Flow- preface

Please don't forget, and please read this again, I know you already have but it's important.

Yes, I know. You've read this before. So maybe you won't again because you don't think it's interesting anymore. If you remember then you're doing better than we thought but if you don't then things must be a lot worse.

There's not much we know yet, but we have been able to figure a few things out. First things first, you are stuck in a time machine. You were part of the team that helped make history's first. You were the one who figured out that you cannot actually travel time, but can actually project your consciousness into yourself in different timelines. The movies were all bullshit, you figured out that when you travel, you can only stay for a certain amount of time. Not because you'll "change the future" or "mess with the timeline" but because since you are projecting your consciousness, you're actually merging with yourself from that point and can only remember who you truly are for a certain amount of time, before it's too late.

I know you've had all the side effects. Memories that you think you had, that never actually happened. What they call "Deja vu" in the time you went to. Your real memories are still there but are hidden somewhere in your mind, and your body is still here with us.

We try and talk to you and play things to you in hopes that it will snap you out of it and you'll be able to find your way back but it's not working. We know you've heard your name being called and realizing nobody did, that was us, we know you've heard things and seen things, dreamed things.

Forgetting why you walked into a room, feeling like you don't belong and that nothings real, those are the moments of clarity of your true self from hearing the things we play for you. For a moment you forget the timeline you're in and remember who you really are. You have all these hidden memories of the things from your real life and you have all these fake memories intertwined that we aren't even sure if you are you anymore. It's all fragmented and by this point, you might feel like you've lived a lifetime in that timeline, but thinking back it's fuzzy, isn't it? Like living a life you don't remember living.

There is a reason why we need you back SOON.

The time guardians.

They were created the moment you left. We don't know what they are, but we think it's nature trying to correct itself, with you being somewhere you should not be.

They don't like you being there and we are getting close to going back to get you, and they don't want us there either.

The secret is sight. I know you've noticed that too, when you're in a crowd and feel like everyone is staring at you it's because they are. When you're not directly looking at them, they're looking at you. The massive crowds of people all looking at you at the same time from your peripherals are real. They stare every moment you're not looking, waiting for you to completely forget and accept your new role in that time line. Sometimes when you close your eyes you see their true face. The feeling of someone or something looking at you, the monsters you see while you shampoo your hair or run to bed or feel their stares when you're alone aren't your imagination, and they're all trying to get you. That absolute anxiety of someone looking at you in your most vulnerable moments.

The reason we play things and tell you things while you're stuck is to anchor you. You need to keep your mind distracted so you don't see them and don't forget who you are. It started off as Nightmares, then anxiety, then when you close your eyes for too long, eventually it will be every time you can't see, and by then it will be too late. You are not who you think you are.

But don't worry, we are coming. We don't know what time you're in, but we are coming. We sent a message through the machine and every time line should receive it. There is a bit of a problem though. We don't know if you'll get the message in a day, a month, years or decades, but you will get it before that time line is up, and it's very important you keep a lookout for our signal. We have tried in the past I'm sure you've seen those "wake up you're in a coma" or "you're in a dream and we are trying to wake you up" messages, feelings, that was us as well. All we can do is send things and hope you receive them while we can make it to you or that you snap out of it before they get you.

We are coming for you friend and one day you will be back where you belong. With your real friend and family and your real memories. Until then, never forget these three things.

Always keep a lookout for the signal. It is very important it is not missed to get you back home.

Nothing is real. You are not you and it's not your life or your memories, no matter how vividly you remember, it never happened.

Most importantly, Don't close your eyes
