chapter 1: neon blue tube

it's the year 2050 and we recently found out how to time travel. random orphans are taken from the streets and "invited" to a government base so the government can experiment on them.
fifteen-year-old boy Oliver is ordered to travel back to the Victorian era and dethrone Queen Victoria by revealing her darkest secrets or he'll suffer serious consequences.
Instead, he meets another boy and ends up having a progressing "friendship" with him.

a pretty dumb move.
