Unpublished Draft - 6/29/16

I don't remember the beginning, but I woke up in a big marble building that might have been a post office, but I thought it was the White House. I assumed I time traveled.

I ended up with a guy who claimed to be a prince and his sister, a princess.

When I asked what year it was, he said the date, but that the year didn't matter.

He told me had the codes when I asked if he knew of a theoretical physicist like Einstein or Tesla that I could speak to.

He kissed me and held my hand in the backseat, but his "sister" showed slight disapproval. I told him everything about myself--birthdays of family members, etc, trying to prove that I was from the future. I told him there was a lot about me that he didn't know, and I'm sure there was a lot about him, too, and that we should put all of our cards on the table.

He said they were getting tired "up there" of me always asking for help and when a mere "monkey" tries to climb the tree.

We ended up at a CVS. The interior looked old--like from before they remodeled them. Then outside, all the cars were from the 80s. The sister joked that it must be the 80s here. I then realized I hadn't time traveled when I saw a modern pick-up truck. Then a older white man (seemingly on crack, but that was just my judgement), came from behind the group of us walking (there were others, not just the prince and princess), and tried to rob specifically me. I grabbed my wallet before he could take it, and my phone dropped out of my pocket. I picked up the phone and told him I needed it and my wallet (my keys were in there, too). I told him I'd give him all the money in my wallet. I had probably $60 or something, but I only gave him a few bucks. The black ladies (maids?) on the second floor of the motel said "typical crackhead" or something, and I woke up. I think I was the crackhead. I don't think he was.

I'm sure this was a moral lesson, but I wonder if the prince meant it when he held my hand and kissed me, or if it was just all an act.
