In The Time Machine, H. G. Wells presents two horrifying visions of the future. In one, the Eloi fear the meat-eating Morlocks, who feed on the gentle Eloi. In the other, humanity has been destroyed. The time traveler returns home, chastened by his experiences. A brilliant inventor tells his dinner guests that he has built a time machine. He describes the machine in detail and later uses it to travel to the distant future. He meets the Eloi, a race of gentle people plagued by the Morlocks, a race of "masters" who live underground and feed upon the Eloi. The time traveler must battle the Morlocks to retrieve his time machine.
