Weekly Writing Prompt

It’s time for the writing prompt again! 🙂

I sung quietly along with the musical on my TV as I wiped down the counters of my kitchen. I paused when my cell phone vibrated in my pocket, and I pulled it out. The number displayed on the screen was… my own? I tapped answer, and put the phone to my ear.

“Hello?”

“Oh, thank goodness it worked!” An overly excited voice gasped. “Listen, this is Sawyer Coleman.”

I pulled the phone away from my head, staring at my number. I hit speaker. “This is Sawyer Coleman, and if this is some sort of joke, I’m not thrilled about you interrupting my musical.”

“Sawyer, I am you. From ten years in the future.” I dropped my phone onto the counter, where it buzzed as my own voice continued to come out of the speaker. “Listen, some things have happened, and it’s really important I warn you about them so you can be prepared.”

A look into my future? I wasn’t sure if I wanted to know, so I hesitated. What could I change if I knew? But what could I possible disrupt if I was aware of the life I was moving through in the next ten years?

Does Sawyer answer? Is it really her future self? Dare to finish it!

Till my pen meets the paper again,
