Was upon a time a tiny man who could escape time. The narrowness of his body and his short stature allowed him to move with impressive speed, thus being able to sneak into the almost imperceptible holes in the temporal line.
When the present time tried to reach it, the diminutive man, in a pum pin, took a leap into the idealized past.
No matter how idealized the past was, sometimes it was boring because everything was already written, and he could only suppress some details. For his part, the future was tempting because he could do whatever he wanted, without any restrictions.
Pan pum and he was in the future.
What the man did not know is that, like him, the future was escapist.
Pin pum and the future was present and so the man lived his life fleeing towards an increasingly distant horizon.
In his last jump, man fled to the future and the future became the past.
pum pum.
