When you are as rich as I am, it is easy to live an adventurous life. Just yesterday I took off in the company jet and went towards California for a business trip. But suddenly, the sky went dark. "Uh-oh", I thought. "There's a storm!"

Just then, I could not see anything outside of the window either. It was completely black. But then, I saw that the sky was an odd color, a shade of orange-red, even though it was apparently supposed to be noon. The sky then went black again, and I could see that the days had gotten much shorter than usual. What was supposed to be a 245-hour day was being compressed into only 12 minutes.

"I must be dreaming," I said to myself. "How can this be? How come the Earth seems to be spinning at an alarmingly fast speed?"

I then landed at what looked like the airport. However, everything seemed to be moving very fast. People were coming and going like flashes of light, and I could see that the time was changing very fast. It was a temporal anomaly, and somehow, my plane wasn't affected by it.

I got my luggage from the plane. My luggage, as well as my own body, was not affected by this temporal anomaly either. I then went up to one of the airport staff members and asked them, "What's going on here? I just landed, but time seems to be accelerated! On the way here, it was pitch-black!" "I don't know," the staff member replied. "Just yesterday, it was completely normal!"

I shrugged and went back to the company jet. I then took off again and went east. Perhaps I will be able to get out of this temporal anomaly before I am affected by it. I then took off, noticing that the rotation of the Earth was still accelerated. Just then, I found myself in pitch-blackness again. I then went farther west towards another airport. I could see that the rotation of the Earth was back to normal, but when I landed, I realized that over a year had passed. I then later saw a news report about a temporal anomaly affecting an airport, and said airport being closed due to it.
