As I sat there in my time machine, I was amazed as the years flew by me at a near incompressible blur, whirling all around me I saw the city I called home be built up to the point that the towers seems to touch the clouds! I watched as automobiles became more and more common, replacing the horse entirely, much to my disappointment I will admit, the horse is a fine animal. But I digress.
I watched the city suffer through storms and catastrophe, economic failure and success, and all the while it seemed as though I could not get enough of watching the world change around me, and the longer I watched, I was simultaneously upset. Men and women wore less formal and professional clothing as time wore on, and even more skin exposed altogether!
More than once I saw a woman only wearing what looked like a bra on her torso, and what appeared to be torn men's pants! The shame of it all! But I must progress further! I must find out if the future will recover the morals and values it has lost, or are we doomed to watch our values degrade like the mighty stone against the ocean?
I increased the speed, absorbing countless hundreds and thousands of years in moments, but I fear that the temporal distortion was too much for my 3rd dimensional brain, unaccustomed to traveling through the 4th dimension we recognize as time. For you see, I ended up becoming quite faint, and I knew not how far forward I had was being projected until I awoke and looked at the dial.
"871,925 AD!" I exclaimed once I brought the machine to a temporal halt. Looking outside, I did not see anything beyond a smooth stone slab, carved with various symbols indecipherable to myself, having missed exactly 870,000 years of human advancement and development. It was even quite possible that English as I knew it no longer existed!
I opened the machine and stepped out to see what lay before me, to explore beyond a time even thought of.
