He felt a lurch and dizzy sensation and pulled the lever back to its original spot… 5 hours had passed. He then decided to push the lever all the way forward and proceeded to watch the sun and moon revolve around him. The lab soon disappeared, and he sees the sky and hazy buildings pass in front of his eyes. He is very excited, but soon starts to wonder what will happen when he stops the machine – what if there is a solid object where he is currently positioned. He grows afraid and pulls the lever back and is then flung forward through the air with the machine. The Time Traveller finds himself in the middle of a hailstorm. When it passes, he sees a giant statue of a white “sphinx” on a bronze pedestal. He starts to become fear for what has happened to mankind. He notices large buildings around him, and as he turns towards the Time Machine, he sees some strange figures standing in rich robes watching him. One of them approaches him and the time traveller remarks that he is very frail and small, but beautiful.SEO Stuff that I don't want to do lol...One of the most influential pieces of fiction of all time, The Time Machine by H. G. Wells, sees a Victorian scientist send himself forward to the year 802,701 AD. He is delighted to find that suffering has been replaces by beauty and happiness, and a "new man", the Eloi, has descended from man.
