 4I stepped up to the door. The smell of the smoke was leaking
 5through the door. I was at the front door of Gus's Bar and
 6Grill. My hand started to shake a bit as I reached toward the
 7handle. I paused. I reached for my Beretta instead. My name is Luke
 8Bavarious, I am a private detective called in to investigate a
 9smoking complaint. I love my job.

13I kicked in the front door with my boot, my Beretta ready for any
14trouble I might find myself in. All I see is the bartender washing
15out a mug at the bar with a terrified look on his face. With his
16head he gestures to the corner. I follow his jerks and find my eyes
17looking on the face of a boy. The boy was the age of a fifth
18grader. At last, the source of the smoke has been discovered. I
19yelled to the boy, ``Hey you! Yeah you in the corner, drop the
20cigarette now!'' The boy only smiled and waved me to come
21closer.

25As I walked closer I got this horrid feeling that I knew the boy,
26but I couldn't quite place it. I asked him why he thought it
27was okay to smoke in this bar when the law clearly says it is
28against the law. He flashed me another of his mischievous smiles
29and asked, ``What's the matter Luke you don't
30recognize me?''
31

33
34Suddenly the thought came to me but I couldn't believe in my
35own thought. ``I.. I.. wha.. who are you?''
36
37
38
39``Really Luke, when was the last time you've looked in
40the mirror?''
41
42
43
44``No! This is impossible! You can't be!''
45
46
47
48``Oh but I am Luke, I am you and you know it. Well{\ldots} I
49was you.''
50
51
52
53I was staring into the face of myself as a fifth grader. I
54tentatively asked, ``Why are you here, what do you
55want?''
56
57
58
59``Luke, I was sent from the future to warn you of
60something.''
61
62
63
64``What do you mean the future, you're from the
65past?''
66
67
68
69``Shut up Luke, I was sent from the future, you wouldn't
70understand so let me get back to my warning. I was sent to warn you
71about finishing your little project.'' I was building a robot
72in my garage in my spare time, that had to be what he was talking
73about. ``Your little project may seem innocent enough now, but
74it will be the end of mankind as you know it, and you must destroy
75it before you finish, you must!''

79Suddenly I saw a blue flash next to the boy who was myself from the
80past but from the future. Some acid like substance sprayed out
81through the flash instantly and the boys face started melting in
82front of my eyes. It was terrifying, the skin and the blood and his
83eyes and his tongue were all fusing together in a horrid tangle of
84disgusting gore. I could see his bones through his melting face and
85his screams were the stuff of nightmare. I started to intensely
86vomit all that was held in my stomach, so intense that blood
87started pouring out alongside the sick substance. My eyes were
88bulging and my ears were pumping hard with the beat of my heart.
89The boy was now a pile of melted flesh and blood and gore.
90
91I dropped to my knees and scooped the pile of the once past future
92self into my arms. Suddenly, I was sobbing.
