All the time in the world

By twobunny

This is my second story I have posted on line and I am hoping to get a good response

copywrite by me, (Twobunny)

It is a hot day when I went out to do some camping out in the middle of the woods. I had followed a stream down to a clearing where I set up camp. Let me describe myself, I am a human male, age 18, about six foot tall and I weigh about 160 pounds. I keep myself physically fit despite my diet of junk food and work out regularly.

On a planet hundreds of light years away and a thousand years in the future.

Two beings activate a device. This device looks like a large round cylinder. One being looks like a fox, the other looks like a rabbit. The device pulses with energy and a portal opens. They congratulate each other on the success.

On Earth.

I finish unpacking and setting up my gear. I am rummaging through my backpack for dinner. I pull out my dinner and set up the camp stove to boil water. I hear a noise unusual to the area. A loud humming. I turn towards the noise and see a bright light coming towards me, fast. I don't have time to get out of the way and it hits me and my camp. I feel pain upon pain upon pain when I enter the light. When the pain stops I pass out.

Back on the other planet.

The celebrations are short lived when they see a flash of light and a creature and a lot of stuff come through the portal. They shut down the portal as the last of the stuff comes in to the lab. They go into panic mode when they discover the creature is alive. They call emergency services for assistance. They get me stabilized and ready for transport. One of the scientists follow me into the vehicle and they take off.

"Subject of unknown species being transported to the regional medical center. E.T.A. 7 cronacs."

I begin to stir and the scientist says, "Sedate it. Don't let it wake up just yet."

The medic then injects me with a sedative and I am out.

I am brought into the medical center and examined. The doctor and the scientist speak in short sentences.

"What is that thing?"

"I don't know but it is hurt. Can you do anything for it."

"I can try, but there is no guarantee that I will be successful."

Days later.

I slowly awake in a hospital bed to voices. A language I have never heard of before is spoken. I open my eyes and see monsters. I see a being with a foxes head on a humanoid body and a being with a rabbits head on a humanoid body.

I am terrified and cry out ,"What are you?"

"(The patient is awake.)" The fox says

"(What language is it trying to speak?)"

"(I don't know. We will have to have a translation team to help decipher its language.)"

"(What do we do in the mean time?)"

"(Use simple hand gestures and maybe it will comply with us.)"

The two beings leave and I am left alone. I look around the room and see it is a private room with two doors. I assume the one door leads outside and the other leads to a bathroom. I am not strapped down but a catheter and an IV was inserted while I was out. A nurse comes in with a tray and places it on a roll away table and uncovers it. A bowl of broth and gelatin and a glass of some unusual liquid. I see a spoon and pick it up. I see a hand motion to eat. I take one taste of the broth and see it is pretty good but still bland. I finish the soup and start on the gelatin. Now there is something to talk about. It has a citrus type taste but not like some orange gelatin. The drink is somewhat like tea.

"Thank you for the meal." I say.

The nurse takes the tray and leaves the room. Hours later a new nurse comes back into the room and points to my privates and does a pulling motion. They decided to remove the catheter. I allow them to do it. I try to relax as much as possible and not look and it comes out easily. She then points to my IV and does the same pulling motion. The IV is removed and I try to get up and walk around. The nurse helps drag me over to the side of the bed and helps me up and I take my first steps in what seems like days.

"(I see that you are walking.)" says the fox from the doorway. "(Good, we can go to the next step.)"

I head for the bathroom and see the facilities. I can work with it. I go back out to the room and see the fox grasping my hand and motioning me to come. I follow the fox until we reach a room with a chair and a table with more chairs. The fox points to me and then the chair so I sit down in the chair. The fox then goes and sits in a chair behind the table. From another room a rabbit and a wolf comes in. I am surprised by the wolf and I'm a little frightened. The fox tries to get me to speak.

"What do you want me to say?"

Out of the walls I hear, "(Attempting to translate.)"

So I tell them about the camping trip I was planning when I was whisked away to never never land. Then I hear, "Translation complete."

I hear from the speakers the translation of the conversation they are having.

"Can you understand us now?"

"Yes, I can. What happened to me? Where am I? What is going to happen to me now?"

"The answer to the first question is we don't exactly know. As to where you are, you are at the regional medical center in the city of Lansrath on the planet Cyrex 3."

"I am on another planet! It is not possible."

"It is possible now that we have tested the prototype wormhole generator. I have a few questions on what happened to you during your trip."

"I will tell you this, that is one ride I never want to try again. That was the most painful experience I have ever lived through."

A rabbit comes into the room and hands the fox a pad.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yes, sir."

"I have some bad news, first tell me your name."

"Andrew Withers. Just call me Andrew."

"Well, Andrew, my assistant just handed me some information on you. Your race is supposed to be dead."

"Dead, I was just speaking to several people days ago."

"Your race died out hundreds of years ago in a great war. I have the evidence here in my hand." he gets up, walks over and hands me the pad. On it I see pictures of Earth blackened and scorched. "I am so sorry about your people but from the evidence they left, it seems that religion was a major sticking point."

"Religion can and does things that people don't want to do. Do you know how it happened."

"No. not exactly but one thing is clear that nuclear weapons was used."

"I want to be left alone."

"I will take you back to your room. The translation program is being transferred to the room's computer so you can speak to the nurses and the doctors."

"Thank you, I'm sorry I never caught your name."

"Just call me Doc."

I am escorted to my room and I break down. I cry for my people. An hour later the nurse brings me lunch, I cannot describe to you what it looks like but it is good cold. I goto the bathroom and get into bed and sleep.

The nurse comes in and wakes me for dinner. I roll over and sit up. The nurse places the tray on the table and I eat. I wonder what is going to happen to me. I don't get long to consider it.

"Hi, Doc."

"How are you feeling?"

"A little drained from all the news that I have heard. Please tell me you have some news for me."

"After you are released, we will train you in our language and customs and then release you into our world. And if possible, try to get you back home if you wish."

"I will consider the possibility of never being able to go home again."

"We will do everything possible to get you home again. I promise on my life."

"Don't make promises that you cannot keep."

We laugh on that. I go back to sleep after the meeting.

I am awakened by a doctor and he does a complete examination of me using several instruments. I don't understand how they work but they do. The doctor then informs me that I can be released as soon as this afternoon. The wait is killing me but soon I am released to Doc's protection and whisked to a conference room where a news conference is taking place. I am introduced to the crowd of reporters. I see rabbits, foxes, wolves, and several other species that I can not identify right away.

I speak first, "Greetings from my planet, I come in peace."

The questions are fast and furious, several times Doc comes in and rescues me from questions I don't know the answer to. The questions and answers last an hour and I am whisked off to a vehicle.

"Here, put this on." Doc says after handing me a package. I open the package and see what looks like a small block with a belt clip and a wireless headset.

"What is this for?"

"This is to translate for you when we are in public so I can give you instructions."

I put it on and listen to everything around me. I hear birds sing and people speaking. I follow Doc to a vehicle with no wheels.

"Get in."

I get in the seat and the vehicle takes off vertically. Then movement goes forward. I watch as the scenery goes by at several hundred miles an hour. After an hour we arrive at a small house in the country. We land and I get out to see the environment I have been placed in.

Doc goes to the door and speaks, "Unlock and allow new person access."

The door opens and I hear, "Welcome home, master and guest, please state name for voice recognition.

I state my name and the computer allows me access to the system. Doc then uploads the translation program into the system and I take off my headset.

"My house is your house."

"Thank you. Won't I be intruding on your life."

"Not at all, Andrew. Our first priority is to get you settled and ready to live by yourself. I feel responsible for you since I was the one to push the button to bring you here."

"You don't have to be responsible for me, I'm sure I could survive without you someway"

"Not in this world, for one thing you might get killed for something simple like showing your teeth."

"Really."

"Yes, really. Showing teeth shows that you are threatened and could get you into a fight that you can not win."

"I'll have to remember that. No toothy smiles."

I learn more about the culture of the people I am going to live with for the rest of my life.

Hours later, Doc says what would I like for dinner. I say something simple. I hear something that doesn't translate and I hear something about a steak and vegetable blend. I agree and Doc asks me how I want it cooked. I say as long as it isn't bleeding when I cut into it is all right for me. He calls out to the house and in an alcove a plate with two steaks and a plate of vegetables appear. Doc places the vegetables in a steamer and the steaks on a grill. As the food cooks I look at the alcove.

"What do you find so interesting about the food processor?"

"How does it work?"

"I don't know but it takes material and processes it into other materials. I work on other technology like the wormhole that brought you here. The computer can explain once you have been taught to read."

"I want to thank you for everything you have done for me."

"No problem. I like you even though you look strange."

Dinner is finished and we eat. We make conversation and it gets interesting in parts especially after I tell him about our technology and how far we have traveled in space.

I goto the bedroom and see my backpack and all my supplies and even my tent.

"This bedroom is yours to use and all the stuff that came trough the portal is here. I hope it is all yours."

"Everything I had taken with me is here."

"What was you doing before we found you."

"I was camping."

"What is camping?"

"For fun a person or group of people carry all the basics into a wooded area and set up a camp where they survive for a few days on the supplies they brought with them."

"All right, your people does it for real. I would not."

"The smell of wood fire and cooking over an open flame. I would love to go back and live like that."

"Show me some of the stuff that you have."

I tell Doc about everything including the stove and the mess kit. I grab a set of clothes and head for the bathroom. Doc shows me how to operate the shower and the air dryer. I take a shower and get blown dry. I go to the living area and see Doc in a conversation with a rabbit on what looks like a video phone. I sit down in a chair while waiting for Doc to finish.

Doc turns to me and says, "Andrew, that was my assistant. She just told me that you have been approved for refugee status. Now you have rights and some currency to help you out in the world."

I thank Doc and I go up to my room and pack away the tent and all my other supplies. I set everything down and climb into bed and fall asleep.

I have a nightmare on where the end of the world has happened. I see everything die and I am vaporized. I wake up. I get up and head for the kitchen and get a drink of water. I see Doc working on something and I snoop behind his shoulder.

"Shouldn't you be sleeping."

"I had a nightmare, a bad dream."

"Poor dear, tell me about it."

I tell Doc all about the dream and I feel better for it. I go back to bed.

The next morning I get up and get greeted to breakfast. I am hungry. I eat breakfast and get ready for the day.

"Today after we receive your documentation, we are going to go shopping for clothing. You don't have enough to last for several days. I know a place that you might like.

Two hours later I have my documentation and a credit card with 50 thousand dactaries.(the local currency). We are in the hover car and heading for the city. I watch as the scenery passes by. By the time we land I wonder if I am going to go home.

We arrive at the shop and I see robotic models showing off the latest fashions. I think it is ugly. All the bright colors, unnatural. I am lead to a stage and a what looks like a ferret speaks.

"Doc, long time no see. And who is your friend."

"This is Andrew, he is a refugee from his planet."

"I see, I see that he need clothes then."

"Yes, and I recommended you, something basic nothing flashy."

"I have just the thing. Basic clothing for a basic being."

I am lead to a dressing area and asked to remove everything except my underwear. I come out and into the coolness of the room. I am told to stand with my hands at shoulder level and a laser scans me. I am allowed to dress and we are told to return in a cronar. I look over accessories like a watch and don't see what I like.

"Come with me."

"Where are we going?"

"You will see."

I am lead into a department store and lead into the children's area. Doc speaks to store employee and informs them on my handicap on language. They specially program a language tutor system for me. This thing will teach me everything on language and spelling and the settings are from child to adult. I am trying it out and getting proficient with it when I leave to pick up my clothing.

We return to the clothier and pick up a dozen shirts, pants and underwear. I thank the clothier and we return to the hover car.

"That went well. Did you like the language tutor?"

"Yes, yes I did."

"Good, it can teach you while I am at work. I have a Nanny bot brought in to keep you company. Not that I don't trust you but it will be easier on both of us."

We fly to the showroom for the Nanny bots. We are shown several lifelike models in various species. I pick the rabbit looking model because I like rabbits and we get into negotiations on what features I wish. Doc orders the adult option with realistic vagina and tits. I am told later that even if I don't use it, it is there for me. The mothering module is adjusted for an adult and we take her home.

I help drag the Nanny bot into the living area and activate her. Doc programs her with instructions and allows her to get used to the house. I am tired and hungry and Doc cooks again.

The next day I am awakened by the Nanny bot and told to rise and groom. I do so under protest and head down for breakfast. I am greeted to a large breakfast that I have a little trouble putting away. The nanny bot does the dishes and I get to work on learning the language
