2015 Room 88


What Happens

There’s a knock on the door of room 88; the neighbor wants to know what he’s doing in there to make the lights keep flickering. The neighbor says he’s going to complain. 

Inside the room, the scientist looks at a small device he’s made. “It’s time,” he says as he activates the device and laughs maniacally. The lights do, indeed, flicker, and then go out. It’s still not working. 

Will he ever get it right? Apparently so. 

Commentary

This is the problem with the idea of time travellers; interesting events would be full of people who traveled there to see it. 

It’s got a very retro look, and the added annoyance of the busybody neighbor really makes it fun. It’s a simple idea executed really well, and it’s fun to boot!
