I ' d been to hundreds of dimensions . In almost every single one , I ' ve seen the alternate versions of people I know . Teachers , friends , actors , politicians , but never have I seen myself . The first time I moved to another dimension , I didn ' t know what was happening . I woke up and everything seemed off . Nothing major , just small things like the sky was the wrong color blue , the grass seemed almost too green , and the roads were slighty wider than I remembered . I ended up getting thrown in a mental hospital when I tried to go to work that day . Nobody knew who I was and I started screaming . In hindsight its almost funny , but it was terrifying when I realized people really didn ' t know who I was . It happened a few more times than , I ' d like to admit before I figured out what was going on . It took a while after that for me to get the hang of interdemensional travel , but I did it . It had been three years since my first jump before I first went home . I decided to not see my family , when I realized that no one would believe where I had been all this time . So I decided to keep moving on . At first , I though it was just a coincidence . I knew that I couldn ' t exist in every dimension . The more I traveled to , the more nervous I got . Hundreds of dimensions and I was the only thing that wasn ' t in them . But I kept on . I decided that I would search the multiverse until I found myself or I found out why I was the anomaly . As I searched for myself throughout the multiverse , I discovered that I didn ' t age . It was a sudden realization , because I hadn ' t looked in a mirror for years . I was hiking though the Rockies , when I found this beautiful pond . This dimension was interesting , because humans had always cared about their planet here . Climate change had never happened , so when I happened upon this pond it was surronded by thousands of flowers . Some that I ' m sure had been extinct on other dimensions for years . I looked around at the flowers blues , reds yellows , and a patch of flowers that were a deep purple the likes of which I had never seen before . I casually wondered if anyone had ever stumbled across this slice of paradise before . I gazed down at the pond and saw my reflection shimmering off of the silverblue water . I couldn ' t believe it . In almost twenty years I hadn ' t aged a day . My beard had gotten a bit unruly , but my face was the same it had been on my first jump . I didn ' t age . How was that possible ? Did this have something to do with my absence from other dimensions ? I traveled to every dimension I could and read everything I could get my hands on about aging , immortality , and other dimensions . In the next twenty years , I became more knoledgable about those subjects than anyone , but it all seemed to be a dead end . Nothing came remotely close to helping my understand . Then it happened . The dimension I was visiting , was the first to have commercial flights to the moon . Realizing it was one of the few things I hadn ' t done yet , I decided to go . The flight was shorter than I expected , but still just a flight . Once I arrived on the moon though , I was shocked for the first time in twenty years . The shear beauty of it earth from the moon was incredible . And standing there on the moon in my spacesuit is where I first saw her . You aren ' t from around here are you ? She asked . The suits don ' t fit any body well , but when I looked at her I knew she was gorgeous . Her bright purple eyes looked like they could pierce through steel , yet the fact that I had never seen purple eyes before . As I gazed into her eyes , an old memory flashed through my mind . A memory of a beautiful place . What ? I asked . Of course not . Im just a kid from Michigan . Thats not what I meant and you know it . I ' m not sure I follow , I said confused . Surely she couldn ' t know the truth , but I made sure to play it up . I think you ' ve got me confused with someone else . Nope , you aren ' t from this dimension , she said with a playful tone . I can tell . You look at everything like an outsider . Lile someone who is just observing . How old are you ? A hundred ? Older ? Hhow do you know that ? ! I asked incredulously . Because I ' m one too , she replied so calm that I knew she was telling the truth . And so I told her the story of how I discovered my powers . We spent all night staring at the Earth from our little spot on the moon , talking about our lives . Her name was Venessa , she had been a London socialite before she jumped . It took her twenty years to figure out she wasn ' t crazy , but was dimension hopping . She was over three hundred years old . I wasn ' t the first traveller she had met , but that it was rare . She told me how most people loose their minds completely after their first jump . She had twice thought to settle down with someone , but when you don ' t age , they freak out . The more she told me , the more questions I had . But I knew the one I had to ask . Venessa , have you ever found an alternate version of yourself ? I asked abrupty . Ah you haven ' t figured it out yet . Don ' t worry , I only learned the truth about fifty years ago . We aren ' t supposed to exist . We are anomalies in the multiverse . Some people think its evolution , but our DNA is human . Some think god put us here , but I just don ' t buy it . I think that we are like glitches . We can travel dimensions , because we have no destiny . We aren ' t supposed to be there so not being there changes nothing . We ARE observers . Tourists in the realities of regular people . Ssso that means there is nothing for me ? I am doomed to never age and just travel through dimensions for eternity ? I asked half furious and half terrified . You are looking at it wrong . Our purpose is to appreciate the universe . To see it in all of its possible realities . We have the ultimate gift . We can experience every beauty of the universe . Enjoy it . She said with a level of seriousness I had not seen in her yet . Bbut I could have spent time with my family . I could have had a noNo you couldn ' t ! You don ' t age ! After that first jump , it stops . You are an accident . Your purpose is to be . To live . Not to dream and work . You can ' t have kids . I mean it . It doesnt happen , because we aren ' t supposed to be here . I tried to settle down and have a normal family , it doesn ' t work . You can ' t take them with you ! You can ' t keep dodging why you don ' t age ! She said almost screaming , with tears in her purple eyes . I realized she was right . When you don ' t age , theres no reason to be depressed . Just keep moving on . Keep filling your time with new adventures . Never stop to think about what could have been . Somehow I knew she was right . I thought back to when I decided to not go home . I remembered how I had never gone back to even see how my parents had fared . It was better this way and I knew it . I looked up at her , took her hand , and asked , How would you like to see the most beautiful pond in the multiverse ? I think I ' d like that , she said with a smile and then we were off . Hey sorry about the formatting , im on mobile . This is my first time writing something for here and my first time really writing in years . Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it .
