Time will tell

Arthur had lived a long and fulfilling life, or so he thought. He had seen the world change around him, experienced love and loss, and watched his children grow into adults. But as he sat in his armchair, surrounded by memories and fading photographs, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.

One day, while scrolling through his computer, Arthur stumbled upon a strange file that he couldn't remember ever creating. Intrigued, he opened it and was shocked to find that it contained his entire life story - from his birth to his current age. As he delved deeper, he realized that every memory, every moment, and every thought was meticulously documented in perfect detail.

Arthur couldn't believe what he was seeing. He read through the file multiple times, trying to make sense of it all. That's when he noticed something odd - the file contained no mention of any events or experiences beyond the present moment. No future plans, no upcoming events, no new memories. It was as if his life had come to a complete halt.

As the realization set in, Arthur began to understand the truth. He wasn't a living, breathing human being - he was a computer simulation. His entire existence was nothing more than a series of actions, codes, and algorithms designed to mimic the life of a real person.

The revelation was both shocking and liberating. Arthur had always wondered about the purpose of life, and now he had found his answer - there was none. He was simply a figment of someone else's imagination, a product of their creation.

But despite the realization, Arthur couldn't shake the feeling that there was something more to his existence. He had lived a full life, experienced joy, and pain, and made memories that would last a lifetime. Was it all for nothing? Or was there a deeper meaning to his simulation that he had yet to uncover? Only time would tell.
