thank God i found my pencil box! THE pencil box!
Written on: Tuesday, January 20, 2009
i never really made lots of friends, always preferring to keep to myself. but the Wreck, as he was commonly known, was different. he was eccentric and crazily ambitious, and always made people want to be involved in whatever it is he was doing. 'doing' started off with the occasional game of golf, then the opera, dinner with his shady group of associates, and in the end helping him with his very much talked about experiments.Time: 11:35 PM these experiments are what led to what has been coined by many as a 'sad ending that will never really see an end'. and in honour of my great friend, i will describe to you the incidents that culminated in the 'end'. the Dr always had a thing for out-of-this-world science projects, but i was stunned when he sent me a telegraph one day, describing to me his plans for building a time machine. i laughed at first, but soon realized how serious he was. i was worried but curious of the possibilities. he didn't want me involved in this though, saying it was a surprise; i was not angry, for i was never really one for fame or glory. i had helped him previously because i had wanted to, and though i didn't ask for anything, he was always generous in giving me my portion of his earnings. so i waited. on the 2nd of february, exactly 7 months after i had received the telegram (and had not seen him since. God, i didn't realize how long that was), i was paid a visit by my dear friend. it was a pleasant surprise, and he brought with him even better news. 'its ready'. he whispered dramatically, smiling widely. in all my excitement i rushed to grab my coat and we almsot ran to his lab, along the coast. trivial details aside, he gave me a very peculiar explanation of what had been happening, and of what was about to happen: 'my friend, for a long time i have been planning and working towards this day. every second has been maximally utilized, and the mechanisms of my great plan will undoubtedly function smoothly. now, in the preceeding days, i had set off a chain of events, some of which you'll find quite amusing, that will place us in a position of choice; and by means of this machine, we will travel back in time and make these choices, and whatever it is happens, i assure you, the finale would be grand and memorable beyond imagination. and the best part is, that ending has been fated to happen later today.' i stood there, rapidly absorbing all that he told, and picturing myself in strange worlds doing unimaginable things. then i smiled at the prospects, and said 'excellent. let's begin this fantastic journey!' 'ah! i always knew you were a good sport. now, dear friend, this complex journey we are about to embark upon, begins, strange as it might seem, 23 hours ago. then we will jump to different points in time, and i'll teach you more along the way. how does that sound?' 'you lost me there, but i don't care. we must waste no time!' 'great' he said in a low, mystical voice. 'are you ready for yesterday?' * |
