Taco Bell in 1995

June 8, 1995. George Serling had 10 minutes left of his shift. He worked on the grill at a Taco Bell. A small building in the middle of a parking lot. It was late into the afternoon. The restaurant wasn't very busy. All he wanted to do was go home and play some video games.

The cook's shift had ended. He decided to take a quick restroom break. The restroom was dull but clean. His business done, he went to wash his hands. While drying his hands, he noticed a notebook in the corner. Translucent blue plastic cover, metal spine, and over 100 pages of loose leaf paper. He picked up the manuscript, and opened it to the first page. Down the left margin were a series of dates and sentences down the middle. The first read: 06/08/1995 - the Journal is discovered.

Reading the seemingly corrct prediction, he closed the book in a state of shock and confusion. Realizing that the book may be of some intrest, he carried it with him to his car.

15 minutes passed. He got home and placed the book on his table. He opened the book and read the next passages. 06/10/1995 - Disney releases Pocahontas in Central Park. 06/23/1995 - Jonas Salk dies of heart failure in La Jolla, California. 08/24/1995 - South Africa defeats New Zealand in the Rugby World Cup. Deciding to wait for the 10th, he hides the book on his shelf.

June 10. Serling watches the evening news while annticipating the prediction. Near the end of the broadcast, it comes. The words "Pocahontas premieres in Central Park" scroll in the bottom of the screen.
