'Ok so what do I know' he thought whilst sketching a timeline on the back of the list. "I'm back in my 10 year old body. I've got 5 years left at the orphanage until I was kicked out then 13 months on the street followed by a 2 years working for the old man before starting out on his own path. Chasing after Sophie. 2 years later he and Jack created our company that ran ok for a few months until the new era begins when Dr. Schmidt creates a worm hole gate and opens us up to the rest of the universe which changed everything and coincidently made his space cargo freight company blossom.' As he sat there jotting down the main highlights of his life up to the new era, he decided to pause there and instead think about how he wanted to change his fate..
'Firstly no need to go to university or the military as I already know how to run a business and know how to survive. It's all going to be pointless anyway after the new era..
hmm..
'What I need the most is to earn as much money as possible before the beginning of the new era so I can invest in the right companies and set myself up nicely with the knowledge he can use of famous sporting matches and which companies made it big. With that starting capital and training I should have a good shot a become a successful worm hole explorer, which will later be known as an evolved.
This was his goal. It was the dream he and Sophie shared until he got tied down by responsibility and resentment.
To start this journey from a position where he strives for his dream and with the person he was always meant to be with all he had to prepare now was get in the best fitness he could and get some starting capital for his first 'investment' as his plan would take a few years to truest begin.
With his new lists playing in his mind he walked back to the orphanage carrying all the groceries and nick nacks from the chore list.
After getting back and eating he went straight to bed feeling happy to have been given this second shot by whoever found his ending so funny as to give him another chance. Though he did find it odd that he still had no clear idea of why he was given this chance he did by now feel certain it was real.
