As Time Goes By

Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury, there is a house that doesn’t even know everyone is gone and continues as normal. It burns down shortly after this. In Wind on the Hill by A. A. Milne, they talk about the wind and where it goes, how you follow it and no one knows where the wind goes.

I feel that The Time Traveler is a believable character. I believe that he is a believable character because he is an inventor. Inventors…
