Release Message:  An inventor takes another with him in a time machine, before deciding to seek out a time more suited to his abilities. Written by H.G. Wells.

Description:  An inventor takes another with him in a time machine, before deciding to leave for a time where he will fit in more. /// This brief story begins with a third-person account of the arrival of a mysterious inventor to the peaceful Welsh town of Llyddwdd. Dr. Moses Nebogipfel takes up residence in a house sorely neglected after the deaths of its former inhabitants. The main bulk of the story concerns the apprehension of the simple rural folk who eventually storm the inventor's "devilish" workshop in an effort to repay supposed witchery. Nebogipfel escapes with one other person„the sympathetic Reverend Elijah Ulysses Cook„in what is later revealed to be a time machine. The next part picks up with an unnamed "Author" character discovering the dazed Reverend Cook returned from unbelievable exploits after having been missing for three weeks. The remainder of the story is the Reverend's short retelling (again in the third-person) of the events that took place that night and the revelation that Nebogipfel is an "Anachronic Man" whose genius drives him to seek out a time more suited to his abilities.
