ARTC :: The Time Machine

The Time Machine

by H G Wells

"Time. The fourth dimension. The ultimate mystery. The ultimate prison. Time, fleeing away from us like sand escaping from a ruptured hour glass - fleeing, flying, fading away. Leaving us with all our yesterdays, all our stillborn plans and ambitions, nothing but wreckage on the vast and indifferent sea of Time. But I have sailed that sea, charted those unchartable depths. Call me the Time Traveller, for that is what I am."

It's such a simple thing. Just move the lever. Move it forward. All the way forward. And hurtle through the uncountable ages that stretch between us and the final Destiny of Man. Just move the lever. And hear the sweet sad songs of the Eloi.

And stare into the cold, knowing eyes of the Morlocks.

And on the same tape:

A Glitch in Time by Brad Strickland

Time machines are uncomplicated things. In hundreds of science fiction stories they have slipped defiantly into the past or slid silently into the future. You know where you are with a time machine. They go forward. They go back. Unless you get caught in a loop.

Then you have a problem. Then you're repeating the same day over and over again. But you're a resourceful kind of guy, you figure out a way to break the loop. It's going to take a little time, but you figure time is the one thing you can afford to lose. Then you discover time machines don't always go forward and back.

Sometimes they go sideways.
