Back To The Past... Again

I woke up, feeling the familiar, comfortable softness of my mattress as I looked around me.

I was back in my room, back in the frontier settlement. The walls were tent-like. It made sense, considering the fact that we were yet to build actual houses, at this point.

"I was transported to a few days after Lilith invaded. We're still in the process of increasing security and strengthening the fences…'

Rising from my bed, I put on my flip flops and proceeded out of the room.

"The roads haven't been tiled yet, and the expansion is still in progress. I see there's a lot that hasn't been done yet."

Comparing the image of what the settlement looked like in the future to its current state made me realize just how much progress we had made in the now-forgotten timeline.

'I had no choice, though…' Feeling the early morning breeze wash over me, I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply.

The morning air was so pure and fresh, incomparable to the stifling one I had to take in just moments ago.
