"The war was getting worse, but the jokes were getting better." - Tymbrimi vs. human war of 20,200AD

Mine was Earth.

And so I began my journey to Earth - there was probably not much time.

Not long ago, after it had been discovered how to reach the other worlds, this initiative had become our primary motivation.

To use dangerous, but fast and powerful machines we expanded our reach imensely. The entire galaxy was now ours, and we had many emmesarries en-route to many locations.

In the universe where I had stepped-out in front of it.

Without thinking, I plucked the small piece of foil from within the Fridge Pak(tm) container. I was just about to toss it in the rubbish bin when I thought: 

Why am I making this action?

could I cause something bad by doing this?

might my wife wish this smallish bit of metal to have been left in there?

was i in fact setting forth some action, or perhaps...

I thought back a few years earlier when I had nearly been killed stepping off a curb, by a bus. A nice woman , and sensible, warned me a few moments before I went.

It wasn't that close of a call, I guess. When you look back at it though, the fear of seeing that big thing fly by me made me feel as though I had diverged that day.
