The day we went back in time.

In 2024 Roger, a 27 year old male from Norway was living in China together with his girl friend. He was a film maker who had done a lot of successful commercials and lived in a nice apartment together with his lovely girlfriend. he had planned it all, Tomorrow is the day he will propose. He has booked a table at a fancy restaurant and found the perfect spot to pop the question. They watch tv and laugh together, suddenly they both feel weird, a strange drowsiness falls upon them. He grabs her in his arms before they fall asleep.

The alarm beeps and Roger feels strange, he has yet to open his eyes but something is weird, the alarm clock doesn't has the same sound he has but it's familiar. He grabs his phone and turns of his alarm but, this isn't his phone, but he had one just like it. Roger sits up and looks around him, the impossible is happening. He is in his childhood room, but the house was torn down two years ago. He hears a racket from the hallway, his mom is shouting at someone. he hurries outside to see his mother on the floor, shaking, she turns at him and screams "What on earth is going on?!". Rogers father is coming out of the room "I don't mean to hurt you! I don't know how I got here either!"

Roger's heart is sinking, he has not seen his dad in 3 years, not since the day he passed away from heart failure. Roger loses all his strength in his feet and falls on his knees, staring at his father, unable to to breathe. Roger feel unwell and tries to refrain from puking, he asks to be excused as he hurries into the bathroom. he is standing there, staring into the mirror. He is no longer staring at the adult he was yesterday but rather the kid from 14 years ago. What about his girlfriend? is she ok? she must be in the same position he thought. But how would he contact her? how would she contact him? He worries more and more, he tries to calm down but he finds himself on the floor gasping for air during an panic attack.

Roger gets out of the bathroom and find his family by the dinner table. His dad Trond, his mom Wenche and his brother Roald. They are all having a coffee while staring blankly into the air. Roger sits down and pours himself a coffee, he finally musters up some courage before he says "dad, can we talk?" Trond nods but he is still processing what's going on. "dad, I missed you. I am very confused of what's going on but I am so happy that I can see you again" Trond looks very confused by this, what do you mean, he says confused. Roald jumps in "You died, how are you here?" Roger can tell his dad is shocked, he then asks him what his last memory was. His last memory was waking up, getting ready for work, pain and falling into the bed. Wenche turns on the tv and flips channels but there's only re-runs of American tv shows.

A program then gets interrupted by live broadcast from the tv station. the tv presenter starts explaining that we have gone back in time 14 years, but tells everyone to stay at home. The politicians have not decided yet what to or even who is prime minister anymore. He presented an interesting issue, if life continues like it is still 2024 the school institutions would have to shut down as most current students has graduated and it will take many years before high schools will get new students, so what should the teachers do? also, the students are already educated so it would be a wasted time for the students. unfortunately we should all stay home with our loved ones and wait for the politicians to figure it out, there will be a press conference tomorrow at 12:00 to answer these questions he announced. "By the way" he said calmly, "I have not been told to do this but personally I feel like anyone who at this time works in a hospital or will work in a hospital, fire department or police department should show up to work today, we are now disturbing time which, can end in catastrophe."

Roger started to stress out again he told his parents about his plans of proposing and how he must go back to china. Trond looks at Roger with sad eyes but keeps a serious tone. "does her parents still live in the same place?" Roger starts thinking and then realizes they moved 10 years ago and he doesn't know where they used to live, and finding their house would take a very long time. Trond convinces Roger to wait figuring this out because there will be allot more complications with this confusing event.

"for today, let's kick back and relax" He says, "I want to hang out with you more before you go to china". Roger feel very conflicted but agrees. When Roger moved to China he fought with his father a lot as Trond thought this was a stupidly ridiculous idea. But Roger heard during his funeral that he always regret fighting, "sure dad" he says. Then Roger has a thought, if the people who died 14 years ago is back, what about those born after? He hurries on the phone, he calls his childhood friend Sandra in a frenzy.

Sandra has a 7 year old daughter. The sad horrific truth is that people aren't always so nice to each other, people can be disgusting creatures at times. Sandra didn't get pregnant voluntarily, the unfortunate truth is she was raped. She lived for years in fear and her mental health was in a dark place. But while raising her daughter she got stronger, and she loved this little girl with all her heart. She was a supermom, doing anything she could for her daughter. she would always say that the worst day in her life created the most beautiful thing she ever had. Her daughter was everything to her. Sandra picks up the phone and Roger calls her name, but Sandra doesn't respond. Roger listens carefully, there's sobbing. "Roger, she is gone" Sandra weeps before hysterically crying.

To be continued.
