Would be this, would be that. It would happen but it didn’t. What was the past promising us, and what did the future hold for us? How was I to know all these? One day, this would be the question meddling with my mind.

Then I would work for Leibniz Investigation Company in order to investigate the past. Anything with a spider web on it, anything that I was going to come across would be a pearl for me during the investigation. But I was going to find it in an unexpected place, in the Turkish tenses room: Future in the past.

Thanks to future in the past, I was going to do long and painstaking observations on memories which await to be experienced. Thus, I would be able to learn about the past’s potential, yet incomplete, which Ricœur talks about. I would use this not-yet-experienced knowledge to change the life that is imposed on us. If my calculations turn out to be accurate, free will would burst out of everywhere. And finally institutions of a utopian bureaucracy that wouldn’t work for evil was to be established. Oh, how beautiful this would be! Would be this, would be that.
