Prologue
Wormholes have captured people’s imagination for decades. Theories state that if somehow, someone manages to enter a black hole without being spaghettified, then they will travel through a wormhole, get spit out of a white hole, and go time traveling. Other theories define a wormhole as a “passageway in space”, meaning that if someone passes through one, then they will be able to visit every corner of the galaxy. No matter how many studies are done and how many theories are made, one question remains. “Are wormholes real, or are they just a figment of a person’s imagination?” Well, in the year 17,019, 15,000 after 2019, Benjamin (Ben) E. Matton, a well-known astronaut from Greenville, South Carolina, answered that question. Wormholes, white holes, light speed, and time traveling were real, or at least, Benjamin was certain they were. To prove his theory, he sent his only son, seventeen year old Daniel (Dan) Matton, into space to be devoured by a black hole deep in the Milky Way. Dan Matton not only took a trip through space; he took a trip through the past, present, and future, and today, we’re going to be hearing his story, and how he changed the world forever. Stay tuned.

What a wild and unique way to kick off a time-travel story! Framing the prologue like a documentary or TV broadcast hooks you right away, and Benjamin casually launching his own son into a black hole to prove a point is insane. Really excited to see how Dan survives all these prehistoric creatures!
