Okay, I've tried writing a fanfic before, but it didn't turn out too well- probably because most of it got lost, but anyhow … I'm going to try this again, and see if it's any better this time. But it's a different story, the other one sucked. It's going to jump from flashbacks to now, each chapter a different one. Flashbacks are in italics and present day is in normal text. I'll stop babbling and let you read my story now!
Franz Hopper looked up from the computer screen. He had been working on this project for years, and now it seemed it was finally finished. The last adjustments had just been perfected. Now only if he could test it…
He got up from his chair and closed down all the programs, then took the old freight elevator downstairs. How could he test his theory? He couldn't go himself, because he was the only one who knew how to work the programs. All his employees had left, after his computer industry had bankrupted and been forced to close down. Now he lived alone in the Hermitage with his daughter…
His daughter! That was it. But did he dare risk it? She would be perfect to test the knew program…but which was more important, science or his family? His daughter was the only family he had left…but if this program worked, they would be millionaires! He could start his computer business again, move to a proper home- rebuild their lives. As he walked through the deserted town, he thought of all he could do for his child, if only he took a small risk. Perhaps he would remarry, and she could have a mother-! The possibilities were endless.
That decided it. As he walked up the path to the Hermitage, he knew he would try anything to make his little girl happy. Unlocking the door, he called up, "I'm home! Come down and say hello, Aelita!"
Dundunduh! I know this is very short, but flashbacks tend to be that way. The present day chapters will be longer, I promise. Next chapter coming very soon!
