In 1900, renowned civil engineer Bernard Campbell was thrown from his world into 2010, where gleaming skyscrapers and futuristic technology left him in disbelief. As he navigates the future's marvels—and dangers—he encounters a man who shares an uncanny resemblance to him: his descendant. Bernard soon realizes that his trip to the future was no accident and now wonders if he can return to his own time or if he’s stuck here. This will be the third story in the Rosen Bridge Chronicle Anthology.
