7.19.25: Europa Trip
The rover returned from Europa with something unexpected: a binary pulse. Not random. Repeating. Earth’s top minds decoded it into a simple phrase: “YOU LEFT US.” The world panicked. Who was “us”? Had we colonized Europa and forgotten? Some blamed timeline corruption. Others said it was us... in the future. A guilt loop sent back through time. Governments buried the signal. But the code evolved. Phones glitched. Screens flickered. The message spread. I saw it on my microwave this morning. “YOU LEFT US.” I don’t know who they are. But I think they’re getting closer.
