[ WP ] A man invents time travel in order to find a cure for his sick wife and succeeds , only to find out he ca n't go back

The first time I jumped, I immediately looked up the latest medical journals. 
 
 They had certainly made significant progress, but it was n't enough. 
 
 
 I did n't even take a look around before I jumped again. 
 
 
 I checked, again. 
 
 
 Success. The cure had been found. It was in clinical trials and was being fast-tracked. Six months, only six months left. 
 
 I drove like a madman to the hospital. 
 
 Transferred? What do you mean transferred? 
 
 I PAID THE BILLS FOR 9 MONTHS BEFORE I LEFT!!! 
 
 
 15 months ago... Oh god. Over a year. 
 
 
 I found her. I barely recognized her, except her voice. That angelic voice that kept me going. 
 
 It was difficult explaining where I'd been. I was gone for so long. She did n't understand, she was just happy to see me. 
 
 Then the doctor came in. He pulled me aside. 
 
 No. 
 
 NO! 
 
 1 month, at best. 
 
 NO! NO! NO! NO! 
 
 I started to run out of the room, but she could tell. She did n't know what I was doing, but she knew I would n't be back. She pleaded, and it tore my heart apart, but I was doing it for her. When I was done, we could spend the rest of our lives together. 
 
 I left, I jumped, I landed. I ran to the pharmacy, prescription in hand. 
 The doctor had been confused when I asked for it. Probably thought it was a reaction to his prognosis. 
 
 A line. There was a line at the pharmacy. It took everything I had not to scream. 
 But then I remembered, I had all the time in the world. 
 
 Drug in hand, I dialed in the date of her diagnosis. 
 
 I entered the code and pressed enter. 
 
 ERROR: Abort, Retry, Fail? 
 
 What happened next rendered the machine useless... 
 
 Now! I had to get to her now! I had to cure her right now. 
 
 I stole a car, I do n't know whose it was, I could n't even tell you what kind or color it was. 
 
 At some point the police started chasing me. I outran them. 
 
 At the entrance, security tried to stop me, I outran them. 
 
 When they told me, my guilt and denial rushed to me at once, I could n't outrun it. 
 
 I just wanted to spend the rest of my life with her, so I left. 
 
 She just wanted to spend the rest of her life with me, so she asked me to stay.
