I spent a lot of time walking to classes in college. This was when I first experimented with time travel. The campus was large, the walks were long, monotonous, and occasionally wind-whipping cold. There was plenty of time to let my thoughts wander. I would often fantasize about instantaneously arriving at my destination.

So, I decided to start small and simply send messages to myself in a future state.
