It's the middle of the night. A bright flash. A young boy appears out of nowhere. In his hands he carries a strange silver rod. large amounts of energy radiates from the rod. "What the hell? Why do you insist on taking me to randome times???" The boy scolds the rod. "Oh well, guess this will have to do," and he runs off into the night.
"Elliot!!! You're in big trouble, mister!" My mom started scolding me from downstairs. "Look at this mess! Elliot, you come down here and clean up your catastrophy RIGHT NOW!!!" "Coming mom..." I said, annoyed that my morning rest had been disturbed. I came down and there were sausages EVERYWHERE! Stuck to the walls, glued to the ceiling, clogging the sink, they were absolutely everywhere! "What the hell? I didn't do this!" I told my mom. "Well, somebody did, and you're the only other person living here, and I know I didn't do it!" Mom yelled at me. "Whatever. I'll be late for school if I have to clean this mess. " "Fine, then clean it up after school!" she told me. I responded, "do you really want to wait 7 HOURS for me to clean this? think about it mom. Flies, mosquitoes, and not to mention a terrible odor!" she sighs, "fine, I'll do it myself. But where the hell did all these sausages come from?" "Beats me!" I said, as I walked out the door to go to school. I was greeted by an army of giant sausage creatures. "Uh, Mom? I think I know where the sausages came from!"
The sausage creatures came closer to me. They surrounded the entire house and were ready for a nice little-boy-n-mother breakfast. "Well, what a way to go. Death by sausages!" I thought to myself. All of a sudden, one of the monsters dissappeared! Behind it was another kid with a silver rod. "Take THAT, slime ball!" He exclaimed. He stabbed the sausages with his silver rod, causing them to dissappear. He did this until all the monsters had either vanished or fled.
"Well, that was a bit of a tight squeeze you got yourself into!" he said to me. "The name's William! Who are you?" He asked me. "uh..." I said to him. I was still sort of shocked by what just happened. "uh, huh? Strange name! never met someone named 'uh'!" he joked. "uh, my name's Elliot." I told him. "well, Elliot, glad to meet you! How's your day been so far?" he casually asked. "Well, aside from the fact that I almost got EATEN, it's been pretty good. but seriously, how did you do that?" I asked him. "oh, it's quite simple, actually! I stab them with the ytachon, press the button, and let go. This activates the particle accelerator. When the particle collide, they form a tachyon, or faster-than-light particle. The tachyon then pulls the ytachon and the monster into the fabric of time and space. Ordinarrily, the ytachon and the monster would land in a different time. However, since these guys are made of sausages, it rips straight through them while traveling, abondoning them in the fabric of time and space. I then use my time gloves to pull the ytachon out of the fabric." He explained. "So, you're a time traveler?" I asked him. "no, more like a time tumbler at this point. Every time I use the ytachon, it takes me to a randome time! I've been tubling through the time stream for weaks, now!" He responded. "Fortunatly, I apparently have landed in the middle of a time bug infestation---" I cut him off in mid sentence. "Time bug? dude, they're giant sausages, not bugs!" He said, "Elliot, that's where you're wrong! They ARE bugs. They just love reanimating dead substances. Now, as I was saying, I've landed in the middle of a time bug infestation. Time bugs are exactly what I need! I can study them and figure out how to control the ytachon! Oh, there's one!" He exclaimed, looking down at his feet. He picked it up in a jar. "Come on! follow me! I'll show you where my current lab is!" he beckoned. "ok." I replied.
"Well, here's my lab!" William exclaimed as we came up to a large tree with a door carved into it. "c'mon! I'll show you around!" We entered the tree, which turned out to be much larger on the inside than on the outside. "Wow! How did you do this?" I asked William. "Simple, Elliot! You see that blue box over there? Well, that is a multi-dimensional cube. It can carry all of this. Whenever I leave for a new time, I always pack everything in there, take it with me, and unpack it in a suitable location!" He told me. "wow, the future is truly amazing!" I said. Then he said, "Now, who said I was from the future? I'm actually from the latter half of the 20th century! All this technology was created by me!" "Wow, that's even more amazing!" I exclaimed. "Now, to put this little time bug under the scanner." he announced.
several minutes later...
"I've got it!" William exclaimed. "I just need to control what charge the tachyon is, which is as simple as turning on a light! I can't beleave I never thought of that before! Man, I feel dumb! Now, to get rid of the time bugs." "how are you gonna do that?" I asked him. "oh, simple! with my handy-dandy time-te-cide!" "time-te-cide? what's that?" I asked. He said, "well, it's sort of like pesticide, except it only works on time bugs. I'll just make a blanket of it to cover the entire infested area, and then I'll be on my way!" He then hooked up two large tanks up to the wall, pressed a button, and then the time-te-cide covered the entire city. "That's it?" I asked. "Yup, that's it! Now, Elliot, It's been great to meet you, but I think it's time to say goodbye." he said. So he packed his lab, activated the ytachon, and vanished. I was about to exit the tree when all of a sudden, there was a great flash of light! William stood their and asked, "Did I mension it can carry more than one person?"
