Time Travel Solo

Time Travel Solo Write - 
You burst through the front door and frantically run to your room. You pace along the floor and then sit down at your desk to rub your temple, but immediately spring back up and start pacing again. What to do? Nothing is going right. You need a way out. But you can’t turn back time, can you?
Suddenly, you hear a tap on your window, and you stop pacing and whirl around. There’s nothing there, so you resume your pacing, but you hear the tapping again. You glance out the window but see nothing. After another minute of thinking, the tapping returns once more. Deciding it can’t be a coincidence, you throw open the window and look outside. “Who’s there?” You shout, but get no answer other than the tweeting birds. Suddenly, a bird that was sitting on the fence across from your window flies straight into your room. You scream and wave your arms wildly, hoping to get it out, and it’s gone as fast as it came in. Everything is suddenly quiet, and you notice that the bird dropped something - a leather satchel. You pick it up and realize that inside it is a note. Curious, you begin to read.
Dear selected,
Have you ever wished you could turn back time? Well, you’re in luck. The Guild of Analog Travelers (GOAT) have created a special opportunity just for you! If you’re in trouble and need to go back in time to fix your mistakes, now is your chance. Contrite to popular belief, time travel exists, and GOAT would like to share this discovery with you. If you wish to come, fill out the form and send it back to GOAT. If you wish to bring supplies with you, it must fit in this satchel. Then be sure you are outside of your home at 11:32 p.m. on September 20 to be picked up. Soon all your troubles will be swept away. 
Cheers!
Travelers of the Guild of Analog Travelers. (GOAT)
The note doesn’t make much sense. GOAT? A very strange acronym. And why so specific about the times? And, perhaps most curious of all, how did "GOAT" know that you wanted to turn back time. But in the end, this is your only option. You shake your head and fill out the form.

The last part made me laugh.  ""It sure is wierd to see your old neighbor going about their life again", he said, shaking his head.  "But it's even weirder to see your late fiancé.""  I look forward to the next part!
