Her Name is That of a Bird
A Donnie Darko Fanfiction
Chapter 2: Till the End
This intent of this book is for it to be used as a simple and direct guide in a time of great danger.
I pray that this is merely a work of fiction.
If it is not, then I pray for you, the reader of this book.
Have you ever read a book that has changed your life?
Ask someone this question, and they may reply, "The Bible". For what reason? The Bible speaks of Heaven and God. The Philosophy of Time Travel speaks of our fate.
Throughout life, we are forced to make choices. Whether we must choose between vanilla or chocolate ice cream, or choose which child to save and which to send off to their death. Life is full of choices.
But what if our lives were already determined? What if everything that will ever happen was already set in stone and unchangeable? Would we really have a choice?
The decisions we make today can make drastic changes to the world tomorrow. But what would happen if what we did just didn't matter? What if Time would erase a part of itself and be done over again? What could be gained from something like that?
The Philosophy of Time Travel speaks of a Tangent Universe. An anomaly in the flow of time-space that must be corrected. Could Fate exist here? Time wears on until the Tangent is closed, and then it is repeated. However, it will not be the same. The Living Receiver, the one chosen to close the Tangent Universe, must die. And nothing could then be the same.
If we could go back in time, what kind of problems would we create? What about time paradoxes? If I were to go back in time and kill my grandfather before he had children, I would not be born. But then how would I have been able to go back and kill him in the first place? Would time alter itself so it could make sense? Or would everything just collapse?
Listen to the Sparrow. It is full of wisdom. The Sparrow tells of our Fates.
For it shall be there long after we are gone.
