    "Impressed?" Ethereal asked as Ebenezer surveyed the inside of the time machine. Since the machine was capable of distorting space as well as time, it was much bigger on the inside. The extra space resided in an alternate dimension.

"Since I'm pretty sure I'm having a psychotic break, I'm not sure what to think," Ebenezer mumbled as he continued to look around the large control room. "So, you are saying that you can take me back to the bar parking lot at the time Carol disappeared."

"How do I know this isn't some kind of hallucinogenic you are giving me?" Ebenezer asked.

"You don't, but does it matter?

Ebenezer shrugged and took the pills and blacked out.
