In a quiet, weathered diner where time seems to slow and memories hang in the air like steam from a chipped coffee mug, college student Noah sits alone-until a man enters and disrupts the very fabric of his reality. The man is older, weary, strangely familiar-and claims to be Noah's future self.
What begins as a cryptic conversation over cold tea unravels into a haunting psychological journey through time, fate, and identity. As past and future versions of Noah converge in a single, looping timeline, the young man is forced to confront the decisions that will define him, the traumas that shaped him, and the illusion of choice in a world governed by causality.
Part philosophy, part psychological exploration, A Treatise on Time is a taut, cerebral novella that ponders the nature of memory, personal transformation, and what it means to become someone you already were. With shades of Dark, The End of Eternity, and Camus' L'Étranger, this story asks:
If you met the man you'll become, would you listen? And if you did, could it change anything at all?
