Finally, Vikram made it. He made a real time machine.
He finally made the device by which atoms could travel through time.
He was excited. He took his bike. He revved it and started his journey from his lonely place to city to bring out a final item. He brought it out of the stinking garage filled with mice.
When he was half way to his destination, a small bandicoot obstructed. He applied breaks.
Nothing
The breaks failed. The bike went over the bandicoot and the tyres skidded over the soft flesh and skin.
The bike continued in motion even after Vikram was thrown away, but in sleeping posture.
After 2 days
He was in the hospital in the city. Karan was waiting out side. The doctor discharged him. He was being taken to Karan’s house. Karan then said out, “Doctor told me not to tell this to you as this may cause anxiety in you, but I should… I should man… ”
“Tell the damn matter. ”
“The breaks failure saved you man. Someone fixed a TNT in the bike. After you were thrown away, the TNT exploded man… ”
“And the brakes? What happened? ”
“I don’t know….. But seems like the break wire’s cut… So…”
Vikram gave a grave stare at him. He said nothing but then slept. After waking up, he told”Take me to my place, I need to find who kept the TNT.”
“How? ”
Vikram, washing his face turned his face towards Karan and said, “I figured it out man. I made it. ”
Karan gave a astonished look.
In Vikram’s house
They reached it. They kept the last adjustment and ran the circuit.
The machine seemed right and had no flaws anywhere.
“Ok, it’s working! “, exclaimed Vikram.
Vikram went inside and started strucking few keys. The machine looked like a wardrobe with no door and top. It had may keys all over and had a modern chimney like thing in one corner.
Karan was excited and rubbed his hands. ” I’m coming”
“No,Grab the shotgun AND come in. ”
Karan nodded in excitement and brought the shotgun from an old case. He threw it to Vikram. Karan stepped in and Vikram pressed a key named LAUNCH.

***********************************
Before two days
Karan was standing beside Vikram. The machine silenced after a long cry.
Vikram took out the part and fixed it to the machine.
Karan gave a ‘WHY’ stare.
Vikram said, “I guess you are planning to go back.”
Karan nodded. Vikram told, “Quick to the garage. ”
They ran to garage. Vikram was holding the gun ready. The TNT was not yet fixed.
Then something moved. Vikram became alert and shooted. Karan went forth to look what it was.
Mouse.
All other mice scattered and went away through the door.
Then Vikram remembered that he stopped in the way for almost half an hour and went to a store.
Vikram turned to Karan and told, “Man, he might have kept it near the store. Let’s go! ”
He stepped out and shot once into air.
He took the bike and said, “Let’s go. ”
Karan told that the bike was not safe again as they were not sure about the shop theory.
Karan said, “Let’s go man! We’ll think over and come again. ”
“Ok”
They went back. He left the bike outside only. He went to the machine and presses the button.
Present
Karan was back. But Vikram was not there. He became e very tensed. He searched and searched. Finally went to hospital. He discovered that Vikram was dead.
He didn’t understand what happened, but soon he figured out.
A small mistake in past, took his life.
Vikram is dead. But how? What was the mistake he did? It’s a easy one .Please comment. I’m looking forward for many answers.
