~A Year of Dinosaurs: The Epilouge~
Thanks to Alex and his friend, Jaden, we had a time machine. Yes, it took them their whole entire four years in highschool to build it, and yes they kept it secret. How did we end up with the time machine you ask? Well it's simple. We stole it. What we did with it, well that didn't turn out well. Alex and Jaden were the only ones who actually knew how to work it. It wasn't a time machine that you picture. You have to type in this big formula on a screen depending on what year you want to go to and it's more like a platform that takes up a whole room. The control unit is part of it. Anything touching the platform went, and the platform itself went. That was all. Nobody could figure out how it worked, so we just kept typing in random numbers and signs. If Alex and Jaden were there, well, we probably would not have gotten stuck in the Cretacious Period.
I know. You are probably thinking that this is going to be a typical they-go-back-in-time-and-the-time-machine-breaks-but-then-they-find-out-how-to-fix-it type of story. Its got a time machine and people that get stuck in the Cretaceous. That's what kind of story I would expect, at least. I'm just here to tell you that it didn't happen like you would think. I'm going to be completely honest: the time machine literally got eaten by a Carnotaurus. And we know this because of the book.
You see, Alex and Jaden wrote a book telling whoever uses the time machine what to do if they go to certain periods of time. They researched the most probable times that someone would be able to travel to and documented literally every danger and every safe-house of that time period. There was a chapter on the 20's. There were subchapters for every chapter based on location, so the largest subchapter for the 20's was Paris. There was a chapter on the Byzantine Era. There was a chapter on the Roman Era. There was quite a few chapters on the Ancient World, but much of it was useless because the time machine was built in America. (It only travels time, not location) The book had a large section on all the different time periods of the dinosaurs and it was very, very helpful. It told us all about the dinosaurs and all about the world of Pangea. Practically, the only thing the book did not tell us, was about the future. Although it did say that the future chapters were in book two. Which is non-existant.
Anyway, after the Carnotaurus ate the time machine, we fought it and... well. Let me start you at the beginning.
