Everyone Is Living Their Future Except Me
On 17th July 2042, at exactly 6:12 AM, the entire world woke up screaming.
Some cried in joy.
Some cried in fear.
Some sat silently, staring at nothing.
Because every human being on Earth had just received something impossible.
A memory.
Not from yesterday.
Not from childhood.
But from ten years into the future.
They remembered their future jobs.
They remembered who they married.
They remembered where they lived.
They remembered the exact moment they became successful.
They remembered their biggest mistakes.
Some even remembered how they would die.
Students remembered the exact questions that would appear in their future exams.
Businessmen remembered which stocks would skyrocket.
Politicians remembered the wars that were going to happen.
Doctors remembered the cures that would be discovered.
The world changed in a single morning.
Except for one person.
Ayaan Verma woke up at 6:12 AM like everyone else.
But there was nothing in his head.
No future job.
No future house.
No future partner.
No future success.
No future death.
It was as if he did not exist ten years later.
At first, he thought he was lucky.
Until he saw what happened next.
Within days, toppers began solving exam papers before they were even printed.
Small shop owners invested in companies that became global giants.
Ordinary students launched startups that became billion-dollar corporations.
People avoided accidents they clearly remembered would happen to them.
A man stepped back from crossing the road seconds before a truck ran over the spot he would have been standing on.
A girl broke up with her boyfriend because she remembered he would betray her in three years.
A politician withdrew from an election he would have lost and instead joined the party that would win in the future.
Everyone began living carefully, precisely, perfectly.
Because they already knew what would happen.
Except Ayaan.
He failed an exam because he studied the wrong chapters.
He got rejected from a job interview because another candidate already knew every question that would be asked.
He nearly died in a staircase accident that others easily avoided because they remembered it happening.
It was like living in a world where everyone had cheat codes except him.
Then, one night, something impossible happened.
In the future memories of millions of people, a famous entrepreneur named Raghav Malhotra was supposed to die in a car accident on 3rd August 2042.
It was talked about everywhere.
People even avoided taking that road because they remembered the crash causing a massive fire.
But when 3rd August arrived, nothing happened.
Raghav Malhotra did not die.
The accident never occurred.
The future had changed.
And Ayaan was the only one who did not remember the original version of it.
That was when he noticed another strange thing.
A few people around him had the same confused expression he had seen in the mirror on 17th July.
They also remembered nothing.
They were called Futureless.
The media labelled them as defective minds.
Some called them cursed.
Within weeks, reports began emerging.
Futureless individuals were somehow able to notice when events did not match what others remembered.
They could feel the change.
Like a glitch in reality.
Ayaan's ability appeared for the first time when he saw his classmate Kavya trip over a loose tile in the corridor.
Three seconds before it happened, he suddenly saw an image in his mind.
Kavya falling.
Blood on the floor.
Students screaming.
Without thinking, he grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
She did not fall.
Later, she told him that in her future memory, that fall had broken her wrist.
That was when Ayaan realized something terrifying.
Futureless people did not receive the future.
They were capable of changing it.
Every time he altered an event that someone else clearly remembered happening, he felt a sharp pulse in his chest.
Soon, numbers began appearing in his vision.
Probability Points.
Time Energy.
Future Vision Slots.
By focusing, he could now see brief fragments of someone else's remembered future.
He could watch it like a simulation.
Five seconds.
Ten seconds.
Sometimes longer.
And then choose whether to let it happen.
Or change it.
The more he interfered, the stronger the ability became.
He could rewind three seconds.
He could view five possible outcomes.
He could cancel someone's success by preventing the moment that led to it.
He could save someone who was meant to die.
Or ensure someone died who was meant to live.
But he was not the only one.
People whose future memories showed them becoming world leaders, billionaires, or powerful figures began forming alliances.
They wanted the future to remain exactly as they had seen it.
Because in that future, they won.
They called themselves the Fate Protection Organization.
Their mission was simple.
Eliminate every Futureless person.
Because as long as Futureless individuals existed, the future was no longer guaranteed.
And the moment the future stopped being guaranteed, their power began to crumble.
Ayaan soon discovered another horrifying detail.
In every version of the future remembered by billions of people…
He was nowhere to be found.
No records.
No mentions.
No death.
Nothing.
It was as if ten years later, he had never existed at all.
