Book review: The Time Machine

The time traveller invented  the time machine, and went to time travelling to the future. He went to 802701 AD (Original: Eight Hundred and Two Thousand Seven Hundred and One AD). In the time on earth, only exist two human-like animals -- Eloi and Morlock. 


Eloi are weak, tiny, happily, living on the ground and eating fruit. Morlock are totally different from Eloi, they strong, powerful, evil, living under ground (e.g. cave), and they eating meat -- Eloi's body.


When the time traveller arrived future, he was invited to play with Eloi, when he exploring this new world, he found his time machine disappeared! That made him to  search some cave and well. That is the reason how he found Morlock.


Exactly, Morlocks  stole his time machine, and hid behind a bronze gate, he use his weapon -- matches to against Morlock. he failed and lost his only one friend -- Weena. 


At last, he find his machine, travelling back to present. But he could not give up his only friend, so he decided to travelled back, and never retune again.


Actually, I do not really understand, why he didn't use torch? It is easier way to resist Morlock!

In this story, all creature were extinct, except Eloi and Morlock. I think it may be truth! What if we does not stop polluting environment,  what if nuclear war break (like the story "on the beach", all people died in the end.). I think it is really possible to happen...
