The book starts with the time traveler inviting some friends over. He starts to explain how they live in four dimensions, height, length, weight, and time. Meaning nothing can just appear it must go through evolution and develop to it's surroundings. It has to gradually develop. He keeps proving his different opinions on time traveling and ends by telling them about the machine. I think that it was a good idea for him to keep proving he was right but he shouldn't have told them about the machine because information could have leaked, leading to the theft of the machine.

The second night was like the previous one, still nobody believed the time traveler. There weren't any real decisions in this chapter that affected the book. The reason is because this chapter is setting up the story.

The next day in the book the time traveler makes a big decision. This is where he first tests it by going forward a few hours in time. He then uses the machine to go into t

When he got out of the time machine he took a few removable levers so the machine couldn't be used. I think this is one of his best ideas because he only has one machine so he needed to keep it safe. After he realized some one took his machine, he went crazy looking for it. During this frantic period he notices a metal sphinx. He pounds on it and thinks he hears laughter. He shouldn't have gotten so crazy because the time machine was unusable without the levers he had with him. Later he saved Weena one of the new creatures from drowning. This is another really good idea because she could help him as his guide on this "new" planet.

When the time traveler retuned he saw the place where he saved Weena. It hurt him inside to remember that place. When he finally reaches his destination he rests and then goes into the sphinx. I think that he should have gotten more supplies together before going into the sphinx. He finds his machine in the sphinx and goes to time travel again.

He left the ruins seeing no trace of his machine. This was a good idea because of how dangerous it was down there. His attempts to get back to the sphinx quickly were hard tho
