It's 2139 and Charles Stimatra, head of the ITEDRC (International Time Exploration and Defense Research Company), has figured out a formula and machine enabling one person at a time to be transported to another time.
The glitch he is working on is the person can only be estimated where he will be when he gets transported. The closest they can get is three kilometers within the configured destination. Seven out of twenty three men have been lost and killed because one ended up inside a rock, another 300 feet in the air and the last got stuck in another person causing a time malfunction and creating an explosive object. The others whereabouts are unknown.
The other men went back again and tried to save as many from dying as they could because it could cause a chain reaction through history and completely change everything.
The future is a whole different matter. Since the future can always be changed, sending someone to the future could change the past.
Charles and his associates are not the only ones experimenting in time travel. These people are called hackers, which is why there are Time Police. They devote their lives to protecting the past. For example, if someone went back and killed Hitler, it could change everything. The Time Police stop these people from doing so.
Captain of the Time Police used to be Sergeant Carl Lamberg. He was one of the many that had to erase their identity and lives so they could protect the future of the human race. Which brings us to the story of how Carl died. How do I know? Because I am Carl Lamberg.
"Control, I'm ready to transmit. Confirm safety for time transport."
I let go of the intercom button and waited for the confirmation.
"This is Control, we confirm transport. You have the go ahead."
This is my thirteenth time and I still get nervous. I reach for the bottom of my shirt to wipe my forehead but the chair starts to shake and I end up in 1642 five feet above the ground. I drop and absorb the impact with my knees.
My mission is to find a gold transport to a king and stop a hacker from robbing it.
Hackers can easily kill people from the past because they use modern weapons, while the people they are robbing have to reload after every shot.
I brush myself off and set off down the road.
As time goes on, things change whether it is people or the things around them. Some can cope with the changes while others deny it and try their hardest to resist it. They refuse to acknowledge that things are no longer how they use to be and try to remain the same. They continue to stay in their own world where they can keep living in their memories. Sometimes people do this to uphold tradition and customs. Others do this because they do not want to stop reliving the past. In the stories ‘A Good

Holden ask himself if he wants to change or not. However, it is dangerous to resist change because nothing will happen to people if they resist change, the only thing constant in this world is change, therefore we should embrace it, and people will be stuck in the past if they do not let change happen. Nothing will happen to people if they resist change. After Mr. Spencer, Holden’s former teacher, asks Holden, a depressed teenager, about his future, Holden replies, “Oh, I feel some concern for my future
slams shut just as you begin to cross its threshold. Sometimes you spend hours, days, weeks, months, and even years, hoping that by some miracle of chance the door will open. Yes, it's true some merely rot away waiting for doors that have closed, stuck in their same simple mindset that solves nothing. If only they would try thinking in new ways, because maybe then they’d be able to open it. But no, It’s the same dreadful cycle of old thoughts, old ideas, and expired hope. These doors are the creators

perspective on boredom in a mall can change if one is stuck in the mall for over seven days. “No Safety in Numbers” written by Dayna Lorentz shows that being stuck in the mall can be not only boring but dangerous at the same time. The four protagonists, Shay, Marco, Ryan, and Lexi all have their own story to tell inside of the mall. On Saturday morning, a bomb was found attached to the air vents which caused chaos to occur in the mall. The senator at the time requested that the mall was quarantined to make
a full life cycle. You would be stuck at the top of the ferris wheel of life, so said Angus Tuck. Can you live with that? I bet you think you could. Well, how about having to watch your loved ones die. Its really hard to watch the people you love pass away. Honestly, that would suck. Everyone moving on experiencing life, except you. You would be filled with guilt and sadness of not being with your loved ones. You would be left alone, different friends all the time. In Tuck Everlasting, the man in

Gatsby being stuck in the past is when he says, “‘I’m going to fix everything just the way it was before,’ he said nodding determinedly. ‘She’ll see’”. These two quotes assisted in helping prove the theme not wanting change in their lives since Gatsby thinks the past can repeat itself and have him and Daisy spend the rest of their days together. Gatsby does not consider that when he and Daisy first met they were still young and careless. Gatsby does not take into account the time lapse from the
types of stories make me angry because most of the time they are literally about nothing and I am not patient enough to read them if they are pointless. This story was really frustrating to read because you have no idea what is going on throughout the story until you get to the end where all of the details come together. I can only be confused for so long until I give up on trying to figure it out. Raymond Carver wrote the short story Everything Stuck to Him and the ending is what really ties this story

Along with the miscommunications, the humans started guessing on what this creatures desires were.

Grendel after observing the world around him while
