Surprisingly, it helped me over the fence. "Thanks!" I gasped before taking off again. Noises were approaching. I turned to see...
A. The creepy old lady gaining on me.
B. The tree stepping over the fence.
She was definitely pursuing me. I ran, but not fast enough. Just as she pounced me, though, I awoke in a muck sweat. There I was, sitting next to my time machine. What happened?!
A: The garlic fumes knocked me out and caused me to dream.
B: All that actually happened.
Apparently the garlic fumes had knocked me out. Strangely enough, I had what seemed to be a lifetime supply in my workshop. I got busy, turned it into fuel, set off in my time machine (which, coincidentally, as you may have heard already, will take you to different destinations and not just times) I set it on "random", and ended up in Kansas, where I saw a gigantic tornado heading my way, and a girl and her fluffy dog trying to get over the fence. I...
A: Ran to get in the tornado shelter like a sensible person.
B: Ran to the house where the girl was also running, because I'm claustrophobic.
I ran to the house where the girl was also running, because I'm claustrophobic. I rolled up under a table with my hands over the back of my head, and only then did I stop to take note of what was happening around me. To my surprise, I heard...
A. A cow mooing in my ear.
B. Absolute silence.
They might not need me but; they might.
I'll let my Head be just in sight;
A smile as small as mine might be
Precisely their necessity.

A bunch of spelunking gear. Now why on earth there was spelunking gear out here in the middle of Kansas, I'll never know. I'll also never know why I donned the equipment. I guess fear drives you to do crazy things.
The wardrobe shifted and the doors shut me in. As if the claustrophobia wasn't bad enough, I'm big-time scared of the dark. Still wearing the spelunking gear, I felt my way to the door and opened it to find...
A: Sherlock Holmes sitting in his living room, playing the violin.
B: Mr Darcy proposing to Elizabeth Bennett.
I opened the door and saw Sherlock Holmes playing the violin! One of the last things I was expecting. Except maybe if I saw Mr. Darcy proposing to Elizabeth Bennett. ...whoever that was. It was just another of the last things I was expecting to see. Holmes abruptly stopped playing, stared, and...
A: Reached for his glasses so he could get a better look.
B: Reached for his sword and a pair of handcuffs.
Holmes reached for his sword and a pair of handcuffs. "If you will just take a seat in that chair beside you, I will inform Inspector Lestrade that I've found his twenty-first century bank robber."
I...
A: froze and stared at him.
B: made a break for it.
I froze and stared at him. "What?" He sighed and...
A. lifted the sword.
B. began to explain.
..and lifted the sword. At this point, I was seriously ready to get back to my time machine. I quickly ran through a door, --Holmes hot in pursuit-- and found where I had seen him first, hopped back through where I came from, found myself in the wardrobe, and heard a cow mooing again. I managed to...
A: Get out of the wardrobe
B: Sing an Italian opera.
Get out of the wardrobe. I fell on the ground, wondering where (and when) in the world I was. I glanced around and realized I was in ancient...
A. Egypt.
B. Mesopotamia.
Egypt. Ick! I hate sand! But the deciding factor was that the people seemed to be worshiping creepy little jeweled beetles. The same kind that my cat always brings in the house (not to mention the lizards). I wasn't that big on Egypt, and I hoped I could get back to the wardrobe. But-- it wasn't there anymore! I was stuck in ancient Egypt. Still in my spelunking gear, that is. I walked into a large crowd of people on what could be considered a sidewalk. They...
A: Thought I was a deity of some sort and gave me a beetle. (which was really weird, btw)
B: Started chasing me! AHHHHH!!!
The crowd started chasing me. As I ran down the street, I ducked down an alley, only to find myself...
A: In a large field in the middle of nowhere
B: In what appears to be London in 1274
A tidal wave. I was a little taken aback, I must admit, considering that I was located in the middle of a field... Or was I? I felt sand beneath my toes and, looking up, I realized that I was now
A. At a beach full of frolicking crabs
B. Standing in a sand box
