Daryl was an aficionado of the classics and always wanted to meet his favorite artists.

He often wondered: ‘What if they had modern technology at their disposal?’

He visited young versions of Beethoven, Mozart, Monet, and Van Goh late at night—appearing as an otherworldly apparition to show them holographic neural reading instruments from his future time—hoping they’d forget the experience as a mere childhood dream.

They all instantly took a liking to the new creative technology and produced a masterful work overnight.

Daryl returned to the present to show his findings to his friend Fred—the time machine’s co-inventor:

“Listen to this, Fred. It’s an original neural-synthesized masterpiece by Mozart.”

“Who?”

“Mozart … You’re kidding me. You do know who Mozart is, right?”

“No, Daryl, are you sure you visited our universe? Remember, we hypothesized a multiverse jump.”

“Okay, but how about this fantastic 5D digital construct by Monet?”

“Never heard of him, or her …” said Fred.

“I don’t get it … Let me search … Huh? Each one died by suicide … It’s right here. All the ones I visited. But why …?”

“Hey, Daryl, check this out—a few of them had reported to their families of having a fantastic vision and thought an angel had visited them. They were so upset the spirit left them without its ‘divine gifts’, historians believe they killed themselves to join it in the afterlife.”
