What if time can be converted into energy the way motion and energy are linked? Time moves or flows like a luggage belt at the airport , isn’t it? There must be some underlying forces that requires it to do so and it must be infinite. Flow of time affects everything , which is what is known as Second Law of Thermodynamics.

Everyone grows old and in the process our cells are regenerated again and again and again till death. If any of the cell doesn’t die , it is known as Cancer. And the realization of time as unlimited energy source was achieved in the early 21st century by a group of scientists on the third moon base. They termed it “Timergy”.

It would be another hundred years before a serious research into the Timergy was initiated by one of the great-grandson of the scientists that pioneered the formula. The end result was that by the end of the 23rd century , mankind had tapped the unlimited energy source. And that was when the problems started.

Just as there are side effects to radiation if we are ever close to the nuclear plants , there are also time sickness. It was first encountered by one of the engineers that involved in the time engine. After working on the project for some times , he became ill. Tests shows his body suddenly aged by several decades. Then suddenly , he became well again.

This behavior was seen across various group later and a new rule was established to limit the working hours near the engine. But , it was further realized that time sickness was not like radiation sickness , it was actually time travel. People weren’t getting diseases , their bodies were getting older as if they had spent years within a short time for most of us.

They had traveled in time , literally. And this is where the energies are being generated , friction between one moment to next , like air friction.

The end.
