“The world
will know that free men stood against a tyrant, that few stood
against many, and before this battle was over, even a god-king can
bleed.”

Today I went out to dinner with family, a big dinner it was, as it
was the extended family and not just immediate. Loved the time and
ordered the same food as another family member who had ordered a
spicy dish. He had good tastes as I enjoyed the flavorsplosion.
Anyway onto the flash fiction!
“Please someone, kill me, before its too late,” asked Tom to all
who would listen.
The Request
A clever man named Tom was born. Well, he wasn't clever yet, he was
just a baby. But he soon grew up and even skipped a few grades with a
smile on his face. He knew his genius, though he still remained a
kind and charismatic man, so he didn't get bullied as some of the
gifted may be.
In College he got grants for his research. He got results and
eventually he would get money with almost no question. Universities
and institutions just wanted him researching there for the
recognition. Where he went money flowed. He made tech, physics
discoveries, and so much more.
Eventually though he made his ultimate discovery: Time travel.
However when he revealed it to the world the powers that be exploited
it immediately. Tom praised his foresight when he concealed its
potential and only showed them part of his discoveries and the
ability to travel forward in limited bursts instead of backward. The
way they abused it...they caused immense damage. He decided he needed
to stop it all before they interrogated him for more information.
Since he couldn't bring himself to do it Tom went back in time
before the tale of his life began and sent a request for someone to
kill him. He hoped that would stop things from coming into motion.
