Dear diary,

Year 3251, the earth on the brink of destruction, 95% of the animals and plants extinct, The people of the world survived with artificial plants. However it cannot replace the positive effects the animals brought. And now, on the brink of collapse, 10% of what's left of humanity made the decision that will save the earth.

The time machine was created more than 250 years ago, however, the leading scientist behind the creation announced that once it is used, the changes will cause the 'death' of the present. The theory behind is that time travel creates a whole new world and destroys the last to keep the balance of the universe. When one goes back in time to stop an accident from happening, the mindset and changes to the mind when it happened and after will reset in the current time, which, means loss of permanent memory for the whole world, which some refer to death of the present and the reset of the past. Thus leading to the government destroying the machine and the files of it.

However with the the earth in its current state, many decided to reset the past before the start of the new era causing the extinction of the other lifeforms of earth and started petitions and riots. And finally the government of the cities accepted the proposal and made the R.P.S.F also known as resetting the past and saving the future. Filled with top geniuses from the world to recreate the time machine and send a team of people to the past where it all happened to warn the public of the world's current state

My father is the current leading scientist and they had finally finished building the time machine within the span of 1 month.

And I? I am part of the team in the group. No actually, I'm the leader which is quite a feat for my age. Though no matter how much of a feat that is, it's going to disappear along with the time that had passed.

I stared out of the car window, the artificial plants, the empty streets, is this really the end of the world? No one wants go go out today, maybe because today is our end.

"Archana, Archana! We have reached! Do not let your mind wander! This is the redemption of humanity"

We have reached? Ah I see, I was too distracted to notice. Grabbing onto my father's outstretched hand, I stood up "Father, let's go"

Ah today is it.... Why did this world come to be? Why did all the lifeforms die? Why? Why? Was it because of greed? Was it worth it? Is the riches, the material items we own now worth all this? Was. It? Was it so hard to live with the other lifeforms? Why did we have to dominate the world? What benefit did it bring us? All these wealth, does it save our future? I don't understand, why? Why do I not understand? Why can't I understand?

"Archana! Are you okay? "

What? Ah there's a warm substance running down my legs, ah is that blood? Why am I kneeling down? What's going on? Why is my hands trembling? What is this feeling? My heart is beating so fast.

"You are afraid, you feel fear"

Who is that? What's that voice? Who are you?

"It is simply because you are human, you feel fear knowing the end is near"

No what is fear? I know not of fear, what is that? No my hands, they can't stop shaking, stop! stop! I need to save this! Stop! I need to stand up.

"Father...help me"

No don't look at me with those eyes! I can do it, I will do it! But I need to stop shaking. Father please help me, what is fear?

"Sir, we are late, the project is starting soon"

"Yes yes I know, my child is a failure, get plan B..."

What are they talking about? I cant hear them, why? Why are you carrying me to the opposite direction? Where are we going? The lab is in the other way, no I need to go...

Ah, my bed is so soft, I sit on my bed, finishing my diary, my last entry. So, the world is disappearing around me, it looks so cool, was that moment of luxury worth it? That material happiness? Couldn't we just enjoy what we have? No, I am also greedy, that makes me 'human' it is like how I do not want to die now.

Help me father I don't want to di-
