Click The Universal Remote
Your decisions shape the moments that matter. When architect Michael Newman discovers a mysterious remote that lets him skip through life, he learns too late that time can't be rewound. Every fast-forward steals something irreplaceable—love, connection, presence. Now, faced with the consequences of his choices, he must decide: live fully, or keep rushing toward the end.It’s 2006, and I’m exhausted. Another late night at the office, another dinner missed with Donna and the kids. I just wanted one thing to work—literally. The TV, the stereo, the damn garage door—why can’t one remote handle it all? So I ended up at Bed Bath & Beyond, wandering aisles like a ghost, until I collapsed on a display bed. I must’ve blacked out.
When I woke up, there was a door. ‘Beyond.’ No signs, no employees, just this old guy—Morty—handing me a universal remote. ‘It does everything,’ he said. ‘But you can’t return it.’
I thought it was a joke. Until I used it to skip traffic. Then an argument. Then a whole week of flu. It felt like magic. Until I realized I wasn’t living—I was just… passing through.
Now I’m back at the beginning. 2006. Same house. Same family. Same remote on my kitchen counter. And a note: ‘You know what to do.’
This time, I won’t skip a second.
