One's Memory: A Time Travel Fic

This fic also goes forth to my theory that time can only go forward and the memory of one's past is the only way back to where you want to go, along with my possible dream of making a time machine, which is the same idea in this story. Enjoy!

 

[spoiler=Prologue]Some people believe that time can be passable through certain technology. However, I'm afraid that's impossible. It is said that time is meant to keep going forward without ever stopping. Some people might second this theory, but I'm pretty sure about it. I mean, can time be manipulated? My theory is no. But time can be copied through virtual reality. What I mean is that I can use one's memories and open a portal to the virtual reality chamber where the chosen memory of the past has been first scanned and copied. If you want to know where the idea came from then follow me!

 

You see, ten years ago, I had the idea of making a supposed time machine that can only take you to the past by one's memory. Much like lots of unexplainable things, it is unsure exactly how memories are stored in the brain and where. Of course, since I didn't have the technology at the time of my original sketch and I was too young anyways, I had to put it on delay until I was at the right age and when technology began to advance far enough for me to get to work, but that didn't happen until 2 years ago.

 

During that time, I was more interested in video games, but now I'm more used to keeping my invention alive and making it more advanced than it already is. Since copying times of the past cannot alter the future, the world cannot end in creation of a black hole. I realized that after I first tested my device. Speaking of which, the reason for this inspiration is because of the many movies and TV show episodes that mention going back in time, mainly Back To the Future Parts I-III. My interest in video games also gave me another idea that would fit perfectly into my design.

 

When I played a demo of the action horror video game, The Suffering: Ties That Bind, one of the weapons, the Skorpion(Yes, that's how it's spelled) machine gun, gave me a thought of the base design. It would be shaped in the form of a Skorpion machine gun, which gave me a head start. After that, I went around town to look for someone who can help me with a secondary idea that would work with it; a virtual reality chamber, which took an entire year to build and another 3 months to get everything needed to get a wireless connection to the finished product. Over the next 9 months, I worked with my new friend on field tests to find any known problems, fix them and test it again. I was glad that it only took 9 months, or my chance at changing the world would have been a total sham.

 

What I mean is that, at the end of those 9 months, a Puerto Rican scientist by the name of Edward Garcia came to my town for a chance to bring someone's newest inventions a chance to shine all over every known news station and last for as long as its popularity can last. I had just finished my machine and showed it to everyone. There were some complaints that it wouldn't work, but I proved them wrong when I gave a test of Garcia's greatest memory ever, the day he found the love of his life. After a while of seeing his younger self experience his greatest time of his life, Edward announced that I, Johnathan Mason, will have my time machine mentioned all around the U.S. I'm still the guy I was before this, just now I'm a historical figure, creating the first ever real time machine in history. But after some thinking, I realized I should've paid more attention about the things around me.

 

Well anyway, I think I've delayed enough. If you want proof about this, then enjoy a rewriting of my story. I'm Johnathan Mason, and this is my story on One Memory.

 

[spoiler=Character Submission]Yes, I need characters, but only up to 3. So when you don't see this form anymore, the limit has been reached. Each form is a different job and/or a best friend. 3 different jobs, only 1 chance for each. Also, if more than one person has applied the same kind of character, I'll look over all forms and PM all who applied the same job and say my choice and apologize for the ones who didn't make the cut.
