The Worst Time Travelling Experience Ever!

I was whammed down in the middle of a street. People looked at me as if I were a crazy person and in return, I looked at them as if they were insane. The women were wearing weird frocks or were they petticoats? Well, this does not look like the future so...it must the past. I got up and turned around, a shop’s board read “the latest clothes for you- LONDON COLLECTION 1820”. London...in the 1800’s? Seriously, the time machine wanted to go to London at this time? Now if I am here, I might as well look around London of the 1800’s.  

As I walked around, I saw a wide array of things, children hardly 10 or 12 years of age working in factories, the area was full of dirt, women with the weird petticoats were roaming near tailor shops probably sewing. While seeing, I suddenly smelled something bad, drainage, sewers? God help me! 

 

 

Suddenly, the whooshing sensation tingled my body. Not again!  

 

Future – 2045 

I was again whammed down in the middle of a street. This time, people did not look as if they thought I was insane, they spoke it! “Hey dude, why are you lying on the road like this? You have gone mad?” said one “dude.” I ignored him and stood up. I looked around; it was a like a paradise! The road was brightly lit up with solar lamps, there were trees everywhere with the aroma of its flowers spreading everywhere. The shops were well guarded. No possibility of any robberies? Cool. As I moved forward, I saw that the future which we think we will experience will never happen! Humans have evolved, we in the future, use all eco-friendly materials, global warming is still an issue but not a huge conflict. Animals and other species are treated as equals, we have finally achieved world peace and all the countries are working and helping each other to pass through any condition whatsoever. The thing which surprises me the most is that this place is Mumnapu – a merge of Mumbai and Pune city, free from corruption, overpopulation, and all other problems.  

 

 

Epilogue 

Soon, the whooshing sound came yet another time. I, this time prepared made no protest and let it take me to my next destination. Boom! Here I was, but where was I? This place looks like it is going to die, I needed to escape! stupid time machine, why did I even think of time-travelling? This is the worst thing that has happened to my life! Some help, please?
