It had been a dark neighborhood secret that nobody seemed to know fully. When my grandmother passed away, she left me the house. I had spent summers there as a kid and remember hearing about something weird that had happened at Mrs. Lupens place next door. Her son Sherman had mysteriously disappeared as a young boy. Mrs. Lupens eventually had to go into a nursing home, so we took care of her house. There was a door in the basement that was all chained and locked and nailed up. Curiosity got the best of me one night and I went down there and started working on the locks and pulling the nails. When I finally got it open, I carefully went inside, not knowing what I would find. In the back of the musty cobweb-covered room, there was a dim bluish light from an old television screen and other tiny blinking lights. As my face brushed past the string to an overhead light, I turned it on and looked in awe. A huge computerlike machine took up most the wall. It was covered with dials, knobs and gauges. There was something distinctively handbuilt about this contraption. As I looked around the room, it had the usual junk anyone would keep in a basement. An old bike, furniture, newspapers and a dog house. I chuckled at the name on the doghouse. Mr.Peabody. Just like the old cartoon, "Peabody and Sherman". A shiver went up my spine. I looked back at the machine and saw the letters- WABAC. This was the Wayback Machine and it was still running. *** I made this image three years ago and always liked it and the idea. I decided to rebuild the machine from scratch and redo the whole thing, then tie it in with the locked door image from week ago. Some of you young whippersnappers may not know about Peabody and Sherman. It was a cartoon that played within the Rocky & Bullwinkle Show in the early 60's. Peabody, a brilliant dog would take a boy named Sherman, back in time to visit famous events in a wacky manner. It was an unusual cartoon in that a kid could actually learn something. Something that never happens anymore with the modern tv cartoon show which are basically 30 minute commercials. WABAC is a play on the first computer called UNIVAC
