Untitled Shared at Aug 27, 2021 John Cena New Jersey

He wasn't sure what to write about that day. And it was getting late. So he thought about breaking his streak. Then he realized it was too late. Somebody was reading this and that meant he had posted. 

Damn. Again! 

A poor piece of writing had slipped through his brain and his fingertips, leaked onto the keyboard and had ended up on a server somewhere in 
New Jersey
... and now somebody... across the country... across the ocean was reading it. Mildly laughing to themselves. Thinking, 'what a poor sucker. that guy never had a chance. Never had a chance to break the streak. This is quite meta."

He wrote to his congresswoman. "Please let me go back in time. I would like you to invest resources into a time machine."

"What would you like to go back in time and do?"

"I'd like to not have written on the 26th of August, 2021."

"Well that's a very valid concern, but you know that we need to balance the needs of all constituents. We need to solve our issues through innovation and collaboration." 

The guy sighed, distraught. Then a tap on his shoulder charged him with a jolt.

"I heard you were looking to turn back time?"

He didn't even have time to say, why yes.

"My name's 
John Cena
. I think you should come with me. There's a man you should meet."
