The Time Traveller

This world will come to an end so we better make the best of it, at least that's what Jacks Mum always said. Calmly, he walked towards the old abandoned bus stop. Who would have thought that day was today ...

Earlier today,
" Jack I'm sorry your Mum died. She was able to write the will though "  whispered Dad into Jack's ear.
Jack was crying too much to reply.
" It says she left with you her clock "Dad whispered back to Jack, handing him mum's old clock.
Jack thought to himself, was he really that worthless to Mum to not get anything good. All his cousins got way cooler stuff then he did.
" Well, do you want to take a stroll down the neighborhood " asked Jacks Dad.
Jack nods, putting his clock in his old bag.
Slowly, they both walk out of the hospital. Nobody was outside. The town looked abandoned. Jack wondered where'd everybody gone and seeing the look in Dads eye, he was thinking the same thing.
They wandered back to their house.
" Let's organise everything for your cousins " Dad suggested.
They rummaged through Jack's mum's stuff. Suddenly, he found a note.
It read
Dear my family, 
If you are reading this I must be dead. I knew this day would come. I need you to know that the day I die is an important day. It is the end of  your life and many others life. Jack, you should have my clock with you correct. It may look like an ordinary clock but it is actually a time machine. I need you to travel to the future. YOU CANNOT STAY IN THE PRESENT at least not for now. Once you're in the future, go to that old abandoned bus stop. It should be in the same spot it always is. You'll meet an old man named Dave. All you've got to do is hold the clock and think of where you want to go.
From: Kate Smith
He turned around to his dad. Instead there was a dead body.
Quickly he did as his mum said and after that he was teleported to the future.


Everything he saw was wrecked and in ruins. He walked towards the bus stop. In his sight was an old man who looked just as wrecked as the town.
" So, you're finally here Jack. Took ya long enough " the old man grumbled.
" You're Dave right " asked Jack.
" Yep, so Kate asked you to come meet me aye "
" Yeah but first can you answer some questions like what happened here "
" Don't worry I'll answer all your questions. Listen closely cause I won't repeat myself.
The thing is, your family holds this ancient artifact which is the time machine. It has been passed down from generation to generation. Once your mum got it from her mum she already made a promise to give it to you once she died. In that time the clock got damaged which caused the end of the world. When she died, it killed people off one by one which caused this town to become in ruins. Since you were the next time machine keeper you were protected by the clock "

"So what am I supposed to do now" Jack asked.
" I can fix the clock which will make all those people who died come back alive again"
Dave took the clock and quickly fixed it.
"Now go back just after your Mum died and try not to use this ever again "
" Thank you and farewell " Jack said as he teleported back.
He was back in the hospital.
" Well, do you want to take a stroll down the neighborhood " Dad whispered to him as if nothing happened.
Jack smiled.
"Yes!"
