Paul felt the now familiar jolt that threw him back into the chair. Through his eyelids, he was able to see bolts of electrical energy and a bluish-colored orb that was created by the electricity that encircled him. At five, the hum got louder, and Paul closed his eyes and tightened his grip on his bag. The machines began to hum for thirty seconds and a voice began a countdown beginning with ten. All he knew was that the machines would generate enough power and he hoped he would reopen his eyes when he was transported to his destination. His specialty was American History and he had a Doctorate in 19th Century American Studies. Paul had no clue how they worked and what they did. They would generate enough electrical power to send him on his trip back through time.
He was surrounded by five six-foot-high machines with spotlights pointed at the wooden chair. On his lap was a saddlebag that held the clothes and papers he would need for his trip. He wore a wide-brimmed brown hat, a long brown lightweight coat, and brown leather boots that were scuffed to make them appear worn. Paul Diamond sat in a wooden chair in a NASA laboratory at the Goddard Space Flight Center just outside of Washington, DC.
