Introducing- Weekly Creative Writing #1 (Regret)

  Hello guys, and today is not the usual day for a post, but me and my sister have came up with something special for both of our blogs, a weekly essay for you guys to read, and we are doing this to improve our writing skills and creativity. Plus every week, we take turns to give a theme, and we write to that theme and we compare how different and creative we write after we are done. This week, I gave the theme "Regret", and it really just came out of nowhere so I didnt plan this out, but at the end I got a story! I hope you enjoy and after my sister is done, I will put the link for her blogpost down at the bottom. Enjoy!

Regret

  Quarter to twelve, another day to pass and flow. I couldn't have any more time to regret using what I've not done. All of my life, time flows faster than the strong currents in vast river, so fast that one day the river will run out of water, and so is time. 

  After resigning my job, life was back to a dry hot desert, lack of expectations, only the burning hot sun and the billions of sand piles. I wanted more meaning and more time to fulfill it, I was hungry for more hours, minutes and seconds. But one fine day, I was walking down a dark twisted alley, and I saw a sharp blinding light that caught to my attention. It was a golden pocket watch, it look pretty fancy and I looked for a name or a tag, but it belongs to anonymous. I opened the watch and saw that the time was going haywire, an infinite circle, and that the glass was shattered, which meant someone threw this. I tried to adjust the time, but suddenly a roaring storm came upon me, heavy raindrops were coming down, and I ran with complete shock and an eyebrow raising high.

  I got to a spot with shelter, and took a look at the golden pocket watch, and words actually appeared on the glass. It said that I was "Lucky Holder of Time and Space", I thought it was some kind of child's play. But suddenly 3 buttons pop out on the side of the watch, it said "Days, Months and Years". Immediately, words came out on the broken glass, and said that I was given 2 chances to keep or discard. So for the first chance, I choose to keep and try it.

  I pressed on the 3 buttons, and I adjust it to April 12 3006, which was my 18th birthday. And I appeared at the same place, but everything instantly changed. Everything was more vintage, old-fashion, the cars, the buildings and the people. It gave my extreme nostalgia and I tried to pinch my arm, but it just wouldn't wake me up. I ran to my home which was not far, and saw my parents, all young and getting ready for my party. I experienced the entire day through the window with my moist red eyes.

  This made me think that if I could go back to the past, I might be able to go further into the future. I tried to adjust the time, but words appeared once more. Your last chance to prove your faith, Keep or Discard. I was in such adrenaline and curiosity, it gave me no time to think, but to just leap. I entered a random date, September 25 3033. I was in the same place but everything was changed into a massive concrete jungle with extreme skyscrapers with advance technology. A group of armed policemen wearing heavy duty armor rushed to me, and told me to dispose any kind of unauthorized technology. I was really confused, and showed them the golden pocket watch, but it happens to be illegal and they chased me their weapons drawn. I ran again with all my might, and tried to change the time while I was at it. 

  The armed police force started to shoot at me, and I accidental trip and fall down a long staircase. My golden pocket watch was out of my hand, and fell continuously. But as the I fell on the hard ground with heavy bruises and pain, it became nightfall, and the policemen had vanished, it wasn't a big city anymore, but turned out to be wooden houses and a village, I grabbed my watch but a group of people found me. They were holding pitchforks and flamed sticks, like they were an angry mob. They were all yelling "Witchcraft, witchcraft, we found ourselves a witch!", I was looking behind and around me, but they were all looking at me. I quickly told them I was an ordinary man with a pocket watch, but watches don't seem to exist at that time. They snatched the watch and took a look at it, then smashed it onto the ground with their weapons. My face grew green and my heart pumped rapidly.

  I was grabbed and tied onto a stick, I yelled and demanded to let me have the watch back, but no one was hearing, I was yelling in my hearts full of corrupted flames, I couldn't have more time to regret what I've not done.
