I stopped going to Phillips Seafood at the Inner Harbor about 15 years ago related to the large influx of Morlocks roaming around. It had been a regular stop for me when traveling I-95.
Even when I was young and read “The Time Machine”, I felt that the Morlocks got a bad rap. If you step back from the story a bit and ask, “Who were the producers?” The Morlocks. Yes, a bit ugly and maybe living underground did not give them the best PR but now look at the Eloy. Beautiful, young, lazy, uncaring, and stupid. The Morlocks put the Eloy to their highest and best use. I would say you were running into Morlocks in appearance, but Eloy in their soul.
