"ETERNAL LIFE"
|
||
|
by THE GNN/DualCrew/uXu
|
||
|
|
||
|
Dedicated to Phearless -
|
||
|
the man who will never accept the fact
|
||
|
that movement is impossible
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
A fully working time machine. Charles took another walk around it,
|
||
|
feeling its cold shiny shell with his hand. He could see his own
|
||
|
face on it, reflecting from the metal.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"This is my ticket to the Nobel Prize..."
|
||
|
|
||
|
His workshop during the last two years had been his own garage. His wife
|
||
|
had complained (as usual). She didn't want to park the car on the lawn.
|
||
|
As if THAT was some kind of problem? He was creating a incredible machine
|
||
|
and she came dragging with nonsense.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"And whatthehell is that stupid thing you are working on, anyway? Looks
|
||
|
like an atomic bomb! Don't tell me you have read The Terrorists Handbook,
|
||
|
AGAIN?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
To stop the discussion, he did as he always did; he threw her out and closed
|
||
|
the door to the garage. Then he worked, worked and worked. He bought
|
||
|
materials in the local supermarket or ordered the more hi-tech equipment
|
||
|
from amateur radio stores. Days and nights. No sleep. Little food (often
|
||
|
given to him on a plate together with the latest bills. He ate the food
|
||
|
and used the bills to warm up the garage in the winters).
|
||
|
|
||
|
He didn't remember exactly when he got the idea. Actually, he had forgotten
|
||
|
WHY he got the idea a long time ago. It was so simple...anyone could do it.
|
||
|
But he had just done it. The metallic capsule in front of him in the
|
||
|
cold garage was the proof.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Incredible...", he whispered with a smile.
|
||
|
|
||
|
He opened the door to the garage and ran to the house in a sudden need of
|
||
|
showing his masterpiece to someone. Even if it had to be his wife. The sun
|
||
|
shined on him and the birds sang. This was HIS day!
|
||
|
But when he reached the door something struck him. What would happen if
|
||
|
it didn't work? He had not thought about that. It could lead to disaster!
|
||
|
Imagine if it just said "cough" and then nothing happened. Imagine if
|
||
|
he actually HAD constructed a atomic bomb without knowing about it!
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Maybe I'm a victim of russian brain-washing!"
|
||
|
|
||
|
He turned around and ran back into the garage. He locked the door and
|
||
|
looked at his construction again, with sweat dripping from his head.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I must do a test drive", he thought.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It was easy to operate the machine. You just had to push a button on
|
||
|
the outside, step inside, close the door and select a year. A short
|
||
|
moment of waiting and then - woosh! Back to the past! His first
|
||
|
problem was what year to select. Last year? Last decade? He thought
|
||
|
for a while and decided to go back one year and watch himself building
|
||
|
the machine.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The machine landed on the lawn outside his garage. He heard himself
|
||
|
working inside the garage, throwing metal pieces on the walls and screaming
|
||
|
"heureka!" all the time. Then he saw his wife. She sat in the car beside him
|
||
|
and tried to start it. Strange. She didn't see him standing on the lawn with
|
||
|
the machine.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Maybe she doesn't recognize me!"
|
||
|
|
||
|
Then he almost banged his head to the wall in anger and understanding.
|
||
|
How could he be so stupid! Of course she couldn't see him! He was a man
|
||
|
of the future, just visiting the past. He was invisible to everyone in
|
||
|
this time. Which meant that all objects around him must be abstract
|
||
|
things. He took a great step into the garage wall and almost knocked
|
||
|
himself unconscious.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"A true miscalculation!", he said while laying on his back on the lawn.
|
||
|
|
||
|
He decided to leave. He could go back another time to watch himself
|
||
|
build the machine instead of doing a lot of mistakes now. He could die
|
||
|
in this time! Then no one would see or understand his work. Except
|
||
|
for his wife then, she would probably understand. She could operate
|
||
|
it and tell the world. She could be famous. He decided to return quickly.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Charles had done another miscalculation. A few minutes after he had left
|
||
|
his present time, his wife entered the garage with an axe. She called
|
||
|
his name sweetly but he didn't answer. He had a good reason tough. He was
|
||
|
in another time. But she didn't know about that. She raised the axe and
|
||
|
turned the time machine into a pile of worthless dust.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"It's gone! FINALLY! BACK TO A NORMAL FUCKING LIFE!"
|
||
|
|
||
|
Charles life would never turn normal again. His body tried to enter the
|
||
|
present time but couldn't find any door. The machine exploded in the
|
||
|
space of time due to overload. So did his body. Everything exploded in
|
||
|
the space of time and disappeared forever. Charles himself, came screaming
|
||
|
out from a hole in the space and landed on the roof of his garage.
|
||
|
Something had gone wrong. He looked around and saw his wife walk away
|
||
|
with a axe in her hands, laughing. He jumped down and rushed to the door.
|
||
|
After dozens of tries he discovered that he couldn't open it.
|
||
|
He had no hands. He didn't even have a body!
|
||
|
|
||
|
He accepted the facts after a few hours. He wasn't longer alive. He
|
||
|
was just a spirit floating around in the present time. His body and
|
||
|
the machine was gone. Only his mind was left. He cheered himself up
|
||
|
by thinking that it could have been worse. Now he could do things
|
||
|
he always wanted to do. He could go to the cinema for free. He could
|
||
|
sneak into other peoples bedroom at night. No one would ever notice
|
||
|
him again.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Years passed. He flew all around the world and saw new generations
|
||
|
come to life. Cultures, music, food. He saw it all and cried to the
|
||
|
silence "Touch it! Please, let me touch it!". But he could never do
|
||
|
that again. He danced on the clouds. He dived in the seven seas.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Decades and thousands of years passed. He saw countries fight and
|
||
|
die. He saw the pollution kill the human being. Life returned however,
|
||
|
but not until six millions years later. He saw it all.
|
||
|
|
||
|
He got tired of planet earth. Space screamed "Explore me!" in his mind.
|
||
|
Planets, moons and The Milky Way. Everything was his. He watched suns
|
||
|
explode and die. Black holes took him to other places where no man ever
|
||
|
had gone before. In his mind, only one thing echoed; "Will I ever die?".
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Big Crunch came. The entire universe changed direction. Billions
|
||
|
of years later, everything was only a big ball. After a few billion
|
||
|
years more, it was time. Another universe was about to be born. He had
|
||
|
solved all the mathematical problems while waiting. The ball started to
|
||
|
implode and then it exploded. Tears fell in his mind.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Voices. He suddenly heard voices. He looked around. Nothing. Then he
|
||
|
heard it again. He started to move closer to the sound. After a while
|
||
|
he heard the voices all around him.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"What an explosion guys! Now we only got to wait a couple of
|
||
|
billion billion years more to the next time!"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Very funny! What do you say? Should we wait here or move to a better
|
||
|
place to see it?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
Laughter. Then someone suddenly talked directly into his mind.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Hey! There's someone else here! Who are you?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
What should he do? He concentrated hard.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I'm Charles Wilson. Who are you?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
A chorus of hellos and greetings welcomed him. They never seemed to
|
||
|
stop. Different voices, different languages. But it didn't matter,
|
||
|
he understood all of it. The voice that called him the first time
|
||
|
talked to him again.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Welcome to our crowd, Charles! Strange that you haven't met us
|
||
|
before! We have been around here in deep space for quite a while!"
|
||
|
|
||
|
He knew the question was stupid but he had to ask.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Are you lost souls, like me?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
He heard laughter again.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"No", the voice answered. "We are just old time-machine constructors!"
