Camina Hacia El Futuro Novels & Stories

I reverted back to the question, “why did you change?” Jade stood up, her eyes filled with confidence in the unfaltering truth that she had to say. “ I saw things, Carmen.” Jade smirked. “The future was laid bare before me, at that point, I knew what I had to do for my dream to finally be achieved?” “Future?” I sneered. Talk about one of the things I don't trust at all. The future was the biggest lie of the century, there was no future without a definite past leading up to it.

Then I owed it to myself to stop asking what could have been. Tomorrow would come soon enough. And when it did... I would meet it as Ena Garden. Not as someone running away from the past. But as someone finally learning how to walk toward her future.

Whether we were ready… Or not. And without another word, we moved. Toward the door. Toward whatever waited beyond it. Toward a future neither of us could predict. But one we could no longer avoid.

I lifted my head, looked at Ed, looked at this beautiful, vibrant city, looked at the dazzling future stretching out before me. "Come on," I said, taking Ed's hand. "Let's go home." This time, my life was mine to live.

Through the space. Through everything. And it reminds me— I’m not alone. Not completely. Not yet. I focus. On the threads. On the path that’s forming. On the place where everything can shift. And I take the next step. Not into the void. Not into nothing. But into something that has never existed before. A future— That hasn’t been decided yet.

“Don’t be afraid to dream big. The world needs passionate individuals like you who are willing to take risks and make a difference.” Inspired by Richard’s words, Alex began to formulate a long-term vision for Future Forward. He envisioned a hub for students—a place where they could learn, grow, and support one another. His journey had just begun, and he was ready to embrace the challenges ahead with determination and a commitment to service.

Before that, he had carried me on his back across two blocks and vowed to stay by my side as long as we lived. I'd once believed we would be together forever. But Gianna gradually stole his tenderness and ground away his patience toward me. In the end, the very man who once fought with everything he had to protect me forgot the one thing he should never have forgotten about me. I closed my eyes, and the desperate video call from the future came to my mind again. There I was in the basement, hollow-eyed and in despair, begging myself to run. I often found myself wondering what would've happened to me if I hadn't left back then and just kept walking the path I was on.

There's no use regretting things," he finished with a sigh. "Callum." Callum looked up into my eyes. It felt like this was the first time he had ever paid full attention to me while I was talking to him. "There's no reset button in life. The only direction we can move is forward." I could see the pain that appeared in his eyes very briefly. He then lowered his head and said nothing more. It didn't matter if it was himself or myself. There was no looking back, so we could only continue marching forward.

--- And as the last connection to the outside world vanished— As the system entered its darkest state— As everything they had built disappeared into nothing but potential— One final truth emerged: --- Sometimes saving the future… --- Means being willing to shut down the present.

I feel the weight of his stare, but I don’t flinch. The past is behind me, and as I move forward, the future is mine to claim. I don’t look back again.
