Fiction Piece: Prelude

Most young people aren't comfortable in their own skin. They imagine themselves as aliens, elves, or even just adults. They may dream of greatness, fame, fortune. They may focus their efforts on achieving those goals through sports, perhaps acting, or just simple academics to support a super career. Perhaps they will succeed. Perhaps not. Many don't and they soon realize that they may be unique, but they are not all that unique. As the daily grind wears them down, their dreams of greatness fade to a distant memory.

What if you were special? What if your dreams of greatness weren't idle speculation on another place and time, but memories of an earlier point in your existence? What if the ability to return to greatness was not far off?

What might happen then?
