For Ryan, space time travel had been his career.  Until now as he stood holding his helmet in the unbearable humidity. He looked around what should have been his city and tried to identify what part of the city he was in.  What could have caused this kind of destruction? There wasn’t a living being in sight.  Tall towering buildings leaned, streets had sink holes.  Vegetation and slime had covered almost every thing.  

Ryan’s handsome angular face showed anger and fatigue.  He stood trying to figure out where he might find the answers to the end of his world.  What if he could get enough power to his ship to make another run on time.  He didn’t want to go back in time, and witness this destruction, but he might be able to go forward.  What would he find?  Would there be any living beings on this planet in the future?
