    I'm convinced this is going to be some sort of horror movie scenario where I walk into the voting place and play out the exact same events as 2020.

    The same people say the same things to me, and I respond with familiar words. Déjà vu intensifies as I check my calendar. It is 2024, right? No, it's 2020. Wait, 2016?

    My mind races.

    "Vote for Biden to save America!" Libs on the left and right shout. I begin to run.

    "Do you want Trump to win?" they jeer. I stumble, but regain my footing.

    "Vote blue," I hear. "Vote blue, vote blue, VOTE BLUE!" It's a chant at this point. A cult-like choir that fills the recesses of my brain. I make it to the double doors and push them open.

    Biden is there.

    He smiles. "None of this Malarky, Jack," he says, pressing a syringe to my neck. My consciousness begins to fade. The last thing I feel is some teenage staffer sticking an "I Voted!" sticker to my shirt as the world fades to darkness.
