"good morning chap", said Patrick waving his hand at Sam at a distance.
"Hey",said Sam , half heartedly,entering the Ronald Labs with iced coffee in his hand and a case in another.
The sun was shining extra bright. And Sam was more gloomy than usual. He entered the building named " Ronald Labs" and put himself into the elevator. Something seemed off to Sam. But he thought it was just another morning with another gloomy day full of work.
And then it happened, a yellow flash infront of Sam's eyes and then gone. And Sam found himself at the Lab's gate, facing Patrick.
"Good morning chap",said Patrick waving his hand at Sam at a distance .
" Hey", said Sam with surprise , he was holding cappuccino in his hand and his files in the other." Didn't we just meet?",asked Sam, and took a sip of his cappuccino.
"No man....I just saw you",answered Patrick, bewildered.
Sam spat out the cappuccino he had sipped and cringed his face and said ," Damn! I was drinking iced coffee! What just happened?! And- hey ! Where's my case?......"
Patrick was looking at Sam , horrified ," You alright Sam? It's okay if you need a day off......I will talk to Mr. Ronald I am sure he won't mind ".
" No....I am good....I just had some.... illusion I think , it's okay , never mind, I will get going, have a nice day"
"Yeah .....you too Sammy boy",laughed Patrick.
Sam again got into the elevator , carefully this time . And he reached the floor. Sam went into his tiny office and kept the files . And began thinking at what had happened in the elevator and with Patrick. It could not have been an illusion, because it seemed too real to Sam. And Sam turned around and help up his triangle prism from the desk and viewed it interestingly. And as he turned around , another yellow flash infront of his eyes, Sam looked around and found himself holding a stapler.
Sam started,"What the -"
Another yellow flash and Sam again looked around and found himself facing the door of his office , with his cappuccino and files in his hands
"What the hell is happening ?! This is freaking me out now!"
Sam opened his office door and kept his things there and headed towards Ronald's office and knocked.
"Enter ", a voice answered
Sam entered the room, frustrated and sat down on the empty chair opposite to Ronald.
" Early in the morning ,kid...",said Ronald , looking at Sam questionably.
And then another yellow flash.
"FOR GOD'S SAKE! NOT AGAIN! ",shouted Sam and opened his eyes and found himself standing and said," Did I miss something?".
"Sam are you alright? You just entered and before I had a chance to barely look at you....you were shouting away."
" Help me please ! Something.... something is happening to me! I can't - I can't understand it! ", said Sam panting and holding on to the table's corner.
Ronald looked alarmed and stood up and approached Sam,"Kid! Tell me what is happening! What is the trouble?"
Sam miserably sat down and explained all that happened to him since the morning . After finishing, be looked up at Ronald's face and said helplessly with tears in his eyes," it's going to happen again....please help me ....please..."
Ronald just looked at Sam like he was from another planet and walked to Sam's back and held both his shoulders from the back and said," I am sorry Sam but this has to happen" , and he hit him in the back, and Sam was unconscious as Ronald looked at him and said," you don't understand what an incredible gift you have achieved somehow.....and ......i can't let you go until I have figured out how you achieved it.....you can't get the full pleasure of enjoying Time Travel......how can you bend the time at your own will.....isn't it interesting Sam? "
Sam was unconscious but Ronald kept talking anyways.
" I am gonna figure this out and I am gonna have that gift of power too.... You are so full of surprises Sam....just like your father"
