Time Machine Novels & Stories

I say and my parents drop their forks. "A parallel universe?" Mom asks. "How did he get here then?" Dad asks. "Well, my invention brought him here by accident. I call it the Inter-Universal Teleportation Machine 1.0. It transports objects and people," I explain, holding Travis, "from one universe to another. It's amazing isn't it?" "It is." Dad agrees. "The name's lame," Aimee comments with a deadpan tone. "You can call it the ITM-1, it's more catchy."

“It’s still early to prepare for it. I’ll stand by till Sam gets here.” I looked at the machine right in front of my eyes. It was made of steel, a ton of wirings, a cylinder-like metallic body, and some other bits of gear I am not familiar with. “Working on it again?” I asked. I heard how my mom took a deep breath. “Yeah, it’s always been my dream to create a time manipulation device. I am nowhere near in relinquishing that dream.”

But there is only one applicant and he needs to start the project as soon as possible. It's a nuisance to go back to the present time when he needs to find some assistants to work for him. Maybe one should be enough for now and he can just hire more from the future. The problem with the working time machine is that it can only go back and forth from the present time to the future. He needs to make a device that can also go back to the past.

The destination was also marked out as hostile. “What we have here is a classic case of ‘Internal Old Machine Tampering’ where the fact that creators not trusting their machines can be exploited. The system does the time travel and then does not check if it is in the correct location. It simply tests for space viability using oxygen sensors, seeing if it can remake its cargo, no matter where it landed. The process, however, is a long one and the checking process is repeated multiple times with more analogue methods before any person or object materialises. As little of the code and system are used, and the time machine materialises first without the cargo, jus

Nathan trailed off. “The weird thing about your mind time traveling or your dream consciousness was the limits. You can go forwards as far as you want, but backward only works as far as the present day, or the time you left. Traveling back from “now” was impossible as if the continuum was chopped right off — like we are sitting on a moving dot and can only “bungee jump” forwards and backward back and forth. “What!? No, no. You mean if we travel back now there is a possibility that the battle was finished?”

She shook her head again, tears spilling down her cheeks. "But what if it’s not over? What if the threat is still there, Anton? What if I can’t protect this baby?" Her voice was rising with panic, and I could see the terror in her eyes. "The timing... it’s too much of a coincidence. It’s the same date, Anton. On the same date, I found out I was pregnant in the other future. What if that’s not just a coincidence? What if it’s a sign that the threat hasn’t really gone away?"

I came back to the room and was instructed to lay down. Jason told me to relax before the examination began, and I tried to as much as I could, I really didn't know much about all these machines, but as I relaxed I watched as they began the process as I slowly move inside the X-ray machine, it was like the Machine was scanning me, I've never really had a reason to enter an x-ray machine, this was my first. When the machine was done, I slowly came out, I breathed a sigh of relief as Jason helped me sit up.

He smiled. Although the window was too small, he could manage to enter in the room and jumped into it without any sound. And there was the TIME MACHINE. The room was dark, because the natural satellite Nool's light couldn't reach here for the deep forest around. But the slight light was enough for him to recognize the machine.

He selected the timeline, found the weakest spot on that space and started the portal. Time-portal was an invention of the old man. It is different from time-travelling machine. Time-travelling machine needs one to be on the same place as one’s destination. If you want to know what Earth is like in its early years, you need to be on Earth when you used the time-travelling machine in order to do so. Time-portal has no need for this. It is a combination of the latter and space portal. You don’t need to be on the same place as your destination if you want to know its future or past. It can be used from any place.

Standing in the center of the living room, Alex found it difficult to breathe for the first time. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. It was a delivery person with a postcard mailed from Aspurg ten years ago. I had written it in my elegant handwriting. "To us ten years from now, may our love remain as it was in the beginning." Alex rushed out of the villa and called his assistant frantically. "Where's my wife? She's been missing for a month, and none of you noticed?" His assistant, Caleb Grover, trembled on the other end. "Mr. Carter, Mrs. Carter said she wanted to go on a retreat for meditation and didn't want anyone to disturb her... We thought—"
