Chuck was relieved to find a jean jacket on his way out of the woman’s house; after trekking across town, he was even more thankful to turn off the power from the street without incident. He didn’t find any signs of his family’s bodies anywhere--at least for now--but his first priority had to be to fix his machine; it would be the only way to get everyone back to normal once he did locate them. When he made he way down to the basement, he just stared at his machine for a moment. He had caused so much trouble, so many problems. If he had been the only person affected, he would’ve destroyed it, but he felt an obligation to get everyone back to their proper body. He leaned down and started tinkering, repairing broken circuits and replacing blown out parts.
