: Medium.
Notes: Eh. It could be a decent flash story, but it doesn't really pull me in.
