head away from the light

Joe needs answers, but not knowing where he is, he feels safer keeping away from trouble, and that light could very well mean trouble. Keeping his footfalls as silent as humanly possible, Joe heads down the corridor, away from the light.

The place is huge, like a massive mansion house, its polished wooden floors and lavish décor certainly gives the place some class, but it also seems curiously familiar to him.

The corridor has various doors opening out from it, but Joe walks to the end of the corridor and finds himself on the landing of a great hall. It is an entrance hall, complete with lavish chandelier and massive staircase curling down the wall to the floor far below. The moonlight from outside was strong enough in here to make out that there were more corridors opening out onto the landing, but Joe just strolled slowly to the staircase, finding his bare feet now touching luxurious red carpet rather than wooden floorboards.

The recognition hits him like a heavyweight punch. It’s his old school. Of course it is! It’s the boarding school he spent so many years at when he was young, isolated from his parents, his family and the real world.

In the moonlight, he also realises that his body was not the old, increasingly fragile scientist’s body he was used to. Wandering to the a gilt-framed mirror, he checks himself out in the moonlight. It’s absolutely amazing – his whole form is so trim, so firm, so tender. There’s not so much hair on him, his frame is so fit and athletic, his skin soft and healthy. Joe pulls down his pyjama bottoms briefly, and finds his cock is no longer the old shrivelled thing he was used to, either. As he looks at it, amazed at how nicely shaped and soft it was now, it began to firm up, stiffening in his hand. Like magic compared to what he’d used to, he has a strong, powerful erection. And it feels so good…

How long has it been since he had been so virile? This is incredible.

Pulling up his pyjamas again, he sighs. They have calculated the time-jump wrong. He hasn’t gone back a few minutes – he’s gone back a few decades. He is back at school again. Is it permanent? He seems to have jumped into his former self. Is that the way this worked? Can there only be one of him in the universe at all times? Can he ever jump out again, return to the future?

The experiment has gone wrong. He’s gone back too far. Well, at least it worked, at least he hasn’t been injured by the process. Somehow, he’ll have to get a message back to Bennett in the future – now it is of **** importance for Bennett to get to the grand board and prove that it has worked, because if Bennett doesn’t get the funds to build a machine to get Joe out of here, he’ll be stuck in this time.

He’ll have to come up with some way of contacting Bennett, but he isn’t going to be able to do anything until the morning. As far as future time went, nothing will happen – can happen – until he does something to alter the timeline in the right way so that the future would bring the technology to bring him back to it.

Once the morning came, it will just be a case of finding the right way to alter the future, and as soon as he does it, he can expect to be taken back out.

But what is the right way to alter the timeline?

Well, questions can wait until morning. He is quite tired, the time jump had taken a lot out of him. He will just go on back and get some rest.

But hang on – while he’s here, he might as well have some fun, huh? Take his young body for a spin. Maybe it was more sensible to get some rest, but it would be pretty exciting to explore the old school again…
