Source picture for the A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words contest
What I see
A broken car, some curious people, some kids of different ages, a person inside the car.
What I feel
Though there is a person inside the car, the people around the car are not focused on him. Rather, they are looking forward. Is it because of the photographer or have they seen something else? Moreover, why am I getting confused by looking at the person who is wearing a hat and lies in the leftmost position of the picture? Sometimes I get the feeling that he is looking forward and sometimes it seem to me that he is looking at the car! I have enlarged the image to check his eye position, although they are front-facing, yet I am feeling discomfort.
Story
'Are you ready, Graham?'
'Yes, sir, whenever you order, we can start our journey!' replied Graham.
'Alright then, check all systems for one last time.'
'Aye, aye, captain!' smiled Graham.
'Initiating the launch protocol. We will be the first ones to travel through the history of the world. How are you feeling, Graham? A bit nervous, I reckon?'
'You are right sir, but who would not be amazed and nervous to travel through time for the first time?'
'Although I have travelled a few times, I am still nervous because those were only 15-20 minutes; now we will be travelling thousands of years,' said Johnson, he also added, 'I have taken different clothing of different centuries to blend in and to not cause choas.'
That's so clever of you, sir. Where will we first travel?'
'Not where, say when,' laughed Johnson. Graham also joins him.
They have travelled to the age of dinosaurs and captured several images. From there, the Ice Age to the Age of Caveman.
They have walked on the paths of the Roman Empire and the French Revolution. They have seen Da Vinci and Shakespeare. On a whole, they travelled all the historical paths!
'If what you say about them is true, then can you show me any proof?' asked the Head of the Universal Justice System.
'Yes, my lord! This image is the proof of their time travel and breaking 543A Section 3b of the Rule of the Universe,' replied the attorney named Uutuub.
'I see nothing wrong with this image; clarify your claim.'
'See the left corner, sir; the guy in the hat is our agent, Xiuuxu, If you carefully observe behind him, you will see that a person is strictly looking behind him, and next to him, you will see another person peeking through our agent. Those two are Johnson and Graham!'
There was a pindrop silence in the Justice Center. All were shocked to know that a mere human was able to break the Universal Law and make a time machine.
'The ball is on your court, my lord; it is your decision whether to give them a painful death or a painless one.'
'They have broken one of the most important laws of the Universe, I hereby declare the elimination of ...'
'Wait sir! Before you pass your judgement, kindly hear me out,' a figure stood up.
'It is Aompom; it is Aompom,' almost all presented in the room started buzzing.
'All of you must not speak, let me hear what he has to say;' told Head of the Universal Justice System.
'Being on the 247th of the 250 races with intelligence, don't you think they have achieved something which only the 7 have achieved? I know that violating the prime law would result in the destruction of the planet Earth. But I personally think they deserve a place here in the Universe Justice Society. Kindly think about it before giving them virdict.'
With the juries, the Chief Justice discussed. Then all agreed to destroy the planet Earth but to observe it for several hundred years before granting them the position at the Universal Justice Society.
'And that is how the earth was saved. Now sleep, my little princes,' Adam kissed at the forehead of his little daughter Rebecca.
'How do you know about this?' asked Rebecca.
'That is a story for another night. Good night, my angel.'
