THE DOOR | Messing with the time

EVERYONE WANTS TO CHANGE THE PAST, BUT THE FUTURE HOLDS SOMETHING GREAT THAT YOU'VE NEVER WOULD HAVE IMAGINED…

LET THE PAST GO AWAY AND LIVE FULLY IN THE PRESENT WITH WHAT YOU HAVE…

Alex was a scientist. Alex spent his half-life inventing the time machine. And when he was 40 years old, he was able to create a time machine. But that was not a time machine, because when he was experimenting on the time machine, something happened and that machine locked to something that Alex was initially not able to understand and when he finally knew it.

Then…

Alex was five years old when his parents died in the car accident, leaving him alone with his aunt who's not so nice to him. His aunt started to treat him like a servant. She used to make him do all the chores. Alex used to cry very often, thinking about why his parents died and left him alone, and he always used to believe that incident had never happened. Alex was a brilliant student; despite everything, he concentrates more on his studies. Alex's parents left him a fortune behind but made his aunt an attorney, but Alex had no idea about it. His aunt just used his money and in return, made him do all the work.

When Alex was 13 years old, he came across a book in which he read about the time machine. After reading, he got so inspired by that fiction theory of the time machine, that he decided to build a time machine so he could stop his parents' deaths. When he completed his high school studies, his parents' friend (a lawyer) came to him and told him everything about his fortune because his aunt was the attorney to his wealth at the time, he would not complete his school studies. When Alex completed his high school studies, he decided to leave his aunt's house. He graduated from college to major in physics when he was 21 years old, and then he applied for the master's in the physics department to study quantum physics. In those four years, he solely focused on the study that was going to help him build his time machine. When he was 25 years old, he completed his master's. After completing his studies, he came back to his home and started his research. He gathered all his knowledge for building the time machine. He broke all contact with the outside world.

He spent all those 15 years in the lab building the time machine.

While researching, he came across some dark things that may change if he will mess with time, and Alex knew that if he will mess with time, then it's going to change his future. But he overlooks everything and is just focused on the time machine. When Alex was 40 years old, Alex managed to build the time machine. He made his machine on the door, which will allow him to travel through time; the door, which will take Alex to the future. The door will take Alex to the past. He set devices on that door, and those devices were going to help him select the specified time, date, and location.

On a Monday morning, exactly 8am he decided to test his time machine, and before testing, he thought of something to do beforehand so he could travel to the past to fix that. He broke his mirror before testing, and finally at 8am he started time machine testing. He sets the date, time, and location, and he fired the time machine. The time machine runs successfully; we went back to the time he stopped that incident from happening (the one when he broke the mirror), and when Alex came back, he found the glass intact.

Resulting in his time machine working successfully.

But the moment he touched that mirror, a sudden sparkling started inside the time machine's door. The door opened automatically, and he (Alex himself) walked out of that door, but he didn't notice the present Alex. He walked towards the mirror and broke it and went back to the door. Before closing the door, he looked back and said you messed with the time now the time will mess with you. Just wait and see what will happen. The Alex who walked through the door closed the door, and the moment he closed that door the time machine blasted. Due to the blast, Alex lost consciousness.

When Alex opened his eyes, he found the time machine set to two different timelines, one for the past and one for the future. He panicked and tried to cut the power supply, but no use machine was still running. He blows up the door with gun powder, but the moment it blew time machine took him back when he fell unconscious.

He tried again, but the same thing happened. It was like a repeat and play. After many tries, he understands that this is something he can't change as of now. He got depressed, and then the time machine set its first time for the past. When the door opened, he saw himself in that door. He saw himself setting the time on the time machine to change his past, and that was the same time when he tested his time machine for the first time.

He saw himself through that door-breaking mirror in the past, and the moment he saw himself stopping that mirror from breaking in the past, the door closed automatically. After some time the time machine door was again set to the time, but this time it was for the future. When the time came, the door opened, and he again saw himself sitting in front of the door, all panicked. He saw himself walking out of that door, breaking that mirror, and walking back in the door, and before closing the door, he (Alex himself) said to himself, "YOU MESSED WITH THE TIME, AND NOW THE TIME WILL MESS WITH YOU", and the door closed.

Alex was watching everything through the door from the present.

The time machine door closed automatically and the time machine stopped in the present. Alex got frightened. He wasn't able to handle that pressure, so he fell into consciousness.

After precisely 12 hours the time machine sets the time, date, and location for the past automatically; and when the time comes, the door opens, and he saw the same past which was shown to him by the time machine the other day. After that, the time machine stopped, and when the time machine set the future date, time, and location, the time machine showed him the same thing as the other day.

That thing started to happen with Alex every day. By the time Alex was able to understand that every 12 hours, the time machine would be going to do the same thing.

Alex starts to think about the time machine and how he can stop this. He realized by that time that he got stuck in the time. He rests studied everything, he recalculated everything, but he got nothing. One day he was thinking about everything, and suddenly he realized something about the time. Whenever Alex walked out of the door to break that mirror, he said something looking back, but he didn't tell Alex who was sitting in front of him. He said, looking straight like he was saying to the current Alex.

The next day when the time machine set the time for the future and when Alex from the door of the future said, "YOU MESSED WITH THE TIME NOW THE TIME WILL MESS WITH YOU" Alex looked closely and listened to that Alex. When he looked closely at the door, he noticed that the time, date, and location were the same as the present from which Alex was watching everything.

He realized that the Alex who walked out through that door was himself, and he was asking the present Alex to understand that.

The next day, when the time machine sets the time for the future, and the moment the time machine fired. Alex held the knob and opened the door by himself in the present. He opened the door partially and looked back, and when he looked back, he got stunned; he couldn't believe his eyes.

When Alex looked back, he saw millions of Alex holding that knob on the door.

He looked back to the front of the door (Alex was so scared), and he went in through the door. When he reached the other side of the door, he found himself alone in his room. He checked that mirror, and the glass was intact. He checked the time machine, and it was not fired or tested yet. He checked the date and then he realized that the time had brought him back to where it all started.

He decided to destroy the time machine because by that time he knew that if he could've saved his parents from that accident, then they would've been stuck in time.

"Where they didn't get to live or die."

He destroyed the time machine and decided to not mess with time again. He burned all his research and destroyed everything related to that time machine. He walked out of his home, and he took a deep breath, and he promised himself that, "NOT TO THINK ABOUT THE PAST BUT TO LIVE MORE FOR THE BETTER FUTURE HE HAS"…

EVERYONE WANTS TO CHANGE THE PAST FOR SOME REASON, BUT THE FUTURE HOLDS SOMETHING GREAT THAT YOU'VE NEVER IMAGINED…

LET THE PAST GO AWAY AND LIVE FULLY IN THE PRESENT WITH WHAT YOU HAVE…
