I opened my door, hearing the postman ring the doorbell and walk away. He had left a largish package on my doorstep, which was surprisingly light. I took it inside, shut the door, and opened the package. Inside was one of the oddest things. It was a textbook, like I had ordered, but at the same time it… wasn ’ t. I lifted it and, examining the “ textbook ”, I realized it was a type of tablet. It lit up at the touch of my fingertips, and glowed with the message *Hello. Welcome to History++, 2025 Edition. * 
 
 “ What the hell? ” I wondered. At the bottom of the screen sat a large flashing button. *Click me to begin your introduction tour! * I had no idea what was going on, if this was some sort of elaborate prank, or if something bigger was going on here. I read on. 
 
 *Welcome to History++. Here, you can find the most updated information on what ’ s going on, all over the world. Updated every five year, we get you the newest information to teach yourself. In the 2025 edition, we touch on the European Conflict, the succession of Texas, and the Hawaiian eruption. Most importantly, we focus on the rise of The Square, and their rise to power. * 
 
 “ The Square? What ’ s The Square? Texas succeeded? When was this? Did I miss it? Or has it even happened yet? ” I was starting to worry about this textbook. How much did it know? What year did it come from? I wasn ’ t sure if I should continue reading, but ignoring my better judgment, I read on.

 Hang on, 2024? That hasn ’ t even happened yet. How? ” I was worried about this by now. I wasn ’ t sure if I should keep reading. I almost turned it off, but my curiosity got the better of me, I clicked American Culture 2000 – 2024, I continued to read. 
 
 American Culture 2000 2024: The Plastic Age of America 
 
 
 During this time period, American culture has taken a deep dive for the worse, culture everyday coming up with new terms like “ WUMH ” ( What ’ s Up My Homie ), “ EUAC ” ( Eating Up A Cheeseburger ) and “ SITAS ” ( Should I Take Another Selfie ). The song “ # SELFIE ” rocked the nation in the years 2014 – 2015, making the band “ The Chainsmokers ” famous stars, who continued to put out new albums up to this day. Finally in this era of pop culture gone wild, famous star Miley Cyrus dies in an accident involving One Direction star Harry Styles who was also severely injured. 
 
 This was starting to get too weird. # SELFIE had just come out… how was it in this book too? Is this book actually from the future? ” I wondered to myself. It was time to close the book. Throw it away, burn it in a fire, it doesn ’ t really matter what I did, I just had to get rid of it. But first, I had to know: Do I become famous? There was a little bar in the top right corner of the book. I took this to be the search bar, and sure enough, clicking on it made a physical keyboard pop out of the side of the book. I typed in my name, Jacob Hensley, and hit go. It came up with the message: It seems you are trying to search up someone from the past. If so, please clarify their DoB and address below. I filled it in, and right there, shining on my screen, was my name. My address. My parent ’ s names. My birthday. And one more number, which I had a sneaking suspicion that I knew what it was. Hesitating for only a moment, I clicked on my name. It brought me to a page all about me, stating my hobbies, my grades, my profession, and at the very bottom of the page, my death date. March 28, 2014. 13:34:27. Jacob Hensley committed suicide by hanging, leaving the note: Watch out, Miley C. 
 
 It's not my best work, but I enjoyed writing it. Feel free to leave criticism/complaints.
