A man appeared through a brilliant flash of light.
“Good evening, Daryl.”
“You’re … you’re me?”
“Yes, Daryl, but obviously quite older. I don’t have much time. Take these instructions. Follow them. You’ll become excessively wealthy.”
“Why …?”
“Trust me, Daryl. Stop pursuing that doctorate in astronomy, go off-grid, raise a family, buy yourself an island with absolutely no communication with the outside world!”
“How come?”
“The future’s imperfect, Daryl. Be happy. Do as I suggest …”
Daryl with his family lived in total seclusion on a private island, in a self-sustaining paradise, blissfully unaware of the killer asteroid’s arrival.
