Fate
By ErikaHK
According to Rodney, there were an infinite number of alternate universes, one for each choice in our lives.
John sometimes wondered what he would be if he had made different choices. If he had had different lives, different bifurcations, different paths to follow.
He could look at those choices now.
But it was also a dangerous tool. One that could lure a person in like a moth to fire.
If you looked too hard, if you looked for too long, you could get lost in all those lives you could have had and forget to go back to your own reality.
Where would he be if he hadn't gone to the Air Force? Where would he be if he had been discharged instead of transferred? What if he had never been in that helicopter in Antarctica? Or if he had never sat down in the chair? If he had said yes instead of no, if he had stayed instead of running, if he had given up instead of going on...
One could get lost in a machine like this.
John raised his P90.
And fired.
No one else would be lost to it.
The End
