## Resource

A lone traveler builds a vessel of brass and bone and drifts 800,000 years into a dying future, where the sun hangs red and the Eloi dance while the Morlocks rule below.He loses a loved one, witnesses humanity's decline, and tries to return to warn the past—only to find wisdom doesn't always travel with time.
