Saved, but at what cost?

-
You fall further every moment, unable to resist the pressure of the deep.  "Is this it," you wonder? "Is this really how I die? Drowning?" Those thoughts fade, along with your bluish view of the pool floor, because you really are, drowning.  But then, you remember the rumors. You remember the horrible fate that is to come. You begin to struggle once more, resisting what you know comes next. But it's too late.  You hear a splash as it dives in, approaching you. You writhe with anticipated pain, fearing the inevitable.  Then it grabs you, claws sinking deep into your flesh.  The blue hue of the water becomes a cloudy red, mixing with your blood.  It drags you to the surface, pulling you back onto the cement, before yanking its nails free of your arm.  You watch as he licks the bits of your flesh and blood from his fingers, laughing maniacally. You lay there, bleeding all over and screaming in pain. Who in their right mind hires a lifeguard with such long fingernai

Declaring Independence from the Flow of Time

  Humans have always progressed. We have gone from walking to flying, messengers to instant messaging, fire to lightbulbs, and radio to TV. It is a natural next step to not only move freely through space, but to move freely through time as well. We hold these truths to be self-evident, all dimensions are created equal, and our movement in them should be treated as such. The first, second, and third dimensions of space allow us to move within them freely, so the fourth dimension of time should allow us to as well. Grievances with the flow of time: In the fourth dimension, time, we can only move forward. In the first three dimensions, space, we can move in any direction we like. For consistency's sake, we should be able to move in all directions in all dimensions. Time travel would allow the people of the earth to form a more perfect timeline.
