This is a short one, but I think this deserves all the good mojo. Congrats. =)

Professor Morgenstern built an especially huge robot, personally piloting it, and triumphantly kidnapped the girl from her house. It was all chivalry, of course: the mother was allowed to live in a spacious palace, and she would get full service of Professor Morgenstern's automatons. There was no evil intent there.
For the first time in his life, Professor Morgenstern had no answer. So Professor Morgenstern forced a smile at the ever-gazing sun, tore off the shield-device from his arm, and leaped off his tallest tower to his death.
When Professor Morgenstern was young, he had a rule: anything is possible with enough time and resources. Then he invented his Matter Converter, and anything became possible with enough time. Then he invented his Time Machine.
The riddle solved itself without equations, the hole in his heart, though still present, knew what it wanted. There was a girl.
"Morgenstern, I've made a mistake," she said, again and again and again and again. "I don't love you. I don't love you. I don't love you."
Then he invented his Time Machine.
But then there was a girl.
mind-bending maths
There was a girl.
At first, Professor Morgenstern wanted to erase her mother's mind and make her think it was alright for them to be together, but the girl was rather against the idea.
On whichever alternate timeline, on whatever attempt, he gave up and left her but a bloody mark in his bed-chamber.
He yelled profanity at the reckless driver, but wasted no time because he was yet to build his time machine.
