The traveller plodded slowly across the long, cobbled bridge. Rain spat from the sky, pounding against the cold road, mist and cloud blocking any sunlight that could brighten the occasion. He could feel the clock digging into his back as he walked. It went everywhere with him, or rather he went everywhere with it. The clock was the key to everything; the key to moving through time and space. It was what had allowed him to see everything that had been, and everything that had not yet come to pass. Life as a time-traveller had its benefits, but it also took its toll on life. Who he had met and who he will meet. He had been to countless amounts of places, all over the world. Being a time traveller, going into the past allowed him to erase things from his past, and give him a second chance if it didn’t go right the first time. Going into the future allowed him to meet more new people, and keep up with new inventions. It was lonely though, for him. He moved around so much that he lost contact with almost everyone he met, sometimes that made him sad. He is on a mission now, though; to go back in time and change something significant, that could change the future forever…
