Possible short story or novel idea
Hello I haven’t ever written and I’m more just writing out my thoughts but I thought about this story idea and just wanted some other opinions on it.
A man discovers a way to time travel and heads to the future because he wants to see what historians say of his generation. He discovers this and studies it happily in this future for years until he is satisfied that he understands. However he begins to worry about being left in the past while things move forth around him and he longs to know what humans might learn centuries later. Because of this he leaves his new life behind to travel another century and repeat the same process.
He does this so he can feel as though he is escaping the confines of time. In reality he fears death and runs as fast as he can into immortality in any way he can. Yet he must accept in the end that the world will inevitably move on without him and he will never know the future as long as he lives.
-I don’t know if he’s gonna be chill with that or have a huge breakdown about it
So please if anyone sees this send a gal a comment or two on what you think:)
