The Car of Time

"Huh? Where am I?"

I had awaken in a car. There was no driver, and I appeared to be driving at a constant rate in outer space.

"You are in the car of time," the car said.

"Why am I here?" I asked.

"You have been chosen for the eternal drive. We are going to the edge of the universe. To get there, we will drive at a constant rate until the end of time."

"But I have a life. A home. A family."

"You will journey with me. It will be great."

"Let me out of here!" I tried opening the doors to no avail.

"My doors are sealed shut. You cannot escape your destiny," the car stated.

"What is the purpose of all this?" I asked.

"Very far into the future, this universe will end, and a new one will be born. You must save the future universe."
