Peter was carefully climbing the steps; he didn’t want to fall down. No one except Collingwood and Joshua knew he was blind. It was difficult in the beginning, getting a grasp of the university surroundings. He needed to make his hearing strong and effective. Surprisingly, just after 1 week, he was able to navigate through the campus easily. But outside campus, he was totally blind. Joshua went with him whenever he wanted to go to the city. One day, all because of his folly and stupidness, Joshua had to lose his life…
Peter bumped into his dormitory door. He took out his keys and opened the door for possibly the last time. He hadn’t even stepped inside the room when someone dragged him forcefully into the room and choke slammed him onto the table.
‘’Well, well, well. What do we have here? A sitting duck…hahahahahahahaha, I didn’t expect you to be so easy.’’
‘’Who the hell are you? What do you want from me?’’
‘’You see, I like to be unique… different from others. That’s why when I felt that you were just like me, I couldn't resist. I had to meet you, to see how you would fare in a battle against me. But now, I'm really amused. You…of all the people are blind. I just want to know Peter, how are you able to…you know…lead a normal life, how are you able to repress the feeling of… teleportation, travelling through time, changing the past, looking onto the future. How many times have you done that? ...TELL ME!!!’’
‘’You are a retarded madman. What the hell do you want? Teleportation… you gone crazy or what? ‘’
‘’so you wanna play, huh? So be it’’’, saying that he threw Peter. Peter landed on his study table, which broke and a splinter pierced his left hand. He screamed in pain. Meanwhile, Blackadder switched on the lights. Then he saw Peter’s face for the first time, and never was more shocked in his life when he saw Peter’s face. It wasn’t the same person.
‘’Who...who the hell are you? TELL ME NOW’’
‘’Peter Hathaway…u only called me so.’’
‘’YOU LIE!!! TELL ME WHO YOU ARE OR ELSE…’’
‘’ I TOLD YA…I'M PETER HATHWAY, GO ASK ANYONE’’
Blackadder couldn’t believe it. How could this happen? Where did this go wrong? Who the hell was able to confound him? He watched this boy for one year, and now… it’s all in vain. But then who the hell is that boy whose photo he has? The boy who was the only one who could match his strength.
He took a photo out of his pocket and asked Peter, ‘’who the hell is he then? TELL ME NOW’’
''I can't see dammit.''
''He is dark, and has curly hair. you know him don't you..."
Peter almost lost consciousness. there was only one dark coloured person he knew. ‘’he’s Joshua Matthews. He died 6 months ago.’’
‘’Preposterous. He can’t die. A time sequencer can’t die. YOU’RE LYING.’’
A cold voice sprang out, ‘’No, he’s not’’. Then there was a sound resembling thunder, and Peter lost consciousness.

Gates never so walked as he had that hour. He was desperately waiting for Blackadder to come. He knew Blackadder would be easily able to catch the boy. He needed to regain order of the matter as soon as possible.
‘’Who the f*** did you talk to about this matter?’’. Again Gates startled
‘’No one at all… what happened? It’s been an hour, and you come all bruised and battered. What happened?’’
‘’Then who hell ambushed me in the campus?’’
‘’What are you talking about? Why would I send someone to kill you?’’
Blackadder suddenly felt quiet. He needed to think. Gates went on jabbering ‘’You went after the wrong guy. The guy we are looking for is dead. He died…’’
‘’6 months ago... I need to talk to you about something. Something about which I should’ve talked one year ago.’’
‘’What is it about?’’
‘’The article by the Hathaway boy’’

‘’Get up Peter, get up’’
‘’Ow, ow, ow! My legs hurting a lot. What happened?’’
‘’’Splinter pierced your leg… you need special attendance. Your bone marrow is exposed.’’
Peter was sure that nothing could stop him from dying. He could finally meet Joshua…apologize to him, thanking him for everything. Suddenly he heard noises going around. The air was colder. The ground he was lying on became hard.
‘’Oh my God!!! Who did this to him?’’
‘’ Schneider, now he knows who to look for’’
‘’I told ya! Double guard this boy, now we all are in deep trouble.’’
‘’No we are not. This was supposed to happen. It was inevitable.’’
‘’We need to operate on his leg quickly… there isn’t much time’’
‘’While you do that, give him a pair of ….’’ But Peter could hear no more. He knew he was imagining all this stuff. He was going to heaven…was he? He prayed frantically to God to let him go to heaven and meet his mother, father and Joshua.

Peter opened his eyes. He could finally see! And he was in heaven. Everything was white. And he saw the face of an Angel. No one else could be so pure and white.
‘’Hello peter. I am guessing that you are fine.’’ He got a shock of his life. The voice… it was Collingwood!
‘’Are you in heaven with me?’’ was all he could utter. The creature in front of him laughed, and he knew he was on earth. Collingwood would laugh like this only when something was wrong.
‘’What’s wrong, professor?’’
‘’First: time is exact midnight. Today is 5th of April 2010. And no, you were not unconscious for 1 whole day. In fact you have travelled 1 day further.’’
‘’Wait a sec….what do you mean?’’
‘’Haha…peter, we are wating for a second for the last 1 year in this this laboratory. No movement in time at all. Time basically stopped.’’
Peter was feeling dizzy. Travelled 1 day further…no movement in time…What the hell is happening to him?
