Challenge
Challenge of the Week XXXIX
You took your smartphone and moved back to 1984. For the sake of the plot, your phone works perfectly, but a condition of your year-long relocation in time is no one can see it, or know about it. You are to report back to 2023 the contrasts: With people, music, overall humanity, anything. Send texts, pics, videos, undetected. The elite group with whom you work has cracked the code of time travel and intervention, and while the race to colonize Mars rages on, your group has decided to instead go back to 1984 to reset the world, so to speak. Before that power leaves a seamless, yet indelible mark on the future, the group has to decide if it's for the better, or to go ahead and let it all run the course it's on, and start looking skyward for continuation. Make it funny, make it deep, make it dark, make it yours. Entry with the most likes takes the $25 wire. Go.
1984-2023
Home is where your heart is,
Not where you lay your head,
Save me from the madness ’tis,
The world has so much ahead,
Travel with me back in time,
See what hidden treasures survive,
To solve the puzzle is what’s prime,
You work and work and really strive,
I click away and hide and seek,
No one knows but you and me,
A picture here so you can peak,
Time has come to set things free,
Weather tragedy or beauty to come,
Open your eyes and let it be,
You don’t have to be sad or glum,
The sun still shines and tomorrow we try for 2023.
