was done with all of the experiments, it seemed as though the only thing that he could have done at the time would have been to visit the club where Tori worked. Dr. Greene thought that if anything were to happen to himself, then he would have said his goodbyes once and for all.

Well, I don’t think I will ever understand whatever the heck you scientists have to put up with at the moment. But all I know is that you do work as hard as possible to get on top of your game. And for that, it's just respectable. So, whatever is bothering you, I think you have been there before, and you can do it once more.”
Tori said as soon as Dr. Greene stepped up into the club with a worried look on his face. And once thing that astonished him more often than not was the fact that Tori was very good at reading people. She was dead on and from the look of things; it seemed as though that was the only thing that Dr. Greene needed to hear.
He had been there and had done a hell lot of things that looked just like that. But the issue here was simple – he had never put himself as a subject, and that went without saying that he was scared shitless. But either way, there was no way that he was going to let this window of opportunity pass him. So as soon as he was done with a couple of drinks, Dr. Greene had to leave.
“Look, I am about to do something very dangerous. And if I don’t come back, just know that I did it for humanity.”
“Ok, now that is very scary. Just make sure that you call me as soon as you get there. You understand?”
“Yes, Tori. And thanks for caring.”
“You know I always care.”
And with that, the good doctor had to leave. He knew that if anything bad was going to happen, then he was dead sure that he had made his peace with the woman that he cared about the most. And now that his conscience was clear, the next thing that he would have done would have been to ensure that the experiment was going to happen as soon as possible. That is before his mind got changed all of a sudden.
Dr. Greene wasn’t still very sure about what he was about to do. But that said, the only thing that could have made things a little less confusing was the fact that he knew why he was doing this. And if the rodents, as well as the monkey, came back alive, then Dr. Greene knew that he was most definitely going to come back in one piece.
The problem was he didn’t know what to expect from the other end of everything. As a matter of fact, he didn’t know where the heck he was going and what he was going to meet out there. In short, Dr. Greene had plenty of reasons not to go into that place. But that said, he also seemed to have no other choice but to do it. It was his life’s work and not being able to go in there would have been a very bad thing for him in the end.
It was finally time. The time machine had finished calibrating and heating up, and the beep indicated that the machine was ready for Dr. Greene. He swallowed hard, closed his eyes right before injecting himself with the serum.
As the serum went up his veins, he felt as though his arm was chilling, becoming numb and frozen. It was the first time he was injecting himself, and he was scared. But thankfully, it wasn’t painful at all and in a minute or so, the numbness passed, and Dr. Greene was glad that he hadn’t died. And now that the nano-technology was flowing through his system, he opened the door and stepped right in naked.
Dr. Greene was still having the scare of his entire life, and that said, it appeared as if he wasn’t going to get over it. But he also knew that everyone gets scared once in a while. But what they did with the fact that they were very scared was what seemed to matter the most. And as far as he was concerned, the only thing that would have made some sense at that time would have been to kick back and ensure that he was making the right decision.
