Title: The Time Traveler’s Mistake

Level: Intermediate (B1)

#Story :

Professor Ethan Grayson builds a time machine with the goal of traveling to Ancient Egypt. However, due to a tiny error in his calculations, he is sent millions of years into the past, to the age of the dinosaurs. While trying to fix his mistake, Ethan is chased by a T. rex but narrowly escapes. Unfortunately, in his panic, he sets the machine to the wrong coordinates again and ends up in a futuristic world, far beyond his own time. Realizing that he has lost control of his machine, Ethan makes one more attempt to return home. Instead, he finds himself stranded in a vast desert with no sign of life, realizing that he is hopelessly lost in time.
