Cheryl enabled ‘The Device’ to ‘meet her Creator.’


    A blindingly brilliant portal of shimmering light particles opened as if emerging from Heaven.


    “Is anyone there?” she asked.


    “Yes.”


    “Who are you?”


    “As you expected, I’m your Creator.”


    “Where are you from?”


    “Beyond your present, your past, and your future.”

    “So, you’re a time traveler?”


    “Not in the same sense that you are thinking of. It is you who are traversing through time.”


    “I’m a time traveler?” Cheryl gasped.


    “In a sense, but in the direction of my choosing.”


    “Can I go back or forward in time?”


    “Not from where you are. You lack the reference points.”


    “What do you mean by reference points?”


    “You’re moving within a dynamic universe in multiple directions at once: spinning, orbiting, and drifting planets, solar systems, galaxies, galaxy clusters, superclusters, the cosmic web, and so forth as spacetime itself expands. It would be incalculable for you to determine the endpoints.”


    “So, how do you do it?”


    “I simply use my other creations in the multiverse as reference points.”


    “Okay … So, my other question, are you Jesus, Buddha, Socrates, or …?”


    “You’ll have to forgive my cosplaying friends for those and others. They enjoy roleplaying in simulated playgrounds.”
