[ WP ] You are brought forward in time by freedom fighters , in order to stop an evil dictator from taking over the world . When you ask why they chose you to help them , they explain that the dictator is your future self .

`` So this... this... this right now? This is the future?'' 
 
 `` Yes,'' said a woman. I understood her to be the leader of this group of people surrounding me. Guns slung over their shoulders. Clothes slightly tattered and dirty. They stood alert and sounded strong, but their weary eyes betrayed them. You could tell that they had been through a lot. 
 
 The woman, who someone referred to as Claire, started speaking again. 
 
 `` We brought back through the portal because we need your help. We have been fighting many years against the leader. He has taken control of the world. He is ruthless and evil. He has killed many people. Innocent people. Children. All in the name of cleansing. He believes he is cleansing the world. He thinks that we are the evil ones. We believe that you are the only one who can stop him.'' 
 
 `` Uh... I do n't even know what to say. How can I stop him? Why do you think I can stop him?'' 
 
 `` Because the leader is you.'' 
 
 My brain felt like it was going to explode. Not only had they brought me back to the future, but they brought me back to defeat an evil ruler -- me. 
 
 `` Please, take your time. We know this is a lot to process,'' Claire said. 
 
 `` We can leave you alone, if you want,'' a scrawny man chimed in. 
 
 I sat down in a nearby chair for a couple minutes while the group around me started mulling about. Every once in a while someone would glance at me like I was a ghost. They were looking through me like I was n't really there. Eventually I was able to start thinking clearly about my situation. 
 
 I stood up. `` Give me a gun.'' I saw smiles flash across a couple faces. The scrawny guy grabbed a gun off a table and handed it to me. 
 
 Claire smiled at me and said, `` Okay. You know yourself best and how we should approach this. Any suggestions are welcome. We figured we would head out towards his, I mean your, compound. It's about a day's journey. We can discuss details on the way.'' 
 
 I nodded. 
 
 `` If you do n't care, we could head out now. I know you're tired, but the sooner, the better.'' 
 
 I nodded again. 
 
 Everyone started heading out the door. Claire and I were the last two out. 
 
 She turned to look at me, and said, `` You ca n't imagine how relieved we are that you're...''. 
 
 I do n't know what she was going to say and I do n't care. I shot her straight in the head. As she was falling, I saw the rest of the group turn around. I reacted quickly. 
 
 I shot into the crowd of over a dozen. I was merciless. I heard screams. A couple lunged at me. As I made my way down the hallway, more men and women came. I picked up a gun off of a body and shot another couple rounds and people come at me. There was blood everywhere. I threw the gun down and ran. A couple of turns and I was out the door and ran for the tree line. I could see a couple people behind me, but I managed to lose them. Now that I am stuck in the future, I knew the only place safe for me was my compound. I knew me better than anyone, and I know why I am doing what I am doing.
