The Time Machine is a science fiction novel by H. G. Wells, published in 1895 and written as a frame narrative. Wells is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel by using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposely and selectively forwards or backward in time. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now almost universally used to refer to such a vehicle. The Time Machine has been adapted into three feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It has also indirectly inspired many more works of fiction in many media productions.

"If I swallowed fifty aspirin would you call an ambulance?" "No," This time his expression was plain but I liked the way it slightly hardened when he looked at me; like he was displeased, uninterested, but still unable to let me go. "I'd just fuck your mouth until you puked them back up." 𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐋 𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐓 | After an ill fated night in which she blames herself, Winona has spent the rest of her life trying to convince herself that there is good in the world and that she contributes, but when tragedy strikes again by a devil she doesn't know she sets out for vengeance with the help of the devil she does. Ruthless, seductive and haunted by the one crime he couldn't stop, Gommorah made himself his own god and makes a living selling narcotics and assassinating the enemies of the powerful crime family that raised him into being the man that everyone fears and every woman wants to fuck. But when his latest conquest comes begging for his help, together they plunge into a world of drugs and depravity where the gods are the monsters and they're faced with a lust neither of them prepared for. There's just one complication: One of them is lying. So is the other. © dana dior 18+ 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐋 𝐀𝐃𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐎𝐑𝐘
