Dear Alina,
I'm writing to issue you a warning.
Today on the number 20 bus home your future, at least in part, was revealed to me (or unto me). Sometime in the next thirty years, you are going to meet someone. Perhaps you know them already. Perhaps not. Perhaps the person is you, in which case you are already familiar with yourself.
This person will, in around thirty years from now, discover time travel.
You might be the first, you might be one of many, but either way, when you are about fifty years old, you will travel back in time and sit in front and across the aisle from me on the number 20 bus.
My warning is this: by wearing your hair in exactly the same way as you do now, and by wearing a pink cardigan and a purple scarf strangely similar to the ones you own at the present, and by reading that book in a kind of intense, scowly way, how do you expect to avoid detection!? Someone will recognise you! You will create a time paradox! The universe will unravel!! The Higgs field may or may not have something to do with this! Elasticated string theory will snap!
Or perhaps YOU travelled back in time to issue ME a warning.
Perhaps your bad shoes and bag from the annual flower show were CLUES.
But WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!
Am I to go to the flower show and look for someone with those shoes?! Will they tell me the answers? The answers to what?!
Alina, THIS MAKES NO SENSE.
Please advise.
Yours in confusion,
Ali.
