    <3 says: Hello, I got your request for me to add you tom buddy list, and I was wondering how you are and how you got my messenger screen name?
    I Less Than Three Justin says: My name is Laura and I really don't know where I got your screen name, I just added it.
    <3 says: Oh, Okay. Well then tell me more about yourself.
    I Less Than Three Justin says: What do you want to know?
    <3 says: Justin is my fiancée, we have been together since we met in 2011.
    2011 Laura thought. What did that mean; it's only2008. Maybe it was just a typo.
    I Less Than Three Justin says: We met over the internet sometime in 2007. We talked over the phone, MSN, and texts.
    <3 says: Awe, That is so sweet. I talk to someone named Justin also He is pretty cool, he's like the butter to my toast. I want to meet him so bad. He's incredibly sweet.
    I Less Than Three Justin says: That is the way I feel about my Justin now. My love grows every moment I am with him and he never ceases to amazes me.
    I Less Than Three Justin says: Oh, I never finished answering your question. Well it is 2019 now, so we have been together for 8 years and I do hope for the rest of our lives.
    <3 says: Don't you mean 2008? You said 2011 the first time and 2019 the second time. I thought they might be typos.
    I Less Than Three Justin says: No, I mean 20019. It is the year now, aren't you living in 2019 too?
    <3 says: No, it's only 2008 here. What did you say your name was again?
    I Less Than Three Justin says: My name is Laura and I believe we never switched pleasantries.
    <3 says: Yes, we did, butI believe I never gave you my name. My name is Lauradonna, but I go by Laura.
    I Less Than Three Justin says: Oh my, My. I shouldn't be talking to you.
    <3 says: Why shouldn't you??
    I Less Than Three Justin says: I believe I am you from the future.
    <3 says: THE FUTURE!!! What do you mean?
    Laura was so confused about what she had just bee told by well, herself. Laura thought to herself. I guess anything can be possible. After a few seconds she returned to the computer and continued to talk to "Laura".
    I Less Than Three Justin says: Are you there?
    I Less Than Three Justin says: Hello, are you there? Where have you gone.
    Laura from the future typed rapidly trying to get the attention of Laura, as she feared something had happened to Laura.
    <3 says: Sorry, I am right here. I had to take some time to soak up everything that has happened. Well it is 2:45 in the morning and I am tuckered out. Can we continue this talk some time in the - Laura hesitated - future? Perhaps tomorrow? I want to learn everything.
    I Less Than Three Justin says: I cannot tell you unless you promise never to whisper a word to anyone. Just message me any time you would like and I will talk.
    <3 says: Good night, sweet dreams.
    I Less Than Three Justin says: Sweet dreams & good night
    Laura logged out of Window Live Messenger, and tried to get some rest. It seemed that it was impossible. It was 5 am when she finally got some sleep.
    The alarm clock rung at exactly 6:30 am, as Laura hit the snooze as she did every morning. She Finally got out of bed and went through her almost daily routines.

    <3 says: Hello, are you there?
    I Less than Three Justin says: Yes, I am always here.
    <3 says: Tell me about the future.
    I Less Than Three Justin says: We have no use for gasoline now, all our power is hydroelectric, thanks to President Obama. We do not forest nearly as much, we only forest to make toilet paper. Everything in school is computer based. The Ozone Layer is repairing itself, and global warming is a thing of the past.
    <3 says: wow, that sure is a lot of change.
    I Less Than Three Justin says: Well, that is just scratching the surface. The American people wanted change and they sure got ot.
    We have no dependency on oil. Also, the use of pesticides have been banned, making the American people much healthier. The war on terror was ended in the latter part of 2009. We helped rebuild the towns and cities we destroyed.
    <3 says: That sound great. gay rights? Economy? Debt?
    I Less Than Three Justin says: The Gay Rights Act states: Equality for homosexuals no matter male or female. Gays, bisexuals, and lesbians are allowed to get married without interference. We have no national debt, nor does any single individuals.
    We peacefully trade with all countries except Russia
    <3 says: That sounds amazing. Who is the president now?
    I Less Than Three Justin says: Obama was re-elected again in promise he would end the dispute with Russia. His term ends in 2021.
    <3 says: Very amazing! Can you tell me about my life?
    I Less Than Three Justin says: No, I have already indulged to much to you. I can tell you these things:
    * Don't give up on yourself.
    You went through a very dark period.
    * Don't stop believing in love.
    You have it already, he just hasn't realized it.
    * When you think all hope is lost remember is quote
    " The beautiful are never desolate,
    but someone always loves them"
    -Bailey
    * Remember God or the powers that be never give you more than you can carry.
    <3 says: Thank you. Can you tell me anymore?
    <3 says: Are you there?
    I Less Than Three Justin says: H E P
    Conversation Terminated

    Seeing "Laura" log off gave here the feeling that something was wrong. Why did she log off? What did the letters H E P mean. Could it be HELP? What was Laura going to do next?
