Marty woke up to the loud ringing of his alarm clock. He rolled over in his bed at saw the clocking flashing 9:00. He jumped out of bed realizing how late it was and kept saying to himself, "I'm late, I'm late, I'm sooo late. He knew that one more detention meant summer school for him, but Marty had other plans, more important plans, and definitely more fun than sitting in a hot room with a boring teacher learning things he already knew or didn't care about. One of those plans was to go time traveling, just like any normal 17 year old kid and a crazy scientist friend would do. Duh!

He hopped into his new, shiny black SUV drove to his school. The roads were strangely empty which Marty took to be an odd sign. When Marty pulled into the empty school parking lot, there were no cars. "Wait a minute...why's it empty?" thought Marty. He looked around and something just didn't seem right; nobody was around town and, come to think of it, he hadn't even seen his parents this morning. "This is heavy," groaned Marty as he took the familiar road to Doc's house. Marty had the strange feeling that he would shortly be hurtling through time in the DeLorean that Doc had created in his lab. After all, he told Marty, he wanted to travel in style.

He got out of his car and got the key from under Doc's doormat. Marty mentally reminded himself to let Doc know that that probably wasn't a very good hiding spot. He walked inside and immediately didn't like what he saw. Papers were strewn everywhere, books and clothing covered the floor, machines were smashed, but amidst the rubble was a letter addressed to Marty. It read:

"Dear Marty,
By now you must have realized that you are the only person left in town. I have been taken as a hostage by Biff and his gang, he stole the time machine when Clara and I had been in for a visit. He must have seen us flying through the sky and took it for himself. Biff told me to tell him how to run the machine or I'd never see Clara or my boys again. I could only assume that he was once again trying to get to your mother and make Hill Valley hell for all of us while he reaped the benefits. I don't have much time left to explain what your next course of action will be because my new freeze ray will only work for a short time.

What you must do is this: first, find Biff and see if there is some way for you to get more information about his unoriginal plot to your Mother; second, Clara will be able to help because she had escaped when Biff's crony had her. She has all the equipment you'll need to stop him; thirdly, don't forget to feed Einstein."

"Wait, I thought everything was gone," said Marty to himself.

"No, only people are gone, Marty," the letter read, "you'll find Einstein safe and sound in his force field dog house out back. Best of luck to you! -Doc."

"Yeah, I knew this would be heavy." thought Marty as he walked into force-

"Owwwwwww!!! Damn, that hurt!" he yelled as 1,000 volts of electricity shot through his body.

"P.S. The force field can be turned off by a button near the oak tree. Shut it off before going near the house or you'll be shocked by 1,000 volts, very painful. Be careful!" the letter said as Marty just realized there was a post script.

"This is gonna be a long day." said Marty to himself as he rubbed his arms and pushed the off button near the tree. "And I didn't even get any breakfast!" he said, thinking about a nice plate of scrambled eggs, toast, and a glass of orange juice.
