Chapter 11: The Future- "A"

2037 AD


The world was fading back in and my eyes slowly focus on what I was seeing. I started to see a brick building, blue sky and straight ahead was a park. Could it be? Was I in a peaceful future? Has Judgment day been prevented? Or was I just kidding myself?

A couple of kids were passing by and they poked fun at me because I was nude from my travel through time. I cursed out loud. Embarrassed at my nakedness and tried to hide behind some trashcans. I looked up and I saw the magnificent Las Angeles skyscrapers. Judgment day hasn't happened! I'm in a peace future!

The kids started to call out to there mother, “Hey Mom look there is a naked guy in the alley. Come quick! He's hiding behind those trash cans over there.” as they pointed in my direction laughing and saying, “Eeeuuuuwww! He's naked mom. Look!”

I cursed out-loud again and began to run to find somewhere to hide and get out of here.

“What are you talking about Jackson?” said the mother slowly approaching from around the corner.

Running away to get my barrings so that the woman wouldn't see me nakedness. I started to head for my old house in hope that my stuff would be still there. But the likely hood of that happening was slim. But crud... What else was I going to do? I had no money, no job, no identity because I've been gone for 30 years and most importantly no clothes. So it was the only thing I could think of doing at the time.

Fortunately, I was able to sneak into my old house and get some clothes. To realize that my home didn't belong to me anymore just as I thought. So I tried to match up a pair of clothes that sort of fit and put them on as quickly and quietly as I could.

Hearing music playing in the background as I was dressing I went to the music that was playing. I found myself entering my old living room seeing a woman dancing ballet as I walked in. She was finishing her dance to a familiar piece of classical music. The woman was dressed in black tights and she looked up at me and stood there very quizzically shocked by what see was seeing. I stood in shock too, as I realized with tears in my eyes that it was...



“Cameron it's you! How did you survive all this time with out being destroyed by John?” I asked her confused and emotional by what I was seeing.

“What are you talking about? Who are you?” she replied confused by my question and shocked that somebody had gotten into the house.

“I don't understand. You mean... that... Your a real person?” I asked trying to reason with her and myself mentally. What happened when I was gone? I thought.

“Last time I checked... Yeah! And by the way how did you get in our house? I'm calling the cops!” she said in a threatening tone looking at me with a raptor glare as she started quickly for the phone.

Realizing that she was not a robot and that she didn't know me. I had to make a cover story real fast as I tried to stop her from calling the police as I cut in front of her where the phone was, “Um. No wait! I did use to live here! I swear! Don't call the police. Please!” I said trying to plead with her. This certainly wasn't working out to well. “I didn't know anybody lived here anymore. I came in from my old back door like my dad used to do as a teenager. Give me a chance to explain! Please!” I said knowing that it was probably the lamest cover story she may have ever heard of.

She frowned and hit me in the face with her forehead. I stumbled backwards as she then grabbed me by my arm. Twisted me around so that I was facing away from her and she kicked me in the back. I then fell to the floor. She said, “You used to live here twenty-nine years ago? You look like you just came out of high sch---”

“Do you know a John Connor... by any chance?” I moaned. “If you know him I can explain my entire situation.” I quickly and painfully asked, praying she would answer my question with a 'yes.' as I sat there on the floor with my arm and back sore. I started feeling a little dizzy.

She paused now, knowing something was not right at all, “Yes...He's my father. You know him?... Are you like his crazy friend or something?” she was obviously confused as she looked at my appearance because she now recognized the clothing as her father's. So she didn't know whether to call the cops, run, scream out for help or sock me in the face again.

“He is! We are old friends. Will he be home soon? Just give me a chance to explain this!” I asked trying to keep the situation calm as possible. But in reality this situation was totally insane on my part.

“If you are such old friends why is it that I never heard about you?...” She was trying to think of my name as I sat on the floor rubbing my head from the pain.

I then said, “David... My name is David McFly. I'm from the pa--”

A man walked in the door just as I was about to explain my situation and he looked fairly in his fifties wearing a suit without a tie. It was John Connor. But his face was sagging now from his advanced age. He stopped in his tracks as he saw me and looked me up and down like he just seen a ghost. “David?... Is that you?” he asked slowly trying to be sure of himself as he came up to me trying to help me up.

“Your plan worked! We prevented Skynet, John. You did it! I don't know how. But you did it!” I said to him very earnestly and excited despite my pain inflicted upon me from the girl who looked like Cameron. “By the way, what's up with Cameron? What happened to her?” as I gestured to the girl who looked like Cameron.

“Dad this guy just came in here and-”she said as she was interrupted.

“It's fine Hannah. He's just a friend who's had a very bad day.” John said to Cameron and then he went to the freezer and said to me, “David we need to talk... Sometimes you can be a little slow young man. By the way her name is not Cameron. It's Hannah... Hannah Loraine A. Connor, she's my daughter.”, said John earnestly with a smile trying to explain as he got me a sack of ice for my forehead.

“Hannah Loraine Connor?” I asked as I tried to put one and one together as I put the ice on my head. “But, how is it that the robot in the past looks exactly your daughter?” I asked as I felt nauseated from the hit on my head even more.

“Like I said. We need to talk.” said John smiling and shaking his head at me and Hannah.


Year's Later...


“So there's my story and I tell you to this day. I will never forget it and I hope my parents will never forget either. John prevented Skynet or did he really? Was it ever going to come in reality? I will never know. But John became a Jehovah's Witness with his family. While my parents Marty and Jennifer McFly got to live a peaceful life until they pasted away.

Derek and I became friends and Kyle never had to be sent back to protect Sarah Connor because the machines were never made. I only hope we can continue to still live in happiness without worrying about our future anymore.

I'll always remember what John Connor said, 'The future is not set. The future is whatever we make it.' and as you can see we've made the right choices. Huh,... It's funny how the rest of the world will never realize what I have gone through...” I said sincerely to my wife with tears of joy and happiness in my eyes.

“I don't know if I will ever understand your or my fathers past honey you keep telling me that story an-... But what matters now is that we have God and each other to get through anything. OK?... I love you no matter what happened to you in your past.” said Hannah who in a alternate future had been the template for a infiltrator named Cameron. My loving wife who is now smiling at me in reassurance as we eat at a restaurant, with her reassuring hand on my shoulder...

“... Huh...” I thought as I looked in Hannah's eyes and smiled warmly, “The world will truly never understand what I have done for mankind. Only my God Jehovah will completely understand what I have done...
