The Bomber

The bomber arrived at the cafe before the scientist did.
He screamed his fiancee’s name into the fire.
Setting up a research foundation in her name wasn’t enough… he had to do something.
So, he went back to his lab, and completed his time machine.
He went back in time, and shot the bomber.
Pulling off his mask… revealing his own face.
“You’ll see,” he whispered before dying.
That didn’t matter. They were together again.
And yet, the research they did together… it was… well, truly, profoundly evil.
He sighed, and began work on a time machine.
And a bomb.
