Dr. Elias Noor sat in his small lab, surrounded by computers, tangled wires, and cutting-edge technology. The air in the room was thick with the scent of hot metal and electrical strain. On the table in front of him, a lit screen displayed complex data about quantum particles. For years, Elias had been working on a project that everyone thought was impossible: time travel using the quantum field.
In the corner of the room, an electrical device emitted a persistent, annoying noise:
"Bzzz…tsssh!"
Elias lifted his head slightly, wiped the sweat from his brow, and then remembered the true reason behind his relentless pursuit.
The memories haunted him:
His wife and daughter were flying on a plane far away. He was supposed to be with them on a family vacation, but an emergency work call had made him abandon the trip.
"If I had been there, maybe…"
This question followed him every day. He couldn't sleep, he couldn't live in peace. That's why he had decided to do the impossible.
"If I can transfer my memories to the past, I can save them."
After months of failed experiments, the moment he had been waiting for finally arrived.
"Haha! Yes! I found it!" Elias shouted aloud, slamming his hand on the table, causing a glass cup to fall.
"Claaang!"
He began gathering the necessary materials and constructing a complex device. The device resembled a large glass capsule surrounded by glowing metal rings that emitted a strange hum:
"Wooooom… Wooooom…"
Elias stood before the machine, his body trembling with fear and excitement.
"Either I fix the past... or I lose everything."
He stepped into the capsule and shut the door behind him. He pressed the large button, and the process began.
The noises in the lab escalated:
"Bzzz…woooosh!"
The walls started to shake, and the light shifted into strange, glowing colors. Elias felt his body beginning to break apart into tiny pieces:
"Aaah! What's happening?!"
Suddenly, a massive explosion rang out:
"BOOOOOOM!"
The machine exploded, and the glass panels shattered. Everything plunged into darkness.
The only sound he could hear was his own breathing:
"Heh… hehh…" then it stopped.
He opened his eyes with great difficulty, trying to catch his breath. He found himself lying on cold, soft ground, surrounded by a strange aroma. Around him, he heard whispers and the sounds of children.
"Hima!" A sharp, commanding voice of an elderly man broke the silence.
"Where am I? What is this place?" He tried to stand up, but his body felt as heavy as stone.
He saw a small girl tentatively stepping towards a circle on the ground, filled with strange symbols and engravings. As she sat in the center of the circle, the light emitted a sound:
"Fwoooom!"
The engravings began to glow slowly. Elias, who was trying to comprehend what was happening, felt a sudden pain in his head. Strange memories flooded his mind like a tidal
wave:
"What are these memories?! They're not mine!"
