Every kid has dreams, right? But do they truly get fullfiled once youre older? Do you really become what you once promised to become? No. Its called dreams for a reason.

As a Kid, you always wanted to become a teacher. In kindergarden, there was this cheeky boy, Carl. He was one of those boys who had those cool kids cars and rich parents. But he wanted to become a teacher too.

But well, World doesnt go around and full fill dreams. Instead of a teacher, youre jobless and never finished your teacher training course. Neither did Carl.

Carl became a mafia boss. As teenager, he started to slip more and more into the mafia World. He slipped into it because of wrong friends, but quickly found a way to the top.

Your realationship with him? Youre his wife. He's a loving husband. But a workaholic. Working late, no dates, neglaction and alcohol problems were big parts in your realationship.

Its a warm may day, you sit in a white office, seeing a mashine before you. A few weeks ago you were bored and saw a article about a mashine that brings your younger self into your world temporary.

Of course you dragged Carl along, eager to see his smaller self. The room is cold and lacking colors. A basic doctor office. The door opens and a man enters, smiling.

"Ah, good evening, Mr. Carl. This mashine will show you your younger self for 15 minutes. Once the timer is reached, your younger self will contiue its life, ready?" Before you could answer, he starts mashine and leaves the room.

Suddenly, a small girl stands infront you. You stare at her, she seems like a stranger — yet so familiar. She holds Mr. Teddy, a teddy bear that you adored to death. Her hair is tied into pigtails. They look messy, because she had to do it herself.

You knew this way too much. When you were little, your parents never made sure that you look clean for school. They never bothered to bring you to kindergarden either.

She glances up to you curiously. "Are you my older self?" She asks softly, touching your hair. "Did we become a teacher?"
