Publisher's summary

This 10,000 word short story won an honorable mention in 2017 from the "Writers of the Future" contest. It sold twice prior to its first publication in my collection, "Through A Wine Glass Darkly," published by the Australian publisher, "Gypsum Sound Tales. The first two sales were to a magazine in the UK. I got paid, but it went out of business before publication. An well-known online magazine bought the story and paid me the then current professional rate, but ceased publishing, as well. Didn't seem fair to submit it anywhere else, I'd like folks to stay in business.

In the 21st Century, a professor hires a hot air balloon for an scientific experiment. He's invented a functional time machine, but his calibrations are off by a couple hundred years. Is Ben Franklin is smart enough to help the pilot and scientist build the things they need to find their way back home?
