The morning after the election, he woke early. He was still exhausted from giving his concession speech the night before.
The loss was crushing. He really thought he’d done it this time. He was going to set everything right. His future was a red carpet, rolling out ahead of him, until the numbers came in.
He made a cup of tea and turned on the news, trying to figure out what went wrong.
In the afternoon he set up the time machine and set the engine for a month prior. He’d get it right, no matter how long it took.
