I'm almost ready to go out when there's a knock at the door. I open it and am appalled to see myself swaying slightly on the front step. &quot;What the bloody hell do you think you're doing here? You're drunk aren't you?&quot; I knew it was pointless, being angry at myself, I'd promised I wasn't going to use the time machine to get extra sleep tonight, a promise I now knew I was going to break. &quot;Hello mate! Fancy seeing me here, I would've waited until I'd gone out but you lost our keys.&quot; He said to me, god I'm an idiot when I'm drunk, no one should have to see themselves like this. &quot;Look just come in and go to bed, I'll get some water for you, I don't want to wake up tomorrow with a hangover.&quot; As I get the water I make sure I'm not going to lose my keys by putting them on a hook in the kitchen, after all, I know I won't need them. I get back into the lounge to see myself asleep on the sofa, dribbling over the cushions. No one should ever have to see themselves like this. 2008-01-30T02:28:10Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/17317 <p>Have you read <em>The Time Traveler&#8217;s Wife</em>? If not, do so.
