About This Book

A young inventor, Professor C. Cydwick Ohms, unveils a device that opens a one-way passage into the past as a solution to overcrowding, proposing relocation to a mid-twentieth-century Texas. Demonstration backfires: although the inventor steps through, he does not vanish and the gateway instead admits a surge of stampeded cattle and chaotic consequences. The story satirically explores technological hubris, simplistic solutions to complex social problems, and unforeseen results when grand plans encounter messy realities.
