My name is Shane..my buddy associate and I have been working for years on a deal we are sure will be the wonderment of this life time as we see it..it does work but this has been our secret for more than twenty years..now I have to begin my story by stating we both are professors..I am not the real brainy one..but Jonathan is..so our combined efforts have made all this real..
It was June in the year 2002..all the years of working had paid off..I was really getting excited now about all this..and the stories that Jonathan and I could share with the world would surly make us both the talk of this new century..
I know you remember the old movie the Time Machine..it was always a fantasizing subject to just watch..and the different times and worlds ventured into..we were going to do this..laughing while we discussed all this years ago we both knew that this was our main objective in life..nothing else would matter..but we never thought it would take all this time in to finally achieve our dreams..
The day started out as any other..but we were complete with all we had to do to make our project work..this was going to be the day..the sun was bright above the clouds..and the heat was near unbearable..Jonathan was up early..and I came to the basement where we had built the time machine..with a cup of coffee for the both of us..had to get the old adrenalin going..well were we really ready for this new trek to another time and place..I was still a little skeptic about it all..
We had to decide on a year..a time..and place..maybe setting the time would take us there only..but if this was the wrong time we could get into something possibly we could not get out of..wars..or even worse..this had to be right from the start..
Jonathan and I had made our travel machine for two..but there was room on the back to store and put some of the essential things we may need..we always had the idea like we were going camping..and only to take what we just had to..you know matches..lighter fluid..sleeping bags..the things people usually take..some can goods..but the more we were getting ready..the more we had stored for this trip and our time machine now looked like Santa and the big bad of goodies we would take on Christmas Eve.
After our coffee..we both were so excited to get on with this we almost forgot out main thoughts...we were really going to do this..and now..no waiting any longer..
Jonathan went to the front seat..he would be the navigator..and I crawled into the back seat and felt somewhat safer..I could always see what I needed to see without being the first to go forward..this should be Jonathan place..he had worked magnificently for so long..and too..his health being as it was..from lack of rest the last few months suited him to take that first step into the unknown..
Jonathan and I strapped ourselves in..and the time was set to 1900..those early years of the pure gentleman and those fabulous long gowns for the proper lady..as John pushed the time lever a little forward the room was getting darker..it was night time with just a split second of movement of the wheel..
Both of us sat in amazement that this was really working...we continued to push the level..sitting it seemed we were really not moving but could see the walls change..the window we always had out computers in front of was no longer there..and the sun was brightly shinning now we being outside..this was awesome..fantastic..and some what strange..but we kept going..we lost tack of time..here we were ..settled down..the whinnying of the machine stopping...
I looked at John..he had a puzzled look on his face..and we both gathering our wits about us realized we were here it was that year on the machine of 1900..but where..I knew John had set the setting for summer of Boston..but this sure did not look like anything we had in mind..we were behind a huge gray stone building..where were we...was this Boston..or had we miscalculate our dimension measurements..
We could hear something but what was it..we could not quite figure out the noise..what was it person..or thing...looking up I could see something on the top of this huge gray stoned building..what was it..the walls were so high.."hey John..what is that up there on top"..do you see it..!! I can't figure it out..just as soon as I had gotten those words out..whissssss something went by us..what was it..we looked in the direction of the sound..it was a spear..a spear..where had that come from...another one..and another..we were in the wrong time frame..How did this happen...
John was pushing the lever..we were leaving and he pushed so fast and hard we were back into our basement..safe and sound...Wow.. what a relief...what went wrong..things looked the same now..our familiar surroundings..and it felt good to know we were home once again safe and sound..then we heard noises..people..what in the world was going on..
Now Jonathan and I were rushing towards the window..there were people in fur skinned clothes..and spears plunging towards the house..something had definitely gone wrong..and onward we had to go..jumping back into the time machine we pushed the lever forward one more time..where would we end up now..was this our punishment of playing with time.....
