Trapped in Time

What would happen if you got stuck in Time? Zia has completed her Ph.D. in Botany and has applied for the post of lecturer/ Professor. She joins a High school as a temporary teacher and is entrusted with the task of leading a group of ten students on a trekking /camping expedition. On the way they meet a guy who seems to be a trouble maker but later, he proves to be a pillar of strength. Early morning their camp is attacked by Bears and they flee taking a different route. But they are lost. They enter a lost world where people are living, in hiding, for over 250 years. Their technology is much advanced as compared to ours. Their world is called ‘Utopia’ but now it is changing due to an oppressive ruler, meaning the ills of our world have manifested in Utopia too. They are trapped in the time of this hidden world and want to help the people there fight against the oppressive ruler and his cronies. The oppressive ruler wants to make a number of Time Machines by using the brains of the scientists who died in harness at the site of the experiments. They all decide to help the good citizens of ‘Utopia’ the lost world. The huge brains are destroyed and the Orbs of the scientists escape from the huge pulsating Brain to help them in their mission of destroying the Huge brains at other centers. In this process, the crystals that are used in the hypnotizing guns are almost finished and to get more they split up to go to the 'Magical World' through a curtain which is actually a portal. The Magical World is a flat man made Earth-like satellite, which was made as a joke to taunt the scientists 7000 years ago, and which is still operational. Here they meet the inhabitants. They are fascinated with the advancement of science especially the talking chips and the flying cars. They see a completely different world where animals, plants, rocks, water etc. can talk. Before you touch anything you need to seek permission. They also meet the Aliens called the 'Crocodile Race' who have come to the Magical World (the flat satellite) to get supplies. They see a spaceship being guided to land by the scientists of the Magical World. They also see the inside of the mountain where the controls are situated which help in maintaining the environment of the Magical World. They get an invite from the Aliens to visit ‘Titan’ the satellite of Saturn where the Crocodile race has settled. At present they are on the mother Ship going to Titan. **************************** Will try to post a chapter in a week now.

Flashback Utopia (Part 6)

The entire cave was a replica of that at Town M and Town I. Mono, surrounded by a few Orbs, pulled the wire with his left foot and pressed the red button with his right hand. As in the last two Time Machine experiments, a lot of sparks were seen coming out of the machines and the huge brain. The noise was also being emitted and the huge brain shriveled up to the size of a tennis ball. Here also all the machines stopped functioning and a white cloud engulfed them. Soon the cloud subsided but the machines were destroyed beyond repairs. The two telephone booths like containers were destroyed too and shattered glass could be seen inside. These were now impossible to be used. The computer terminals which were wired to the brain had also burnt up.

A cracking sound was heard from the shriveled brain and here also 25 blobs of white light came out. About 10 Orbs 5 from Town M and 5 Town I moved to the shriveled brain to receive them. These 10 Orbs communicated with the Orbs that had come out from the shriveled brain for about 10 minutes and these 25 Orbs joined the 100 Orbs. Now there were a total of 125 Orbs in total comprising 75 from Town M, 25 from Town I and the most recent 25 from Town J. These 125 Orbs were dancing around as if they were happy to meet the old friends and relatives who had been trapped in the huge brain here. There was a strange humming type of sound emitting from the excited Orbs which were jumping about.

This time Mono did not have to tell the Orbs to ensure everything was destroyed including the dead brain contained the first brain around which the Time machine experiment had been built. The Orbs moved around with lightning speed throughout the entire cave raising electric current and sparks of electricity to hit at all the computer terminals. Soon the computer terminals were burnt beyond recognition. The shriveled brain was also injected with a dose of electric current by a few of these Orbs in a combined exercise. As a result, the shriveled brain was burnt up beyond recognition. The blueprints and the old computers in the storeroom were also destroyed.

Mono again remembered that they had not properly destroyed the Time Machine at Town M as they did in Town I and Town J. But never mind, they would be passing that cave when they finish all their tasks. Thereafter, they would destroy everything that was not fully destroyed and proceed to rescue the political prisoners and scientists locked up in the jail of Town M. Actually, the Orbs would love to destroy the experiment or anything connected with it. The experiment was nothing but torture for the Orbs even after death; their loved ones were always agitated about this fact.

The 25 Orbs came back after their work was completed and Mono said that they now needed to proceed to the Jail area. All the 125 Orbs proceed to the Jail area, 100 protecting the group and 25 Orbs just released were to lead the way. This was because they belonged to this town and knew their way around the Town. They also knew the shortest route to the Jail of Town J were the innocent scientists were held. In the prison compound adjacent to the scientists were jailed those persons who had protested against the wrong policies of the Administrator and his cronies.

The same things happened as in town I. All the locks opened as soon as the Orbs had surrounded the gate. They first went to the reception area and found the records of the 20 scientists, who had been arrested quite some time back for refusing to work on the Time Machine experiment. They also located the records of the 15 political prisoners. The Orbs did a memory scan of the lists of scientists and the political prisoners and thereafter destroyed the entire records. All the attendants there were statues and were not aware of anything that was happening.

The Orbs then split into five groups. One group remained to surround them, another group floated to the compound of the 20 scientists. The third group moved to the compound that lodged the 15 political prisoners. The fourth group remained at the reception and the fifth bigger group moved to the local administrator's building which housed the local administrator and his cronies. The Administrator and all his cronies, frozen in position as statues, were in office as it was morning time.

The Orbs hypnotized the scientists and the political prisoners to make them walk out of jail and into their homes where they would become statues again. They were to remain in their homes till someone by the name of Mono contacted them. They were not to go anywhere or have any contact with anyone for a week. Since their benefactors had their names and addressed as well as phone numbers, they would be contacted shortly.

Thereafter the scientists left for their respective homes. As they had been hypnotized they managed to walk but became statues as soon as they entered their homes. The same thing happened with the political prisoners. They also became statues upon reaching their homes.

The fifth group made their way to the local Administrator's office. Here another Orb held a similar thin lit torch like apparatus and hypnotized the local Administrator and his colleagues. They were asked to head for the jail. This was a convenient way to move everyone as carrying them would have taken a long time. If you can hypnotize then why do so much work?

They, in turn, followed the directions of the Orb and made their way to the jail and entered the 'political prisoners' compound of the jail. As soon as the local Administrator and his cronies landed up in their cells, they became statues. The gates closed behind the new prisoners. New records with names and other details were created by the fourth group of Orbs at the reception and these were kept in the reception area as the new records.

The Orbs were very clever; after all, they were the energies of scientists, so it was understandable.

They had accomplished their work successfully in Town J also and since it was only 11.30 am they decided to proceed to Town K straight away.
