Ancestor

While running to his house Stuart laughed with joy.

“Finally I did it”, Stuart felt pride of himself. Carefully he took the time machine from his pocket. It was the result of his experiments for years and years. As the needle in the machine move slowly he smirked like a maniac.

He wanted go forward, wanted know what will happen in the future. And here is the machine that will take him to future. The grey hairs on his head proved him as an experienced scientist.

Stuart moved to his courtyard, and put a chair there. He turned the needles of the time machine, faster and faster. He felt as if he was getting carried away by the strong wind, as if flying over the lands.

Stuart felt suffocated; the oxygen content was lowering moment by moment. He got scared to go further, further to the unknown world. He ceased turning the needles.

The wind lowered, but still carrying him in its powerful arms. The next moment he was thrown away to a bare land.

“Hey look at him”, Stuart blinked his eyes to recognize who is talking near to him.

There was no sign of humans, the land seemed deserted with rock like texture. His eyes longed for a color which is not a shade of grey. He felt as if some colors have got ripped off from the color spectrum.

Stuart felt strange. He looked at himself, at his wrinkled skin. Age and his hard work have taken its toll on his health.

“In the absence of time machine, I might ve been dead.”, thought Stuart while coughing and staring at the creatures in front of him.

They were shorter than his knees, with a long tail, with fur covering the entire body. They were carrying small sleek object, something which can reflect light.

“This is very rare u know, look at his face”, the young creature among them giggled.

“Whats happening here? “, While asking this Stuart tried to keep his voice calm, but it came out as a roar.

“And now, here is the proof for Irvin’s theory of Evolution. We evolved from gigantic humans, who didn’t have tail” . Stuart sat there agape, as the strange object with them was focused straight at him.

“Camera On, Lights.. “, someone shouted from his back.

Staring at the sleek-advanced-camera, Stuart, the great ancestor of the planet held his time machine tight.
