Chapter 10 (Woohoo! Double digits!)

As the Time Traveler sat in the exact location at which he sat when he first arrived, he laughed at what he first thought the future to be. He reflected and concluded that at some point in human history, there must have been a time of peace and perfect harmony. He also believed that intelligence came with danger, problems, and necessary change. This is why when life was problem less and needed no change, human intellect quickly decreased. When the creatures of the under-world needed another source of meat, they simply turned to their instincts which they believed allowed such a thing. Waking up before sunset, the Time Traveler headed to the White Sphinx and found that the pedestal's bronze panels were open, and at the corner of the small apartment sat the Time Machine. As he approached his Time Machine, the bronze panels shut creating complete darkness. The Morlocks came upon him. He pulled out a match only to find that he could not light it without the box. The Time Traveler hurriedly climbed into his Time Machine, and off he went.
