The future

It all started when I was coming back from playing football. While passing through a place, suddenly I slipped and fell into a hole, at the end I reached a lab. There were a lot of machines. Suddenly, an explosive sound broke the silence. I went inside to see what happened. I saw a man working on a machine. That man asked me, “What are you doing here? How did you come here?” That man had a lot of questions. Then I stopped him and asked him, “What is this place?” He told me that it was a laboratory. I was very excited to hear and started exploring the place, and also few machines. Then I tripped on a can and I fell inside of a machine. I clicked some button and the machine started moving round and round, taking turns and suddenly stopped. As I did not understand much about it, I went out of the door and was completely surprised to see the whole place around me. My eyelids flickered; I was completely shocked to see that the whole place had changed. I winked and tried to look at everything clearly but what I saw was that there were different cars, I could not see the ground. Then from someone, I came to know that the year was 2068. I had understood that the machine was a time machine and I came 50 years ahead. I freaked out. Then I felt very hungry, I went in search of food and found a hotel luckily. I had some money but the man in the hotel could not accept it for the currency was so old. Then I ran back to the time machine and started clicking random buttons, the machine started moving round and round and it stopped when I went out of the door.    I came back to the same laboratory, the place from where I set off. Then that man asked me, “Where were you all this time?” I told him, “I went on a ride in the time machine.” Then he was quite confused to get the answer, as he tried out a lot many times, but the machine did not respond.   “What!! The time machine works! Is it?” But I did not continue with other details, rather gave a grin and left the place.

Thank you
