Time travel

Dear Steven,

Have you ever wanted to travel through time? I bet you have. I know I have. When would you go to? I have always wanted to go back to … ahem … that day. You know the one I’m talking about. If I could change that one day, maybe a lot of the other things that have happened in my life wouldn’t have happened. Who’s to say? Anyway, I can’t travel back in time. I don’t know how to. But, I have come up with a time machine that will let you travel into the future. Well, not any point in the future. It will only let you travel within your own lifetime. But, still, that’s pretty cool, right? I’m calling it the Disconbobulator. No, wait, my name’s not Bob. New name: the DisconKevinulator!! Oh yeah! It’s pretty simple to use. It looks very much like a standard stopwatch. (It’s not though!) You decide how far into the future you want to go, press start, and the DisconKevinulator takes you there. Say, for example, I want to go an hour into the future. I press start, and in exactly one hour, I have gone an hour into the future! I’m a genius! I am definitely getting the Nobel prize for this one. So far, I haven’t tested it on anything longer than a week, but it worked. I wanted to see what I was doing a week on Saturday. I pressed start, watched the little numbers whizz around, and there I was, one week on Saturday! This is an incredible invention. I will send you yours as soon as I can.

Your friend,

Kevin.
