“Wait.” He clicked on the link that appeared, and Frank’s mouth dropped open when the page loaded. Bob went over to ‘plot outline’ and clicked ‘more’, then let Frank read the contents of that page. “Want a seat” Bob asked, getting off the chair. Numbly, eyes still glued to the words of the screen, Frank sat down, ashen-faced. He put his sandwich down on the desk, then moved his hand over to the mouse and scrolled down a little. How did they know… “Welcome to the Twilight Zone, huh” Bob said. “I thought you’d be interested. And if you feel you can take it, watch the trailer.” Frank’s mind was spinning. He hit the ‘Backspace’ key, then scrolled down the main page for The Frighteners, feeling as though he were in some sort of trance. ‘Cast overview, first billed only:’ None of the actor’s names rang a bell. His cursor settled over the first name on the list, and he hesitated, looking over at Bob. The ghost took the hint and left. “I’ll go see how Eddie’s progressing,” he said, heading up the staircase. Taking a deep breath, Frank clicked on Michael J. Fox’s name. The page loaded, and Frank felt his stomach do a lazy roll as he glanced at the actor’s photograph. Face paling, he quickly scrolled down, his breaths coming in short quick bursts. Welcome to the Twilight Zone, huh Okay then, Rod Serling, where are you Frank swallowed uneasily. Calm down, he told himself. I’m sure there’s a rational explanation for all of this… Yeah, what He scanned through the actor’s filmography. Some movies sounded vaguely familiar, but… Back to the Future. Wait a sec… hadn’t Marty McFly been played by Eric Stoltz Frank clicked on the link. The page loaded, he scrolled down… I guess not. Now what Cast overview, first billed only Marty McFly --- Michael J. Fox Dr. Emmett Brown --- Christopher Lloyd Lorraine McFly --- Lea Thompson George McFly --- Crispin Glover Biff Tannen --- Thomas F. Wilson ‘ ‘ ‘ Several seconds passed while Frank tried to collect his somewhat confused thoughts. He picked up his sandwich and took a bite, then brought up Yahoo.com and typed “marty mcfly” into the search bar. Too many results. He tried again. +”marty mcfly” - “back to the future” Fewer results this time… Frank scrolled down when one link caught his eye. Hill Valley Online …Valley Online Directory User ID=13561 Name: Marty McFly E-mail Address: futureboy85@hillvalley-online.com Age … http://www.hillvalley-online.com/mail/directory/~013561
Hill Valley That town was supposed to be fictional… He clicked on the link. Name: MARTY MCFLY E-mail Address: futureboy85@hillvalley-online.com Age: DISCLOSED Sex: M Address: DISCLOSED Interests: - Okay… Frank thought, when the date on the top right-hand corner of the page caught his eye. ‘March 30, 2004.’ 2004 Whatever Frank had expected, it wasn’t that. So this was a website from the future Or at least one claiming to be from the future. The future… and another universe, it seemed, unless this entire site was just the creation of some die-hard Back to the Future fan with too much free time for his or her own good. If that was the case, why set it in 2004, of all years And why the secrecy – the only personal details were Marty’s name, gender and e-mail address. A fan would surely have filled in all the fields. Frank had come looking for answers, but it seemed that all he was getting were more questions. He decided that there was only one way to solve it all; or at least part of it. Pulling up a new Internet window, Frank accessed his own e-mail account and started a new message. His fingers rested on the keyboard as he wondered how to begin. What could he say ‘Hi, are you really the guy from Back to the Future Because you’re not supposed to exist, see, and I was just wondering who you were…’ Somehow, he didn’t think that would work. Frank clicked back to the Hill Valley Online window and read through Marty McFly’s short biography again, hoping for ideas… The little smiley face icon next to the e-mail address suddenly lit up. Marty McFly, whoever he was, had just come online. Frank moved his cursor over the smiley face icon. The arrow cursor turned into a hand, and a message box rolled out: ‘Instant message futureboy85’. He clicked, and a new window opened and loaded. Now was his chance to find out just what was going on… Clicking on the chat bar, he typed. Guest says: is this marty mcfly Several seconds passed with no activity. Then… futureboy85 says: Yes. Who are you Guest says: frank bannister. i dont think you know me Guest says: so youre a back to the future fan, huh Guest says: did your parents really name you marty mcfly, or is that just a nick Another long pause. futureboy85 says: You’ve seen Back to the Future Guest says: yeah. i thought a lot of people have. Guest says: it’s a classic. made eric stoltz famous. There was a long pause again, and Frank drummed his fingers impatiently on the table. Either this Marty McFly was a really slow typist, or he was busy, or… futureboy85 says: Eric Stoltz Okay, Frank thought. He seems surprised at the mention of Eric Stoltz’s name. So either he’s: 1) a fan of the version of the movie not starring Stoltz, or some strange parallel universe portal thing has somehow opened and 2) he’s the character played by Stoltz, or 3) he’s the character not played by Stoltz, or 4) some guy just having fun putting me on, or 5) someone else…
