Someone parked their TARDIS in front of my house (not that there's
anything /wrong/ with that). They left its blue door unlocked and
cracked open. They obviously wanted me to take a joyride in it.
A short trip to future seemed safest. Because any messes made can be
easily undone when you return to the present.
My plan was simplicity itself. Set the TARDIS for a short jaunt one
year into the future, take a look around the inside of my future house,
and then return to the present...
The front door of my house one year into the future still opened and
allowed me access to the living room. Everything looked about the same,
except for the copy of _A Rambling Wreck Update_ (Schantz), which sat on
the coffee table. It began with a great opening line:
It was Angus McGuffin's last day on earth, but he didn't realize it
until too late.
