Your Unfinished Future

The museum has finished with you for tonight.

You leave here carrying a day that was never yours to keep, quietly owing more than you agreed to spend, and amended in a record you were never shown.

The Civic Time Expansion Era expects you back. It is still holding a day with your name on it and no year to put it in.

Keep the ticket. None of these futures arrived, and one of them is now yours.
