I came here from 2046. It's comforting to use one of these computers again. I remember them from when I was a child. Computers 31 years from now are terribly drab. Sorry, I'm getting off topic. My name is Cathrine. Cathrine Faye Johnson, to be exact. I was born in the year 2000, and I am part of the first group in my future to "perfect" time travel. I put that in quotes as we had not worked out how to move
forwards in time at the time of me volunteering to use the machine. Since I am stuck here, I may as well tell you the events that occurred up to my departure. I am not sure whether me posting this, or even typing this, will change anything in the future, but I must tell of my timeline.
