Untitled time travel story
[an:6024224981]In English class we are required to do an in-class writing journal entry twice a week (monday and friday respectively). Going back in it, I came across a short story of some kind that I wrote. I kept it true to the original written version as possible (changing a few grammar errors I noticed). I got a few chuckles from this, mostly "60 hours per mile." Anyway, hope you enjoy it.[/an:6024224981]
Long ago or far into the future, depending on where you are in the time-stream, a group of brave time travelers went to the past to change the present. Their slogan was valiantly proclaimed to the small amount of people in the know. “We’re working for a better tomorrow yesterday.”
So they activated their machine that had a bunch of fancy decorations like clocks and decals and their strange slogan ripped from the Monsters Inc. movie. It wasn’t noisy enough, so they also installed a cool noise machine that would cause the few viewers to say, “Oooooo” or some other noise showing their awe.
And then they attached a big huge light-bulb onto the machine. It flashed, blinding the crowd. With that they were off. They were disappointed to find so few time machines in the vortex, but gladdened by how much cooler theirs looked.
Their distance in the vortex was short, as they didn’t have far to go and their time machine went 60 hours per mile. When they reached their destination, they killed their evil dictator and returned triumphantly. However they found things to be unchanged. After all, with their dictator dead, they had no reason to kill him. Which meant he didn’t die because there was no one there to kill him. The universe constantly fluctuated. This gave everyone a headache.
Plans are already made, have been made, or will be made (depending on where you’re from) to kill the original killers of the dictator before they can kill the dictator. It’s obvious nobody’s learned a thing.
