Somewhere far in the middle east, Eric Baster cleaned his face with his white handkerchief that looked nothing close to white. The sun in the desert where he stayed was hot enough to cook a bacon. He stared at the formulars he had written on the board right in front of him.
“This should work, it has to”. Eric said to himself as he looked at the time machine he had spent the last seven years of his life building. He had come to the open desert, far in the middle east where no one would question him or his dangerous works.
“No one was going to stop him from saving her, no one”. Eric continued talking to himself as he remembered seven years ago when he had received a call he wished he never answered.
Eric, a college physics teacher was in school, getting ready to close for the day when his phone rang.
“Mr Baster, I'm sorry to report to you that your wife was involved in a car accident”. The police officer at the other end of the phone had said.
When Eric got to the site where the accident had happened, the ambulance had already taken the body of his pregnant wife to the morgue but Eric could still see some small particles of her in the damaged car.
If only he had stopped her from going to the hospital that morning, she would still be here with him, alive.
At her funeral, Eric had promised to do everything in his power to bring her back to life. Everyone at the funeral had thought it was just the words of a bereaved husband but after about a year when Eric sold everything he had just to make sure his plans came to reality, they all knew he had gone crazy.
"Time to prove them wrong and bring my girls back" Eric said, referring to his wife and their daughter who his wife was carrying in her womb.
He pushed a button and the machine came to life but nothing happened. “No no no no.. Not again!! ” Eric screamed out in frustration. As he approached the machine to turn it off, a sudden white bright light came out of the machine, almost blinding him.
He immediately shaded his eyes from it before slowly opening it.. “Yes! Yes yes yes... I'm coming from you baby”. Eric said as he stepped into the shining bright light.
