Chronoanomalia

Time machine invented by Dr. Granera described in the piece as follows:

Dr. Granger was holding a small cube with dials and a switch.

Sufficient to put the hands to the desired date, he explained, is to press the button and you will get to where you want.

The process of time travel in the story is described quite simply:

Smitli pressed the button. His eyes clouded, and he found himself on a fallow field.
