Meet Gerald

Initially, Gerald thought it would be too on the nose to have a big red button to start it.

But it had slowly grown on him. He wasn't sure if it would work, or fail.

He just new if it worked, he would have made history.

Or perhaps, as he thought more about it, he would have made a point in time.

A definitive point in time from when different paths may diverge.

In fact, staring at the big red button under the glass case,

he realised he hadn't really thought about the effects, or even where to visit.

He had been working on this for too long he eventually forgot what motivated him initially.

All that was left was the desire to prove those who laughed at him wrong.

He realised in that moment, he had even more questions than before.

One for example was, when.

When should he go to?

See, Gerald had designed and built the first time machine in human history.

But the mechanics that made it function only allowed him to go back in time, and return to the current time, or

the new current time created by his influence on the past.

So, when indeed.

See, the predicament he found himself in while trying to make this decision was that Gerald,

son of Akello and Oyoo was black.

So, when indeed.
