Short Story
Time Haven
- by Howard Wandrei
- Astounding Stories, September 1934
Vincent Merryfield, the “alien” of his family for the sin of being a scientist, builds a time machine that takes him to the year 2443 where the rest of his family has died out and he is the sole owner of everything within sight of his seven-mile-high tower in Manhattan—but how did everyone know he was coming? Sadly, it may be that that the time travel was not entirely what it appeared to be. —Michael Main
Of course! It has always been known that you would ‘appear’ sooner or later.
