(Translated from Japanese by Saya)
This is a cryptic story!
I have obtained a time machine from a secret source.
That being said, you can travel only to the future using the machine, because if you could go back in time it would alter the course of history and that would be too dangerous.
I decided to travel to the time ten years from now.
Me, ten years older than I am now -
I wonder what I will be like!

Also, I hope this doesn't come off as whining or complaining, because I'm really happy to see this blog active again, but I'd personally love to see some regular old non-cryptic stories again. The spooky short stories and ritual instructions were really what made me fall in love with your blog.
But, whatever you decide to do, it's cool! Welcome back.
As there is no way to go back in time, neither he nor the version of him that already went into the future 10 years ago, will ever be seen again. (And depending on the country, ten years from the disappearance, the vanished person will likely be officially declared dead.)
And if the first person decides to travel ten more years in order to meet the version of himself that went there before ... so will have the other him, so they both vanish from the respective point in time they´re at again.
- Since this is my first comment, thank you for this blog. I am greatly enjoying the stories!
Because... the person who went to 10 years later using the time machine has, in one way or another, set the events of those 10 years in stone. Particularly when he/she decided to jump to the future. So... The "past" event keeps repeating itself.
The "answer" to this story generally seems to be this:
The man in this story goes to the future but he can't come back to the present(because the time machine only allows you to go to the future) and so that means he simply disappears from the face of the earth and the older version of him doesn't even exist.
@Octavio Yes, dear. Something along that line.
@Visser Of course, dear. I will be posting longer and scarier stories too! I was only posting shorter ones to buy me time to work on non-cryptic stories which are usually longer and more complicated.
@Yukari How very perceptive of you. I'm very impressed with your answer! Thank you for commenting! I love getting comments from people :D I hope you will continue to enjoy my posts!
@Unknown 20 July Thank you for your interesting thoughts! :D
@CY Oh! Your answer sounds scarier than the answer I've given. I like that!
@Diogo That's interesting! I thought he would disappear completely but you say he might simply go missing for 10 years. That is another very plausible answer! Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us!
Once again, thank you everyone for taking time to comment. Take care! (It's sweltering in Japan!)
Good one, Saya-san.
