Don't ask me how I know, but ~~I think~~ the people who are missing will come back eventually. ~~At least, one of them~~ I don't know when.

	I don't know. Maybe. Do you know anything about that kind of thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Where I'm from, it's more or less mundane enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay. Let's start at the beginning. What do you know about this island? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Samir ourmutualfriend 2013-01-16 03:17 pm UTC (link)
	This island? Unless it's got anything to do with the Dharma Initiative- nothing, other than people have gone missing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Desmond night_song 2013-01-16 03:21 pm UTC (link)
	~~Ah. Yeah.~~ This island has vampires. Werewolves. People like you ~~and me~~. Normal humans ~~are begging to get underrated~~. From all ages, all times, all cultures. If I could travel through time, I'd sure as hell wouldn't end up here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My life used to make so much sense. How did they all get here? But what if you couldn't control it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mine never did and this place is still weird to me. Most of the people were on a train or boat before coming here. What happens to you exactly? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm used to weird places, but this is a whole new level.

I was on another island.

It's hard to say exactly. I did something a while ago, it caused- not an explosion, more an implosion, but I didn't die. I went back in time, I relived a day of my life, like my life flashing before my eyes but it was a full day. Then I woke up, and I hadn't died, but the flashes never stopped, except now- now, I go forwards. I see things that haven't happened yet. And I know that makes me sound crazy, but considering what you've just told me, I'm going to guess that logic isn't really an issue around here.

It's just flashes, it's not a full picture. I can't control it, there's no real pattern to it.

Except- there's someone- I keep seeing him dying. I keep stopping it, but- it's more like I'm just delaying it. The universe keeps trying to fix what I've changed. He's here, he's miraculously not dead. I've not seen any more about him since, but I don't necessarily think that means he's safe now.

Who are you?

	Let's just hope that the universe doesn't catch on. My name's Samir. Samir Marcus. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If this is some kind of other dimension, maybe it won't. Samir. Thanks for the information, brother- even if it is kinda hard to process it all right now. I'm Desmond Hume. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's a long explanation, but I think it is. Another dimension. Nice to meet you. And if you're ever hungry and Maryanne's place isn't open, my cousin's always cooking these days. We're in 1704. (Reply to this) (Parent)
