The Late Night Thinker

A Story by MatthewE
"

Brain not shutting down at night.

"
Time... past, present, future. Now that I think about it I've never experienced the present. Does it even exist? Is there such a thing as a moment in time? Because every action in time has a measured existence all the information I experience is a picture of the past by the time my mentality processes it. From my eyes to my brain, from my fingers to my brain, from my toes to my brain... Fudgesickles I've been living in the past...
Does the meaning of time even exist in reality or is it a virtual existence in my brain? Thinking of time as a measure of action, or a cosmic reality. Naw that doesn't make sense. Common go to sleep.... If all the cherries and cherry trees in the world disappeared would cherries be real? What if all the people that knew about cherries died and all the records disappeared? Would they be real then? Hmm. So in the same way if there's nothing, no energy, no action, does time disappear? Hey but then the present could exist. It would just be like an absence of time. 
What about the past and the future though? If those theory guys are right and everything traveling at different speeds is in different time then wouldn't the past and future be overlapping? Ugh think happy thoughts. Cheeseburger, cheeseburger, past, present, future. Darn IT! Omg my body is totally screwy. Doesn't the fact that stuff moves in my body at different speeds mean I'm like totally in the past and the future? I'm a time traveling wizard! I don't even have to think about it I just do it. 
So how do I control the future? Um I should probably figure out what it is first. Future, that sounds like something set, something in stone. Maybe the future is a point in something's existence when its actions can no longer be changed by chaos. So like if I tossed my pillow up the moment it was going to hit my face and I couldn't grab it anymore or a meteor impact it would be its future in time? I'm going to toss it up. Toss, gotcha. Ha I just changed time. Changed time...
