Once upon a time, there was a scientist named John who was obsessed with the idea of time travel. He spent years studying the laws of physics and the nature of time, determined to find a way to travel through it.

Finally, after many long years of hard work, John succeeded in building a time machine. It was a small device that could transport a person through time and space.

Excited to test his invention, John climbed into the machine and set the dials to 201 million years ago. He closed his eyes and pressed the button, feeling a rush of energy as the machine whirred to life.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in a dense forest. The large creatures around him were running about and eating plants. He came to the conclusion that he was in the Jurassic age of dinosaurs.

He then started to explore the area some more. He was fascinated by the large hordes of plant-eating dinosaurs and large huge eggs. He went and caught some flying bugs to analyze later and show them to the president, Ken. He first cut down a big tree and started to chop them into smaller parts to put in his bag.

He then tried to catch a big bear-looking thing and shot it with his handgun. However, the blast alerted a big T-rex that had been hiding nearby. The monster gave a loud, mighty roar and started to run at the sound.

Thankfully, John heard the T-rex crashing through the trees and bushes and started to bolt off in the direction of his time travel machine the port-a-potty 3000. He stepped in the time travel box and shut the titanium door. The T-rex was trying to rip the walls off its hinges and get to the tasty treat inside, but the walls were holding up.

He pressed the button of his normal year and time and traveled back to his home. When he stepped out of the port-a-potty, his eyes shocked him. He saw many people dressed in weird ways and the houses looked different. He went back to the machine and checked the year. It was correct, the year was the same year he had left. He went up to a passerby and asked who the president was, the man gave him a funny stare and said Larry.

He went into a daze to try and figure it all out. He suddenly knew what happened. It was the butterfly effect. He went back in time and killed the bear thing. The bear was probably important and created offspring for the caveman to eat but did not because it died.

He was so shocked to find out and lived in the shadows forever.

The End.
