“Awesome!” the enthusiastic and adventurous dachshund puppy exclaimed. “A time machine!”
He examined the machine closely. There was a dial with different settings in very small letters that read:
CAVEMAN TIMES
ANCIENT EGYPT
MEDIEVAL TIMES
THE WILD WEST
A WEEK AGO TUESDAY
“Awesome!” the bubbly and ready-for-anything Howie exclaimed. Again. “I wonder whose time machine this is.”
Just then a boy stepped out from behind a barrel. It was Tobias, Ma and Pa Monroe’s youngest son and Howie’s favorite member of the family.
(NOTE to the real Monroes: I like all of you!! This is a work of fiction!!)
“Howie,” Tobias said, “I think we’d better use this time machine to escape. I’m afraid the house is going to fall in on top of us.”
