Dear Future Me Book Novels & Stories

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.

About Rick. Eli didn’t laugh. He didn’t interrupt. He just stared, wide-eyed, as if she were speaking in another language. When she finally fell silent, breathless, he whispered, “Ava… do you hear yourself? You’re saying… you’re saying you met you. From the future.” “Yes.” Her voice cracked. “I know it sounds insane. But it’s real. The letters are real.” Eli’s hands tightened on the chains of the swing. “Do you have them? The letters?”

"I think I was older." She opened it, eyes scanning the words silently. Then her smile faded. I leaned in. "What is it?" She read aloud, voice quiet: "Dear Future Me, If he ever comes back—the boy with the storm in his eyes and silence in his voice—don’t let him go. Even if they all say it’s wrong. Even if the world tries to stop you. Because some people only come once. And if you lose him again, you might never recover." She looked at me, eyes glassy.

They were evidence of a person who had existed before the storm, before the cage, before the long, desperate fight. She reached the bottom of the stack and found a single, unopened envelope. It was addressed to her, in a hand she recognized. Her own. It was dated the year after she left for university. She remembered writing it now—a letter to her future self, part of a project for a creative writing class. She opened it carefully, the paper brittle with age. Dear Maya, If you're reading this, you're older. Maybe wiser. Maybe not. I don't know what you'll be like, but I hope you're kind. I hope you're brave. I hope you didn't forget to be amazed by small things.

Snow poked his head out from the top of his new terrarium, his tiny crimson eyes darting around inquisitively, as if carefully surveying this pristine, magnificent new world. My phone vibrated once more in my palm. “See you tomorrow, Hill.” It was a collection of just a few brief words, yet a soft, uncontrollable smile tugged at the corners of my lips. What did the future hold for us? I couldn’t say for certain. But I knew with clarity that regardless of what came next, it would be a radiant, entirely unwritten future that belonged completely to me. (The End)

The look in his eyes was the same one he'd had when he confessed to me. A bouquet suddenly blocked my view. The guy holding it was way taller than me. "My name is Cole Clausen. Your future fiancé. Congrats on graduating." I smiled and took the flowers. "Want to take a picture?" The photo caught that exact moment. For the first time in forever, I posted. [Graduated. Going public. One like and we're getting married tomorrow.] Then I quietly liked it myself. *** Third-Person POV Joshua realized he'd forgotten to block Nellie from seeing his latest post.

"She loved chaos." "Same thing." --- The fifth book was published in the fall. The Shape of a Future, it was called. A meditation on building a life when the foundations have been laid by others. On finding your own voice in the chorus of ghosts. The reviews were quiet — not loud, but thoughtful. People recognized the honesty, the vulnerability, the refusal to pretend that the past was simple. This is not a sequel, one critic wrote. It's a prayer. For the ones who came before and the ones who will come after.

After moving to the city alone, I rented a small room near a movie theater and picked up a job there doing odd tasks. In my last life, I loved watching movies. But whenever I suggested going for one, Nathaniel was mostly against the idea. He'd scold me mercilessly, saying it was a complete waste of time. Now, it felt like I was making up for that regret. I practically threw myself into work every day. Before I knew it, half a year had gone by in the city. I'd gone from just another worker doing grunt work to a junior manager at the theater.

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.
