Life on Mars
At party with (now ex) girlfriend of two years. She’s a little drunker than me, and too gullible.
I take her outside and very seriously explain to her that I’m from a future colony on Mars, and I’ve been sent back in time and to Earth to research humanity. I tell her I already have a wife and children in the future, on Mars, and someday soon I’ll have to go back to my home.
She had tears in her eyes, and smiled a bit in skepticism (such a hard sell, she is), but was genuinely sad for a bit. Story credit: Reddit / WoofWoofington
