“Travelling through Time!” Kim reacted with shock.
“It can be possible, you may be right Kay”, said Zoe.
“But if it is so how do travel back to present from the past?” asked Kim, her shock subsiding.
“Ummm.. I don’t know everything you know”, said Zoe with irritation.
“Wait a minute. Isn’t it that few decades back when Time Travel was under development a person named Alif was stuck in future and couldn’t travel back to present. A series of such incidents followed like it where it became impossible for people to travel back to the right time. They were stuck in another time for the rest of their lives”, said Kim.

Sight was mesmerizing if only you had no thoughts of being stuck at a place with no Xenagogy available.

“Say something Zoe!” demanded Kay. It seemed like Kim and Kay exchanged the roles. Kim had become calmer and Kay was the one who getting on the nerves of everyone now.

“I don’t know where we are except the co-ordinates that say we shouldn’t be or couldn’t be here. And we are definitely not in the past!”
Both the sisters gaped at him.
“Then where are we?” they asked him in unison.
“Present”, he said.
