I am Noah. I still remember the day I stumbled upon that peculiar book in the dusty, forgotten corner of the university library—a place where only the curious or the mad lingered. I was, perhaps, a mix of both. The book had no title on its spine, only a worn symbol that resembled a set of overlapping circles—a design I’d come to recognize as the mark of the “Creationalists,†those ancient thinkers who believed that reality could be reshaped by manipulating its essence.
As I skimmed the pages, one passage gripped my mind: “Every object holds potential in its particles. What we see is but a shadow of what it can be.” The words sparked something inside me, an urge to test the boundaries of reality itself. I decided then and there that I would put this theory to the test, to transform an object with my own hands. But what object would I create? I wanted something…impossible.
A device described in whispers—a “communicator†from a time far beyond mine, a device that could speak across vast distances without wires or codes. It was unheard of in 1928, and that was exactly why I wanted it.
The Creation of the Chrono-Resonator
For weeks, I read every obscure text on vibrations, electromagnetism, and resonance, staying up until dawn while my fellow researchers slept, blissfully unaware of the universe’s hidden truths. I sketched out a machine that would bridge two realities, not by transporting matter but by resonating with an object’s latent potential—a Chrono-Resonator.
Building it was no easy task. I scoured junkyards, piecing together anything that could amplify and channel energy. The device itself was strange—like a coiled maze of copper and wire, with small crystal nodes that I’d painstakingly sourced. I imagined it could somehow “tune in†to the future’s vibrations, aligning the atoms of a wooden block to the possibilities of tomorrow.
After endless adjustments, sleepless nights, and what I can only describe as an unhealthy level of obsession, the machine was ready.
The Experiment
I selected a small block of wood—simple, nondescript, and ordinary. I placed it within the Chrono-Resonator’s field and began adjusting the dials to a frequency I believed corresponded to “potential reality.†According to the book, every object held a unique “chrono-signature,†a sort of cosmic fingerprint that marked what it could one day become. I focused on the vision of the communicator—a device from a world yet to be seen.
With each dial twist, the room pulsed with a faint blue glow. My heart pounded as the hum of the Chrono-Resonator filled the air, vibrating through my bones. The air felt thick, charged, as if reality itself held its breath. And then…it happened.
The block of wood shimmered. I felt a strange warmth in my chest, something almost divine in its wonder. The block’s surface rippled, as though it were clay in the hands of an invisible sculptor. In moments, the wood transformed, taking on smooth edges and gleaming surfaces, evolving right before my eyes into a sleek, rectangular device. I marveled at the buttons and the screen, its glassy surface so foreign to me. It was both familiar and alien, an object from beyond my era—a communicator, just as I had imagined.
The Awakening
Trembling, I picked it up. It was lightweight, almost fragile, with a cool surface that felt like polished metal. I stared at the blank screen, unsure of what to do. But as I pressed a button on its side, the device blinked to life, displaying a series of symbols and colors that made no sense to me. Yet, as I touched the glass, it shifted, almost as if it was responding to my thoughts, waiting for me to command it.
My heart raced as I found myself speaking into it, almost instinctively. “Can you hear me?†I whispered, and my voice echoed back, tinny but clear, as if I were speaking to myself across some invisible bridge.
Was this really happening? The book’s teachings on creationalism had somehow breathed life into this strange communicator. It was as if I had unlocked a portal, not to another time, but to a new form of existence for an otherwise unremarkable piece of wood.
The Revelation
Days passed, and I kept the device hidden, experimenting with its capabilities in secret. I soon realized that it was not just a simple communication device—it could play sounds, capture images, and store information, all from my single command. I had made a communicator from the future with no more than my bare hands, the Chrono-Resonator, and the will to shape reality itself.
Word of my success began to leak through the university, and they called me mad, accused me of hoaxes. But I had no need to prove myself to them. I had gazed into the essence of potential, and in that moment, I had held tomorrow in my hands.
Epilogue
The Chrono-Resonator was dismantled after pressure from the university, and my work on creationalism was buried under bureaucracy and disbelief. Yet I am not deterred. I keep the communicator close, hidden from prying eyes. Someday, the world will understand that I created it not through alchemy or time travel, but by unlocking the infinite potential within all things.
In the silence of my study, the device remains as a testament to what we might one day become. It is not just a communicator, after all. It is a message—proof that the future is always within reach, waiting for those brave enough to shape it.
But before I die, I need to convey my findings to someone I trust, and it will be extremely tough to find a person like that!
