Well it has been some time since I whipped out the time machine
I found last year. I haven't touched it in such a long time, I guess I've just been busy living in this time. And I still don't understand how it works. So a gave it a little bash, as you do, just to see where I'd end up...
I don't think I was even on Earth this time. The forests were so dense, and damp, like rainforesty but filled with plants like I'd never seen before. Many of them extended like tentacles with glowing tips in the darkness of the thick canopy. Bugs everywhere, some familiar looking, some not so. I was standing in mud, as I went to take a step my shoe practically stuck to the ground. I attempted to gain higher ground by climbing onto the woody roots of one of the massive trees that reached so high up I could hardly see where it became the leaves of the canopy.
As I clinged to my perch amongst the roots I noticed movement out of the corner of my eye. The oddest creature was sitting on a low hanging branch, dangling by nothing but it's long tail. It had massive front mantis-like arms with only small back legs that had spindly fingers. A face that only a mother could love that was short with strange long nose whiskers that stuck up that reminded me of a bat. Its skin was a rich dark green and it was shiny, probably moist. Four tiny yellow eyes right near the front of it's snout and it's body was decorated with tendrils similar to the plants it was hiding amongst. It certainly didn't look like something that had parents from my time.
I listened to it call, it's tendrils shuddered as it let out high pitched squeals. They hurt my ears. I definately did not feel the need to stay in such a strange place any longer and bleeped my way home with the machine. I am left wondering, is this thing a time travel device, or was that another world too? The first attempt still had the remnants of human civilization but that place was just...
I remember why I haven't touched it in so long...
