Impossibilities, Improbabilities, and Unlikelihoods

CHAPTER 1

"Surprise!" Everyone called as I walked into the room.
"Aww, thanks guys! You really didn't have to throw anything together though," I said to Amanda, the first to walk up to me.
"Well, we all figured that turning 23, and the fact that the Atom Smasher has been operational for six months, is something to celebrate," She said with a smile.
"Well, thank you. All of you," I said, the second part louder than the first.
"You are very welcome, Alan," Amanda said, smiling and staring at me with her beautiful blue-grey eyes.
Amanda was this beautiful girl with slightly dark skin. Her hair was a gorgeous hazel-red color and her eyes were like a blue-grey ocean that practically swallowed you when she looked at you. Everything about her was outstanding, if only she saw the way I looked at her.
"Well, let's get on with it, there's gotta be cake, right?" I said with a loud laugh. Everyone in the room cheered.
While I sat and watched people chat about scientific theories and the like, my phone began ringing.
"Doctor Watson," I said into the phone.
"Watson, come quickly! The Accelerator, something is wrong!" The voice, who I recognized as being David Hunt, said to me.
"I'm on my way!" I said into the phone. "Amanda, the lab just called, something is wrong with the Accelerator!"
"Then let's get going!" She said as she grabbed her coat.
We drove to the lab as quick as we could and ran in the main door.
"What's the matter with it David?" I asked as I walked into the Operating Chamber.
The Operating Chamber was a room about 12' by 15' and in the middle was a massive control panel that regulated all necessary functions of the Accelerator. The room was usually filled with about 10 physicists and technicians maintaining the scientific beast that lay below, however, today it was just David.
"Look, Alan, the electromagnetic shielding is fluctuating and the main reactor core is overheating! It's going to explode!" David yelled, trying to regulate the heat.
"There's no way to stop it now, look, the main power relays are fried! You should have called me sooner! Now, I have to go down there and redirect the potential energy into the center so that the entire city doesn't explode!" I yelled at him.
"Alan, be careful," Amanda said, pulling me close to her and wrapping me in a hug.
"I'll try," I told her.
I ran from the OC and into the small room that lead to the internal workings of the Accelerator, and proceeded to open the bulkhead. I looked upon the inside of the Atom Smasher I helped build and saw this massive buildup of orange energy encapsulating the entire inner ring. I sprinted along the edges of the second ring to a panel, designed to redirect potential energy and allow it to be transferred away from the source.
"Okay, so I push this, and rotate this to here, then I pull the small lever. Boom! Energy redirected!" I shouted, but my celebration was cut short.
In front of me appeared a hole that looked like a purple Eye of Sauron. I knew, based on the Accelerator's ability to create dark matter and theoretical exotic materials, this was a wormhole.
"What did I just do?" I asked, no one answering.
As I stared at this wormhole that stabilized before my eyes, all I could think about was the shirt I was wearing. It was a simple blue shirt, but I couldn't stop thinking about it. I couldn't stop thinking about it because it was the shirt I was going to die in.
"I could've totally worn something nicer," I said, and then I felt an immense burning sensation in my entire body, and then nothing.
Nothing but cold.
