The Time Machine
I felt I was going mad. I ran around hitting the bushes.
Crying and shouting, I went to the big stone building. It was
very dark inside. I found a hall with little people sleeping in
it. I woke them up and shouted, 'Where is my Time Machine?'
Some of them laughed loudly but most of them were scared.
It was bad to upset them, so I quickly ran outside. I was very worried. For hours !
looked for my Time Machine. At last I was so tired I fell asleep on the ground. When
I woke up there were birds near me on the grass. I was calmer now but what if
couldn't find the Time Machine? I could stay there and build another Time Machine
but it would be exhausting.
I decided to explore the area. I found an old house and went inside. It was very dark
and I couldn't see well. Suddenly, I stopped walking. There was someone in the
house. I could see the eyes shining in the dark. I put out my hand and touched
something soft. The eyes looked away and something grey ran past me fast. It
looked like an ape with red eyes and long arms. I followed the creature carefully.​
