All I wanted to do was go back, go back and change what I did. I sat there on the front porch of my house, cop lights flashing all over the neighborhood. My bloody family members being carried out, me the only one living. There was many reasons why I had killed them. As I sat there in front of the detective I decided that i'd tell the truth, I had nothing else to lose. “Start from the beginning Hadley” she said. “I was walking home from the high school football game when I saw a little girl. I knew she was too little to be walking home alone so I took her by the hand and walked across the street back into the woods across from the school. It's a shortcut to my house so I decided to take it, as I reached the other end of the woods I heard voices calling for someone on the other end. That's when I realized there was no turning back. I grabbed her running across the street as fast as I could. As I was running I tripped on a crack in the road and fell. The little girl breaking my fall, she was unresponsive and had a gash on her head. I picked her up and ran to the nearest park and made it look like she got hurt playing. I knew she was dead and I didn't know how it had happened, it was an accident, I ran home in shock. I got inside and there was a little stain of blood on my shirt and hand, my family looked at me in shock and asked what had happened. I ran up the stairs knowing they would find out it was me and tell on me. I didn't leave my room until 1:23 am, I then went downstairs and grabbed a kitchen knife. I started with my parents, and after that I had no problem killing my brother and sister. After I realized what I had just done I began stabbing myself in the stomach and called the police. I was taken to the hospital and when they arrived for questioning I lied and told them that I didn't know what happened. I said a guy came in killed my family and ran the other way. Then they took me into custody, now i'm sitting here in front of you.” The detective didn't say anything, but took many notes on a notepad. I was then taken out of the room and put in a different room by myself. In the corner was a bed, I layed down for several hours not being able to sleep. I prayed and prayed that there would be a miracle, that somehow this would all just turn into a dream, I wished I could fix everything I had ever done wrong in life, then I fell asleep. I woke up the next morning, but I was not in the bed I had fallen asleep in. I was in my own. I went downstairs to see my brother and sister fighting over the remote, and my mom cooking bacon and my dad making coffee. At that moment I realized time had went back, I was now reliving the day I killed my whole family and the innocent girl I had found helplessly trying to find her parents. I didn't know what to do so I left extra early for school. Even though I had left early I had got there the same exact time I did yesterday when the incident happened. This was all very weird and I didn't know why it was happening. I went on about my day, everything happening exactly how it had before. It was time, it was 10 pm and I was standing across the street from the little girl I had once kidnapped. I walked across the street with my heart pounding. I grabbed her hand and started walking then I stopped dead center in the middle of the road and turned around. I walked the little girl up to the entrance and stood there with her, I told her I would wait there with her. As a worried couple walked up and hugged her they said thank you that she had ran off in the mix of a big crowd of people. I smiled and ran home still in disbelief. As I walked in my family was watching a movie. I ate dinner and then went to sleep, I woke up the next morning relieved that I was in my own bed. But as I walked downstairs everything had felt like it had already happened, I knew it couldn't of been the day of the murder because my dad was already gone and my sister and brother weren't fighting. I went outside to find my dog tearing everything in the yard up. I then realized this was the day before the murder. I walked backwards through my life reliving the moments I had already experienced. I went through day by day not saying anything not doing anything just living, for many many years this happened. I was sitting in bed and it came to my realization that my wish had come true. That night in the room with the strange bed I had wished to fix everything I had done wrong in life. I went to bed not excited for the next day knowing that it would be a day I already lived. I woke up and went down stairs but this time it was different. This day had never happened before, it was a new day. After six years I would finally have a day that I did not know what was going to happen. I went through the day smiling, helping and even greeting people that I once did not get along with. I got home that night and hugged my family. I went to my room and began to fall asleep. That's when I woke up in a room laying on a white lab table. There was wires attached to me and bright lights shining. I started to panic not knowing where I was. The detective I had told my story to was standing beside me. She began to tell me I was part of a series of testing to see if one's life decisions could simply change. If I passed the test I would be set free and my life would change forever. If I didn't my life would remain the same and I would be found guilty for the murder of 5 people. Luckily I passed the test, I had lived six years of my life redoing mistakes I had made before over the period of seven weeks. Everything that had happened in my dream of my life had turned into real life. I was changed and my world was changed. I could finally go home and see my family outside of my dreams, or so I thought.
