The First Day Of Gordon Lightfoot's Life

“Gordon you got Alzheimer’s? Take these cuffs off of me.”
The Ranger looked at his young supervisor and said," I can’t have you stopping me."
“What are you talking about”?
“See I was the person who originally brought Cole Elijah to the Anomaly on White Mountain all those years ago.”
“Man what are you babbling about?” asked the Prisoner-Supervisor.
“It seems like i went to get a smoke and thirty years went by. There are so many things I wish I would have done with my life. I could have written a book, traveled to Europe and seen the grave of my father at Normandy, and most of all I could have asked for her love. I’m not babbling, in 27 years I have fallen deeply in love with Lisa Elijah, and I cannot wait one more day.”
“Calm down Gordon and uncuff me.”
“See you don’t understand, I dont want to be laying in my grave saying she might have loved me. Today I am going to the Anomaly and tell her the truth, she just might love me. It is 2 oclock on the 10,122nd day of the Anomaly and the 1st day of my life.”
