The Past, Present And Future

When he invented the time traveling machine by accident everyone was excited, happy. We could recreate the past and secure our future. I, as his wife was given the opportunity to be the first to time travel. After I chose to travel 3 years into the future it felt I was floating, around me was nothing. It was colourless, impossible to imagine unless you felt and saw it yourself. Except you couldn’t see it.
That happened within seconds and the next thing I knew, I was in the future. It was horrible, war was happening and I almost got killed several times. What I saw made me realise that if time machines weren’t destroyed the lines between the past, present and future would be ruined. People in medieval uniforms were fighting, along soldier in uniforms from the present and men in uniforms I assumed to be from the future. Except they were all part of the present. When I got back to what I think was the present, I tried to warn everyone, no one believed me. My husband decided to travel into the past, after ten minutes of nervous waiting, he came back and three of his colleagues had disappeared and one replaced by a complete stranger. By giving a loaf of bread to a homeless man he had killed off four people, probably more. Everyone pretended it didn’t happen, they went back to their houses and acted like they knew the complete stranger that had appeared.
Here I stand, in front of the last time travelling machine, all formulas to build one gone, all people who know how, silenced. I strike the match and hear shouting, I smile bitterly as I light fire to the last time travelling machine, helping everyone redefine the past, present and future.
