Solving The Paradox

It's not that Rob wasn't grateful for the opportunity to get an education, for his friends and his choices in life. But as he made his way from the university campus through the snow on the cold January evening, he wondered how different his life would be now if he had taken the job his father offered him 2 years ago. Perhaps he might have been able to help Caroline and she wouldn't be in this mess, perhaps he would even be able to solve some of his own problems, not make the same mistakes.

Lost in his own thoughts as he walked over the Ryegate Bridge, he didn't hear the loud crack of a tear in the fabric of space-time. A wormhole had opened up directly in his path and he was about to walk directly into it, until he spotted something something shiny in the snow which made him pause and stoop to examine it. It was a handful of one and two pound coins, Rob couldn't believe his luck. As he scooped them up, the wormhole began to close. As he continued his steps closer to the spot where the wormhole had opened up, it grew smaller and smaller till it closed up completely. Rob continued on his journey home with the feeling perhaps his luck had changed after all?
