Kite finally got Albert to take a bath and he was about to do his washing when his coat moved and he slowly put my hand in a pocket and he pulled out a mouse and it just sat there in the palm of his hand
So that’s what is was a mouse in his coat .
He wondered why the cat would sit and watch Albert`s coat with interest, it seemed a bit different from a normal mouse , and it felt as though it was looking at him with disgust.
He checked his other pockets and he then found a picture and it was a picture of him and in Kite`s amazement he was sat next to Albert Einstein !.
“Albert ! ”
“What is it boy ?”
“I was doing your washing and I came across a mouse and a picture , can you explain what you are doing with a mouse and a picture of Einstein ?”
“I hope you have not put Eric in the washer, boy ! “ he shouted running down stairs .
“Eric ! The mouse is called Eric , no it’s a good job I saw him moving about or else he would have been a very fluffy looking mouse and smelling of fabric conditioner and bloodshot eyes, and how on earth did you know Albert Einstein ? “
“That clever man , I met him at a poets society and we became good friends and I went by the name of Rabindranath Tagore , because I got funny looks when I told people my name was Van Helsing “
“Rabin what ?”
“Its Latin boy it means Dragon Slayer “ he replied .
“Oh well of course it is ! , carry on then , I will put the kettle on , and so he did .
“Well I asked him what was his thoughts on life on other planets”
“You asked Einstein if he believed in Aliens ?”
“Yes in a way and he said did I have any experience with the things of this nature ,and I told him been there and got the t shirt “
“And he believed you !?”
“Yes of course and so he told me he had this machine built by his friend Telsa and that was picking up noises from space and he was moving to New York in America and would I like to go with him .”
And so I did .
EINSTEINS HOME , NEW YORK 1950.
When we got to New York in the winter of 1950 is was snowing and so cold that the breathe from your mouth formed icicles on your eye brows.
We got to the apartment that Einstein had rented and then he showed the numbers that this machine had picked up from outer space .
10.15.8.14.6.11.5.14.14.5.4.26.
22.19.63.
So I asked Einstein why was the message in numbers ?, and he explains that numbers are the same in every language , and the best way to communicate to all things in the universe is by numbers , then of course there is number 23, its connected to everything on this planet and the solar system .
“I see but I cant see how it adds up “ said Kite trying not to smile .
“Well boy do you know what axis the planet earth is on?, I will tell you 23. Something degrees , there are 23 letters in the Latin alphabet , 23 sex cells in the human chromosomes , 23 grand masters of the knights of Templar , Julius Ceaser was stabbed 23 times and …”
“OK I get it, its all numbers and that “ Kite interrupted , because he knew he was in for one long story .
“So we thought that this Alien race was sending messages to Earth , but we could not work the message out “. he said .
“ Einstein not such a clever man after all E= Mc squared what is all that about?”
“How dare you boy, we couldn’t figure it out because the message had not happened yet “
“Oh sorry “
“My dear friend Albert Einstein died in 1955 and so I moved back to England and eight years later on that dark day in Dallas Texas a young president was shot on the 22nd of November and I had a shock of my life as I had never stopped trying to work out that message from outer space but I realized that the bottom numbers were today`s date and then I worked out that 10 was the tenth letter of the alphabet and the letter was J , 15 was O, 8 was H, 14 was N, and so the message had spelled out John F Kennedy , 22nd of November 1963.” said the old man .
“Well I am shocked and stunned old man .”
“So we couldn’t figure it out because the message was about an event in the future “
“Yeah I get it , so where is this machine now then that picks up these signals from outer space ?”
“ Well I have it “ he said.
“You do !, so where is it ?”
“Its in a lock up , and here is the key “ he said pulling a piece of string from around his neck and on the end of it was a key .
“So when was the last time you checked the machine then ?”
“I don`t really remember”
“Well I think we should go and have a look at this machine “ , said Kite rubbing his hands as there was`nt anything else to do except the washing and that could wait
They got their coats and we set off to the Canal and they climbed over a small fence and the pair were in a yard and in the corner there was a large lock up and got to the door that was riddled with woodworm
Albert got the key and turned the lock and pulled open the door and it creaked as though it was in pain and they stepped inside and Albert found a switch and the room lit up with shadows being cast all over as the light bulb was covered in cobwebs, and at the back of the room was a machine that had looked as though it had come straight off a world war two film set , they walked up to the machine and they both looked at each other in dread and Albert pushed a button .
Lights flashed on and off and then the machine made a groan and a small strip of paper came out of the panel
21.24.10.14.21.10.24. 10.24.5.19.20.
2001
The paper had numbers on it and after a bit of finger counting they both stared at the paper
Twin Towers
2001
Then our silence was interrupted by the machine as another piece of paper came out of the panel
7.15.19.22.20. 1.
2023.
They worked it out
HORUS A
2023 .
“My god Albert that’s the future and isn’t that “ said Kite pointing at the word.
“Horus , yes it is Horus the Egyptian sun god and it’s the year 2023 , the number 23 ” said Albert
“ I knew you was going to say that , well we have no way of finding out what is going to happen because that’s a long way off in the future “
“We could use your time machine ?”
“Time Machine ! don’t be silly I don’t have a Time Machine “ Kite lied
“Yes you do “
“And if I had a Time Machine how would you know I had one as I would not have told you I had one ?” Kite fumbled .
“Eric told me ,he can smell one in the back garden “ he said .
“Your pet mouse , well I must write that down when I get home , remember not to stamp on the mouse because he will shout at me “ he fumbled even more .
“Well you do have one, don’t you ?”
“If I have, its never been into the future , because the future hasn’t happened yet and you cant go to some place that hasn’t happened yet now can you ? “
"We may be living in the past " said Albert.
So they argued all the way home and he went on about the message and how he didn’t mind going in the Time Machine if Kite had one because he had so many reincarnated lives he wouldn’t mind chancing another dance with the reaper .
When they got home , Kite had to back down and so he showed him my Time Machine in the back garden, it was a Garden Shed and he Albert was amazed how it looked familiar and Kite made him some sandwiches and he gave him Eric .
“I have to find out what the message means boy “ he said
“Be careful you old fool” and Kite hugged him .
He shut the door behind him and he was gone
“I am starting to love that old fool “ Kite said to an empty space and he wiped a tear from my cheek .
That was that .. That was yesterday .
A few days later ...
Kite was sat reading his new book Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep and there was a blinding flash and a bang from outside
“The old buggers back “ Kite said to myself and he ran outside
“Where the hell have you been its been four days !”
Albert got out of the shed and behind was a young girl
“And who the hell is that! ?”
“Four days , its been six months hasn’t it , oh this , this is Lana” he replied.
“What! Who , what , you cant bring anyone back with you it causes a Butterfly Effect !”
“Hi Kitie my name is Lana , I have heard so much about you” she said holding out her hand and he shook it and stared at Albert .
“Explain yourself old man !“
“What is a Butterfly Effect ?” asked Lana .
“it’s the chaos theory , if you go back in time and change something , lets say the beat of a Butterfly wing is changed a very small initial conditions it will be a disastrous effect on the time line and it could cause a hurricane or an earth quake , lets say you go back in time and say you kill Hitler in his cot , you may be saving thousands of lives in the future but there are going to be consequences , you don’t mess about with time is very dangerous “
“Well its OK then I am from the future” said Lana with a smile
“Albert can you explain?” Kite said to old man
“I can , it happened like this .
I set the date for 2023 and the machine went into action and the I opened the door and I was in England still and in a back garden , in fact the same back garden I left you but the house was different and It looked empty
So I headed out to Town to try and find out about the Horus A message and as I got to the Center there was a large screen on a building and it showed a space ship
launch
The newscaster was saying that this was the first launch of its kind and it was going to investigate a large object that was in orbit around the Earth, the ship was called Horus 1 and it was due to be launched soon at NASA in Florida.
I thought that they must be picking up messages from the object and sending the ship to disaster and that I must find a way to stop the launch.
Then I came up with a plan !
If I kidnap a Astronaut they must surely cancel the lift off and then I could try to explain to the said Astronaut and hope to God they believe me.
So I set the Time Machine to appear just seconds before they go on the ship, and I jumped out grabbed the Astronaut and thew him , and I later found out , her into the Time Machine and off we went, but I was in such a panic I set the date to 1967 by mistake and we was back in the summer of love man” said Albert with a grin and a wink .
“You can imagine the shock I had when I saw the men with long hair and strange cloths “said Lana.
“So you’re the Astronaut , an American Astronaut ?” asked Kite
“Well I am Russian , but I live in the States “ she said
“A Russian Astronaut !”
“So !“ Albert Carried on
“After her having panic attacks , and I calmed her down I told her the tale of the machine and so I told her I would take her back , but the Time Machine was burnt out so we went shopping while it cooled down “
“Shopping ?”
“Yeah and I got you a Lava Lamp , I know how much you like them .”said Albert.
“ when the Time Machine was charged up we went back to the launch site an hour after the supposed lift off time and the Horus 1 was still there in the launch bay and the strange object had left Earths orbit so that was that and so I apologized to Lana and told her I had to get back and she said she wanted to come with me, and here she is “
“But you said you have been gone 6 months “ Kite said rubbing the top of his head
“Well we went on a bit of a Time Travelling site seeing trip “ said Albert
“Now you must take Lana back ..”
“I know the Butterfly Effect “ said the old man .
“At least let me stay for your English tea” Said Lana
“I suppose so , were having Black Puddings “
“What the hell in Octania is that Kitie?” she said
“Its Pigs blood in a skin which you boil ..”
“I think I best get back “she said .
So Albert took her back and they had there tea
“Where is Eric ?” asked Albert
“He is in the garden “ Kite replied
“In the garden, he will get lost “
“No he wont he is "In" the garden , there was a accident with the cat “ said Kite a bit sheepish
“What !, I am off in the Time Machine , to get my mouse back “
When he came back with now a saved Eric they finished there tea off and then they watched the Terminator and Albert muttered something about how robots looked nothing like that in the future and the odd couple went off to bed .
So that’s what is was a mouse in his coat .
He wondered why the cat would sit and watch Albert`s coat with interest, it seemed a bit different from a normal mouse , and it felt as though it was looking at him with disgust.
He checked his other pockets and he then found a picture and it was a picture of him and in Kite`s amazement he was sat next to Albert Einstein !.
“Albert ! ”
“What is it boy ?”
“I was doing your washing and I came across a mouse and a picture , can you explain what you are doing with a mouse and a picture of Einstein ?”
“I hope you have not put Eric in the washer, boy ! “ he shouted running down stairs .
“Eric ! The mouse is called Eric , no it’s a good job I saw him moving about or else he would have been a very fluffy looking mouse and smelling of fabric conditioner and bloodshot eyes, and how on earth did you know Albert Einstein ? “
“That clever man , I met him at a poets society and we became good friends and I went by the name of Rabindranath Tagore , because I got funny looks when I told people my name was Van Helsing “
“Rabin what ?”
“Its Latin boy it means Dragon Slayer “ he replied .
“Oh well of course it is ! , carry on then , I will put the kettle on , and so he did .
“Well I asked him what was his thoughts on life on other planets”
“You asked Einstein if he believed in Aliens ?”
“Yes in a way and he said did I have any experience with the things of this nature ,and I told him been there and got the t shirt “
