It was an anonymous caller, who strangely knew everything about the young physicist. She also told Sarah about the black box and how she had used it to rewrite the past, only to make things worse. “In the end, what matters is your actions in the present. What you choose to do now will carve your tomorrow,” the woman told Sarah.
The mystery caller had concern in her voice as if her life depended on Sarah, who the other hand was listening to the anxious woman quietly. Finally, Sarah asked her, “Are you me from the future?” After a brief pause, the woman hung up.
Suddenly, the alarm rang in its full glory. Sarah woke up with the sunlight falling on her face through the window. She sat on her bed, thinking about the black box and the woman. Unlike the past few days, Sarah felt empowered, like she could achieve anything. “Just focus on the present, rest will unfold on its own,” Sarah reaffirmed, as she got up to go for a run along the shore.
