The clock is ticking for Tom, who arrived by mistake in 2026 BC at an Armenian sheep pasture. He can see torches in the distance, coming from a village. Frantic, he tries to remember what went wrong. “I meant to type Ardmore, but it autocorrected to Armenia,” he nervously mumbles. (For a protagonist, Tom has rather fat fingers.) “Wait! Here’s a button that says, ‘Return to Original Time and Place.’” He mashes it and floors the DeLorean, narrowly dodging a snarling Gampr. Tom blasts safely back home and promptly puts the DeLorean on Craigslist: “Free Time Machine. Local Pickup Only.”
