Time Machine Light blue light trickled out of the machine as I pressed the ignition. A running sound of the engine, the floor started to shake. I could feel molecules in my body start the disappear out of existence. The next thing I knew I was falling through a dark tunnel. Pitch black and forever falling until I was faced up on a solid material. Looking up I saw a dark sky filled with plumes of smoke. The sound of people screaming, babies crying, and sudden loud explosions. Still dizzy, I…

Gulliver, when he is abandoned by his crew, lives a new life so contrary to his original one, that it affects him and his family…
