Future

by Peace and Love Man - Not entered

They stepped into the future.  
The crowd chanting and screaming, 
running wild.
The whole world had been given the day off. 
 The two people, a man and a woman, 
step into the dark machine.  
They stepped into the future.

All the television reporters were there,
recording the historic event. 
One was allowed to join the two 
in their mission.
They were all prepared to write history. 
They stepped into the future.

The crowd all held their breath.
The reporters who had talked endlessly 
were silenced.  
The entire population of the world 
stood together as they watched 
the pair step into the machine.  
They stepped into the future.

Lights blinked on and off.  
Switches and levers were switched and pulled. 
The door to the thing was sealed.  
The camera prepared to view the journey.  
They stepped into the future.

A sonic boom penetrated the sky. 
The machine was gone. 
Inside the machine the crew was watching.  
Then they saw it...nothing.	

They stepped into the future, which had not yet been written.
