OP probably wrote himself a little nap program in BASIC back in the early 90s, just to wake him up in an hour. But when he ran the program and laid down he didn’t realize his computer was in turbo mode. The clock flew and the tears whirled by and when he woke up an “hour” later the only evidence of the world he’d left behind … was this bizarre one hour timeout in the weird graphical software of the future.
His only chance to return home is to turbo the unturboable: time itself! But in a backwards direction, which is even more impossible!
Or, to give up and live in the future … as a much older version of himself.
