The Story behind Time Machine:
Theo is a 19 years old boy, living in a big, big city. He is so grey, that we can call him Theo Grey – if we need to call him anyhow. He hates life, hates mankind, hates the planet – his life is seamless and dark... Until he invents the cerebral Time Machine – after some concentration he is able to travel thru time... Of course, only using his imagination, but first he travels with his Time Machine to his prefered era, The Renessaince. The first song tells his adventures by a small, european court somewhere in the middle of the XVth century.
Theo likes this kind of travel, so he tries it again – he wants to go further, to the ancient Greek city of Kerkinitida (The Past). He enjoys to see greek people, their philosophy, their connection with the far away homeland – Theo wishes to be far away from his homeland too. The third travel goes even further – ancient land of Egypt, City of the Falcon, Nekhen (A Trip to Egypt). The freedom of a falcon and the enjoyment of a so distant culture makes Theo happy.
He decides to push further...but this time it's too far (The Monster). He arrives in a pre-human enviroment, where a big, sauroid like monster attacks him. A battle begins – Theo isn't a fighter he is about to loose, when a real time traveler appears to fight with the monster. The time traveler kills the monster, but he is badly wounded as well – he tells Theo, that it was his destiny to save him, and gives the keys of the Time Machine ti Theo with an advice: use them wisely...
Theo is devastated as because of the rip in the space-time continuum he really got stuck in the era of the sauruses, so decides to use the time machine. The only button he recognizes in panic is the „Forward” button, so he lands in the ancient Persia, where he meets the Pilosopher (The Persian). Theo tells about his problems, his fears, his runaway and the Philosopher tells him about the stars...That everything is written in the stars... follow a star and Theo will find his own home. As Theo follows the first star, it resulted to be the Morning Star, the Venus, guide for many ships in the Caribbean – so Theo gets a nice dinner somewhere in the Caribbean – he enjoys the freedom of that pirate age (Caribbean Dinner).
But a real star still calls him, so he jumps again in time – arriving to a small, sad country in the middle of Europe, where people is complaining about the past, about the happenings in the past (Under the Mountain). Theo decides, that he needs to find his way out of the past...
So the only place to go is the future. He goes his home the pack some of his valuables when another time travelers try to catch him (Escaping from the Present) after a brief pursuit Theo can jump to the board of a pioneer vessel in the future. The first ever Spaceship to leave the solar system, carrying people to a neighbouring star to make Earth's first colony to another star (Solar System). Pioneers are people with courage and optimism, they cheer Theo up and wish him good luck on finding his real destination. They talk a lot with him telling a lot of jokes (Telling Jokes). But Theo must run again, as other time travelers are behind him – the pioneers defend him, meanwhile he runs away... and even finding the star of his dreams, one last time traveler nearly catches him – in a final pursuit Theo makes it – no one else is pursuing him anymore (The Runaway). And then in the distant future he finds a happy, utopistic human colony where Theo's story and time travels are concluding (The End). And everybody lived happily ever after....
