"I - finally - have made an excellent mind baffling invention", exclaimed George Milton his not brushed long wavy red hair were giving him that crazy scientist look. Some of his hairs were turning grey. Moreover, he hasn't shaved his beard and the mustache undisciplined lay scattered all over his lower face and some of them were grey too.
He turned to look at his Boss's son Valentine Crimson, who looked unimpressed.
"Don't be that unimpressed, Young Crimson. I am sure to earn your interest in this invention of mine", Scientist George gave a friendly smile, but behind his unbrushed red hair and not shaved beard it only made him come out creepier.
"So tell me, does it even work, or your boasting is all that this invention is about" Valentine gave the scientist a satiric smile, he sneered with his blue eyes expecting a considerably valid reply.
Valentine didn't want to come here in the first place but his father tricked him into coming there. So, it was already obvious he was irked and to 22-year-old Valentine the scientist was too much of a crazy person and his creepy looks always made him not want to talk to him. But this wasn't the same with his father; Scientist George Milton has been working under his father since the time he wasn't even born.
George never put his effort into simple tasks but on those which were considered beyond normal people's dreams. He worked on projects that people considered impossible or crazy and the surprising thing is that crazily he succeeded some of the times though not all. His father was into the curiosity of the scientist's mind and the inventions of his which could surpass normal human thinking capacity.
This time he promises to have invented a time machine which he called, "Teleporter Science".
Scientist George assistant Gabriel gave Valentine VR glasses to wear.
To which Valentine made a joke of, "Don't tell me you made a Jurassic park 360° and are calling it an invention" he gave out a satiric laugh," Why don't you ask Mr. Henderson Crimson to shift you in some 3D video making quarters. I am sure he will be surprised to know one of his favorite scientists is showing interest in virtuality, EVEN I am quite surprised" he laughed while the VR glasses squirreled in his hands.
"Looks like Mr. Valentine Crimson is in the mood for jokes" George who was definitely bothered by his joke went along knowing Valentine is going to be the next Crimson taking over after his father and he will need to be on good terms to keep getting funds.
Valentine puts on the VR glasses, "So, what now. Planning on playing some movie" he toyed with the scientist's patience.
"I will be sending my assistant Gabriel to all the places which you will be able to see through the VR glasses and when it has aroused your interest, we will plan to where you would like to go" came the polite reply from Scientist George who was confident in what he had invented.
But to this came tsk-tsk an uninterested sound from Valentine while he scratched his temple. He was making it too obvious how uninterested he was.
George, who has known Valentine for a long time already knew he has always behaved like this around him as he considers him crazy, he expected him to change his views towards his inventions with time but it was yet far from there. George, though bothered by all the ill behavior of Valentine, wanted to make Valentine soon realize how wrong he was and how big of an achievement he had made.
"Set time to 1 m.y.a (million years ago) and place to Africa" came a quick order from the Scientist George to his subordinates.
Valentine couldn't see what they were doing but he could hear the click-clack, the sound coming from the fans from running a lot of machines.
Soon, he could see in his VR. The Scientist's mentioned assistant Gabriel was standing in the middle of an African forest. Some plants were weird to him as he couldn't name what they were. Maybe, these are the plants which have gone extinct by the time Valentine thought this to himself. Gabriel ran towards bushes to hide himself there. Valentine looked around, turning his neck right and left with the wonder in his eyes , looking at the sky, the ground and at the species of plants and insects which were unnamed to him. Gabriel entered there without clothes. Valentine thought to himself that one could not time travel with their clothes on.
"So what do you say Mr. Valentine Crimson" Scientist George asked.
Valentine who was still reluctant to believe that someone has invented time travel in 2022 meanwhile to others the concept would sound like a fantasy movie plot. Moreover, he was more reluctant to the fact that it was the mad scientist George's invention, the man who has more failures than success than any other scientist he knows. Though his inventions were peculiar, the nature of the invention doesn't count for him.
"You want me to tell my points only by seeing one time travel" came the awaited reply.
"No, no, of course not" a wicked smile took over the scientist's face. Scientist already looked like a half psychopath and that smile completed the other half.

"Call Gabriel back" came from the scientist's mouth. The movement Gabriel was called back, the visual went off. Valentine took off the VR glasses he was wearing. Scientist George thought that he may have aroused some interest in Valentine towards his invention, of course, he is still a young boy, he could still arouse Valentine's liking towards his invention thought the scientist George to himself. He explained some of the rules to Valentine about his invention, "There is one thing. A person could not stay in a time period for more than an hour and will be sent back here after the time interval by default. It is more because of the system which gets overloaded. Even though we are equipped with the latest machineries, supercomputers”, there was a disappointment in his voice as he continued after every word he spok
The soft toys, story books, the vibrant pink and white color of the room made it clear that whosoever the room belongs to is a toddler or a pre-teen girl. He has been transported there naked. He picked a pillow from the bed built up for a small child and hid his pelvis region with the pillow supported by his left hand. He wished to find a towel, a better thing to wrap around and yet examining the room at the very same time. His eyes fell on the baby pink wall clock. It was decorated with animal ceramic models coated in pink and some in white which sparkled, these were stuck swirling around the wall clock. It was 02:17. He wondered whether it's early morning or afternoon as there was only this one main opening to the out but it was shut. His eyes searching for a towel laid on a table calendar, it had things writte
"Can you please tell me where am I? What is going on outside? I really don't understand what is happening" "You're in a village named Meshion, not so famous, which was expected to be a safe place in the civil war started by the Unsure and led by the brainless violent mobs. But guess what, some members of mobs decided to lead the wars in random places unlike the told and expected places like cities." she sighed facing down looking at her lap where her fists rested restless. "Are you alone?" He raised a question being worried and curious at the same time. "I wasn't but- Daddy said it would be safe here if I were a good girl but almost everyone of them he sent have died and I don't even know if any of them are still alive or they are dead too. Aunt Mary, told me to run away in basement and lock myself there and when
Looking at the three armed guys deciding to leave, Valentine felt a huge load getting off his shoulders. He knows he doesn't have much time to help. If he really wants to help, he needs to hurry or otherwise he would only create problems for the girl by leaving in between. He asked, "Do you know what the time is?" "Huh", she was a bit surprised but then answered reading her wrist watch," two forty-four" "F##k time" he whispered to himself not loud enough for her to catch his words. Time was passing quickly. Thirty-four minutes have passed, leaving him with even less than half an hour. He whispered to her, "Enter the encore room when I wave my hand to you but do not make any
A man shouted, "Don't leave any royal alive" his voice raised, "Every heir of Kenneth family must die" "Send them all to Hell", the other one cried. Valentine hid behind the wall where the path parted into two. While, the girl approached the door in silver color. The door was locked; she wandered her eyes to find how to open the door. There was a pin lock on the right side of the door. She tried any possible pin number that could come in her mind but none worked. Every random try was going incorrect. Those men had made their way inside, tearing the door away and running towards them. Valentine looked at the girl struggling to find the pin and them leading their way to theirs. This is the time that needs him to make a qui
The noise caught the green eyes' attention but he didn't move his gun away. He asked his companion to check. Valentine had an idea of what happened, " Angelica, I'll meet you after seven years, I promise. But right now save yourself" he said it all quickly, wasting no time at all. "Stupid, you isn't leaving alive from here, how the hell will you survive seven years" green eyes laughed thinking the young man is an idiot. He pressed the front part of the gun on Valentine's forehead, "Idiotic Kid, you must have lost your mind in all this. You don't even realize the kind of situation you're in" the man mocked, "You're life is in my hands." Angelica had closed the door in front of the two men approaching her and the door was tightly closed with a clack sound leaving the t
" My memories are messed up but gladly I can differentiate between what are the new ones and the old ones." George thought a little bit with his eyes narrowed, "My newer memories say, I escaped from Varson with a wound in my left hand" he showed the scar in his left hand to Valentine. Valentine clearly remembers, George didn't have the scar before but how now. He was confused. "You're telling me I changed the past in just an hour when all I was doing was trying to survive." Valentine asked. "It's hard to say it is because of you because the civil war was triggered in the middle of 2013 and led further in late 2013 and became the worst in February 2014 and soon ended." George further explained, "The civil war was against the past royal families still holding huge powe
Joshim closed the door behind him, "Mr. Henderson wanted me to pick you up from here. He was pleased to hear you came here and gave your precious time though such things don't interest you." "How kind of him after tricking me" Valentine exclaimed with the wicked smile tucked on his face. Joshim tried reading the environment in the room. Valentine was naked on bed, even though he cannot see his lower body he could tell that. The heater was a bit too warm. George looked suspiciously scared or somewhat worried. The whole thing was just weird to him. "Did something happen here?" Joshim asked not to be too direct. Valentine leaned forward looking innocent, "What can happen? Why did you asked?" Valentine knew what he meant but wanted Joshim to say it directly. A cold sweat
