Curious, he wondered what sort of story this was. The writer was a familiar name, but the tale...
This was a man known simply as the Time Traveler. He would regale his dinner guests about a jump he took nearly a million years into the future, meeting the Eloi and the Morlocks, what had happened to earth in all of that time and his attempts to communicate with them both. At one point, this person's machine was stolen, and...
Well. He wasn't going to know how it ended tonight. Lucifer's snicker at earth becoming like a garden in a million years (sure, if humans ever got their shit together) was one indicator that he was still conscious, but that was about the long and the short of it. As the Traveler returned, told his tale and wasn't believed, only to disappear on another adventure, this listener's breaths had evened out, and eventually the king was very quietly snoring.
In his mind's eye, he was putting together his own time machine. What would the planet look like in 800,000+ years...?
