And then, you reach the future.The year 2089 has indeed changed a lot. Every where, you can see sky-scrapers, flying cars - it is just beggars description. It appears that the future has definitely evolved. You begin to hope that time travel research has evolved, too, because you have a problem. The time machine is broken, and you don't know what to do. You crashed in a place which looks like an artificial woods, but it looks rather deserted. So you hide the machine, and begin to explore the future. After all, you do need to find a research centre to fix the time machine.

And next....The future was so amazing that you couldn't help but stare! It was.... awesome! You reached a building, a huge laboratory, and it stood right where it had in the past. You were just about to enter when two men walked over, and ran away with your belongings. You had been given a card to prove that you were from the past, and the men had pocketed that as well. You needed that to get into the building! So you chased the two men. They were fast, but you desperately need that!
Read one of the following:
• Read a book where someone steals something.
• Read a book with the word 'Thief' in the title
OK... A book where someone steals something. This was a great book... Financial data was stolen (and so much more!)
(2/16/2017)
And Next....You chased the thieves, but it was just a matter of time before they vanished into thin air. You looked around - all lost in an unknown period. A police station? Well, you decided to try your luck there, but of course, as expected, they thought you were crazy blabbering about coming from the past, and eventually kicked you out of there. You were walking with no hope left when you saw a newspaper stacked near a lamppost. Some things just don't change. Newspapers still exist even in the future. You caught it, and began to read it to get some information. That was when you saw the jobs page. There were so many different jobs: the cafe was hiring, a printing company as well, along with one special place - a company that takes on job requests sent by common people to earn money - The Ivory Towers
You decided to apply for this job, mainly because it did not require any particular qualifications or specialization. Besides, it would be easier to convince the members there since from the looks of it, it had not many members. You quickly go to the place.
Read one of the following:
• Read a book where the protagonist is unemployed, or looking for a job
• Read a book where the protagonist works part time
