User of the Menology Corporeal Time Travel mechanism. And what I mean by user, I mean the MeCoTiT is as addictive as any of the drugs you hear about throughout history.
Just like drugs, the MeCoTiT has its side effects on the body too!
"Every transport ages the body an extra day," the Big Heads say.
It's like when people used to smoke those cancer sticks and the Surgeon General would tell the public that each cigarette smoked takes away a day of your life.
Back then people would only live to be fifty, sixty, maybe eighty years old and they still puffed away.
I'm the same with the MeCoTiT. Losing one day of my future seemed little to me with the thrill of traveling through time when I started out.
What the Big Heads don't tell you is, the damage to your body is compounded.
A Noobie will start out traveling through time, not feeling a thing. His body may have lost a minute of its life expectancy on the first go, but the traveling back in time has already grabbed him or her by the synapses and endorphins.
It's like this.
You go back in time, stay awhile, and then come back to the date you started from. That's two minutes gone, off of your life.
Nothing right?
Think about the old legend of Krishna playing chess with the King of India. Krishna beats the King and for his reward asks for one grain of rice be placed on the first square of the chessboard. Doubling the amount of rice on each subsequent squares.
One square, one grain of rice. Second square, two grains of rice. By the time you reach the fortieth square, you have one billion grains of rice.
So if you count traveling in time one way, as a square on the chessboard, well, you see what I mean. The damage to your physical being is devastating if you keep on transporting.
Once you start though, the body, the mind, and the soul needs it fix, again and again. Or, the mental withdrawals alone feels like it will kill you.
Another thing, when you first start out, is most people are afraid to eat the food of eras gone by. They see livestock and vegetables slaughtered or picked live and then processed with chemicals to look fresh for years. People, of different time periods ate this stuff.
Our Big Heads can't or won't figure out why our petri-dish grown food rots away when traveling back in time. Or, when you bring back samples of food from the past, it's all gamy.
I believe your innards get messed up the same way over time. That's why you age so fast after using the MeCoTiT multiple times.
You just don't notice it until you get further down the chessboard.
What got me into trouble was the money thing.
Replicating the currency with the right kind of paper and the hidden markings is easy. Just don't go back farther in time than the date you printed on the bills. The locals look at that as counterfeiting.
Each MeCoTiT has its own fail safe system built in of returning to its original departure date and time. In case the user gets injured or losses the device.
Mine is about ready to go off any minute now. If my Jailer is still holding onto it when it does, won't he get a big surprise.
Well, my fate is set. The Police took away my MeCoTiT and I'm just gonna have to get used to living in the 21st Century from now on. As a Counterfeiter, with a record.
