You are not missing from your time line. You are a second you. There is still a you where you've just come from." Add some more crazy to the crazy. "But some are working on creating portals and things. Sometimes some just open. So, there is a chance you can step through but not forever. These things don't last forever." This was the point where she pulled out her phone again. "Sorry, I've quickly got to answer these." With that she typed another round of answers to the people she was talking to.
