Tuleg is a good narrator. Even though I hate him the most, I really admire his way of speaking and narration skills. It is the sole thing making me hear his words peacefully without thinking anything much. I have never thought that the hell opener would come and talk with me in such a manner. My imagination of his face and his attitudes were entirely wrong. The monstrous man in my dreams, even is a monster by what did to me, is not a monster on his attitude and behaviour. His words are being more and more mysterious with each sentence and my heart, in the same way, is being more and more anxious.
"Mr Oliver, I know that endeavouring to speak everything very fastly is not good for the listener to understand. Those things I have said are different events of the story I have to say. It includes the life incidents of you and me which will give you a different way of thinking. Your all misbeliefs will fade out and reality will rise upon you. Going through the shortcut may not ease my job. So I am gonna say all the things sequentially. From the first to the last. It's a long journey but contains all the information, problems and solutions. Only you have to keep concentration on my words for proper digestion."
I am ready to hear the story. I have to know what happened to me and how to get me out of this. I know nothing now but my mind says he can give me what I need. I sharpened my ears and opened my mind for the listening process to start.
"As I said early, the world Government decided to test the invention of the centuries effort on 2999 October. I was appointed to do the first ride. No one knows what will happen because they are not fully sure about success, nobody knows what will happen but they believe that this device, the sweat of thousands of scientists will do travel the time. Our system was not so much as you are thinking. It is just like a vehicle and we, the travellers only have to sit inside and turn the switch on. We can't choose a specific time nor do anything else than turn the switch on. The machine, if it will work, would bring us somewhere unknown. And the return is also not assured."
I couldn't stop myself from asking a question. Interrupting the flow of his speech, I asked in a loud voice:
"Do a government, with no surety, can do any experiment with a life?"
That question echoed the room and I saw Tuleg, The hell opener, being startled for the first time. His balls started moving slowly from side to side which indicates that he is being thinking about something deep and that is hurting him. He looked straight at my eyes for a little time and continued his speech without considering what I said. I didn't ask anything again because I know he is hiding something. Something which is a very important matter for him.
"I was selected and they gave me training on many things including the languages used in earlier times. That's how I learned your language. Both are English but with very differences. Thus a novice, me, travelled my first trip. A trip traversing the time. My first trip made me popular but no one is sure about my return. My first, no, it's better to say the first time travelling ever in the world reached me, the first time traveller, to your home. On that night you first saw me! Later it came clear that your experiment was the cause that made me land there. The special magnetic force and the radiations emitted by your device attracted my time machine and brought me to that time, to the second it formed out."
In my mind, something happiness or wonder or amazement began opening its feather to fly onto the sky of pride or something I can't explain. But I suppressed it. Moreover, anxiety overrode it.
"Oliver, if you haven't done that experiment I may not be able to reach nowhere. I would have been trapped in the space. Our concept of time travelling was real foolishness. The man who starts our time machine can only reach the time-space, can't open any door of any time or go anywhere. When we use that time machine, the door of our time only opens and the time machine, without a proper destination, will flow endlessly on the time-space. I was too gonna trapped but your special magnetism and the radiations opened the door to your time. Thus the machine automatically moved into your time. As soon as I reached there in your home, within some seconds, the time machine automatically came back to another time with not only me but also you! And whatsoever happened after were removed from your memory by our scientists."
My anxiety reached the apex position which made me shout out "what happened then". Tuleg, with a laugh, started saying again:
"Then all the problems begin!
The time machine brought us to a jungle. A dense forest! But the predicament wasn't about the forest but about you. After wondering for a little time, you acted the same as you did a few whiles early which made me lead my way to lock you with these cuffs. You were very scared and totally screwed up by the matter going around. It caused you mad at me saying I am responsible for all these things. I couldn't able to settle you, I couldn't able get any time to explain to you all the things, rather, you didn't make me talk anything. Without knowing you are in another time, you ran away from me finding the way out of that dark, terribly wooded forest. I ran a little distance behind you trying to convince but you were fast enough to get out of my sight. I lost you but I don't care because I don't know who you are and not to do anything with you. So I simply went to the machine and tried to start getting out of there. But battery betrayed me. Our machine's all the charge got fully drained by the two-time travellings. I was scared a lot. If that was a primitive time I couldn't be able to get any energy source to charge the Time machine but God helped me. That time wasn't anything that I thought. While looking up through the gaps of the clusters of leaves, I saw an aircraft flying through the sky. By the architectural model of the air traveller, I understood the time is in between 2600 and the world twist. But I never hoped that we are in the exact same year 2651, the year when the world twist happened!
My next aim was to find an energy source to charge up my machine. I could never move that weight. So, I decided to take some batteries here. And this machine would only do at least one trip if it has more than ten lack watts of energy. But in 2600s, such batteries are available there but would weigh at least fifty Kilograms. So I went off at first to find the way out of that jungle.
