Timmy’s Time Travel Machine
Ever since Timmy was a young boy, he wanted to travel through time. When Timmy was 18, he told his first girlfriend that he would be the first man to prove time travel was possible.
“You’re mad as a box of frogs Timmy,” said his girlfriend.
“You’ll eat your words,” replied Timmy. “I’m going to travel through time and shout from the rooftops about global warming. I’m going to save the world.”
Timmy spent hours devouring informative books in the library. At night he watched YouTube tutorials and inhaled coffee to stay awake.
After months of blood, sweat and tears, Timmy’s time machine was ready. Timmy travelled back to 1920, and met with various world leaders to give them his ominous warnings.
Unfortunately for Timmy, the people of 1920 thought he was mad as a hatter and they put him in a mental hospital. He never returned to the year 2022.
