The End of the Experiment
by Peter Clines
In the twenty-first century, on the very spot in London where Wells’s Traveller first
had his dinner party, physics student Jon has a similar party with his own friends and
his own tiny model of a time machine.
At the heart of it was a small seat carved from wood, almost a saddle, and before it was
a console, barely two inches across, decorated with levers of what looked like glass and
bone.
