-1Goodbye Sam, I'm afraid no one else is here to say goodbye to you today. A voice told him.
This reminded him of what Maya had said to him when he was in 1973.
Sam remembered her exact first words and the exact way she had delivered them, this ran through his mind,
"I hate goodbyes Sam, they are always the hardest".
What was happening? Where was he going? These questions ran through his brain although he would probably never find out.
Where had this voice came from 2007 or 1973. The last thing he had heard from 1973 was Annie crying desperately and telling him not to go. How long had it been since then? A minute? An hour? A few days? He did not know. He wanted to go home and this time it was 1973.
An excruciating pain ran through his right arm and both his legs. What on earth was going on? He could hear the sound of a heart monitor but no other hospital machinery which he thought was strange.
59...58...57...
The countdown had begun.
