Horrific Miscalculation
The time machine was supposed to take me to Ancient Rome, but I have no idea where I am now. Somewhere really...leafy? I can't exactly come up with good description words right now. I'm kind of freaking out. Was that a twig snapping behind me? Because that's what it sounded like.
I try to call out a tentative "Who's there?" but whatever's behind me isn't moving anymore. It must be my imagination. I just need to calm down. Everything's going to be fine, everything's going to be fine. Just... Just close my eyes and count to ten. Yeah. That'll work.
