- 1. Stepping Into a Time Machine By: Sameer Zakharia and Ruanne Nortje
- 2. The Beginning - 1805 Mark has always been interested in history, he studied history and mastered it for over 20 years. He was a scientist too. One day he found out that his ancestor has died in a war that he wasn’t supposed to fight, a battle which he got backstabbed in. Mark has always wanted to go back and save his great ancestor.
- 3. Nonstop Attempts Everyday, he tried new methods to make his machine work, but no results, until one day he decided to travel and seek scientists who might help him reach his goals. New scientists, new explorers, no success, no one could help him, no one bothered, they thought he was crazy.
- 4. A Day with the Gypsy He traveled across the countries until he got to the east of Arabia. Walking through the desert, he reached a pond where he stopped to have a drink of water. He washed his face with the water. Then he looked in front of him and he saw a tent with a camel outside of it. He ran to the tent and entered, he saw a gypsy with a crystal ball. He asked her if he was ever going to meet his ancestor, and save him from the war. The crystal ball showed him that he eventually will.
- 5. Clues Arising . As Mark continued his journey, he entered the borders of Egypt and took a ride to Alexandria. He visited a lot of scientists and experts and finally found what he was looking for.. One scientist finally agreed to join Mark in his campaign to free his great ancestor from that dishonorable backstab. Mark and the scientist started talking out a plan to make the machine work.
- 6. Reckless The work on the time machine has started and both the scientists were concentrating a lot on the project. It worked, they both achieved their goal and the time machine was finally ready to shoot whoever is inside it back into time. They were both very happy and proud of themselves, but what they didn’t know is weather Mark will be able to go back into the future or not. They stayed discussing this story for about 3 days until finally Mark has decided that he wanted to save his ancestor and stay living with him till they both die, he wanted to discover and new life and live with it’s dangers and consequences.
- 7. Conflict Mark couldn’t wait, he got ready for the travel, took a pistol with him and ran inside the machine, the scientist asked Mark if he could join. Mark accepted and they both got inside the machine, they pressed the activate button and were zapped into the middle of a nuclear war! The scientist accidentally forgot to switch the time to past, and there they were, stuck in a futuristic nuclear war.
- 8. Shelter They ran behind a flipped car, and realized that there was a trapdoor. They opened it and went inside, it was empty. They spent the night there. When the war noises faded away they went out to see how it going outside. It was all clear, but dust was covering the whole area.
- 9. The End Mark opened his eyes to find himself in his bed. This has all been just a nightmare that has ended in an undecided conclusion. He learnt that time machines could be possible to build. He also learnt that there are going to be nuclear wars in the future
