Springs, either by foot or car. Doors have been left open; car’s still running, and pets left to fend for themselves. Again there are no humans in sight. Something has gone wrong, very horribly wrong. Could it be because I travelled in time? Have we upset the space-time continuum that much, that it caused everybody to vanish? My heart starts pounding so much, that I have to sit down on the stairs of one of the abandoned houses. Was Dr. Richards right? He warned us, but none of us listened.…
without humans seems implausible. The only problem with not considering humans when talking about extinction is that humans did not always exist and there was once a world without us. The Time Machine by H.G. Wells touches on the future of the human race and what humans look and act like in the future.

high school, to graduation, to college, to work. I never had time to fall in love, I was thrown into life and I wasn’t prepared. I didn’t indulge on what could have changed my life. I just went with the flow and didn’t really live. I was just alive. I didn’t have many people in my life, just my mom and dad when they were alive, and of course my best friend.
