Dear Robin,

You claim to be a historian. Oh yeah? Tell me about 2177 or 3592 AD? You can’t? That’s what I thought.

PO Box 159 at the Brooksdale Post Office is a bit unusual. Every week, it receives letters from many different people from many different times in the future. Many times, the letters are well-wishes and advice from the loved ones of people of our time. Other times, there are dire warnings.

No one seems to know how or why these letters started coming to PO Box 159. They simply appear. The future these letters describe seems to be in constant flux; one day the year 2098 sounds like a dystopian hellscape, the next day a letter will appear describing a garden of Eden.

Dear Dr. McGuire,

I have tried to be an ethical eater all of my life. I have only consumed ethically-grown, low-water utilization, organic, local vegan crops for the last three decades of my life. I had no idea just how sentient these plants were. When you get your plant-to-human language translator working, please send them our most sincere apologies. You know, before they decide to get their revenge.

Dear Eliza,

Don’t worry about feeling unseen. The Almighty Algorithm sees all and sees you.

Dear Kirk,

No need to worry about the message from Friday Kirk! It was Tuesday after all. Your apologies were premature. As was the future. Or was it? Who can really say? Maybe it’s best to just be contrite just in case.

Dear Kirk,

You thought it was Tuesday. You could have sworn it was Tuesday. You were wrong. And you will pay. Beg for forgiveness.

Dear Diane,

If you really want to run the International Rocket Ship Conference, you should. Just know, I am going to hack the event and it’s going to be a disaster. I’m not sorry I did it, but sorry you got caught up in it. You seem nice.

Dear Issac,

Your father will pass away in approximately four years of natural causes. Make of that what you will.

I’m very sorry for our loss,

Future you

Dear Mikayla,

Invite Justine to your sweet sixteen party. In fifty years, she’s going to decide who she’s going to give a “friends and family” discount on jetpacks, and trust me, you want in on that deal.

Thanks!

Sweet-66-year-old you
