Chapter 3: A Strange Observation (1)
Hours passed, and it was evening now, yet the sun remained overhead.
They wouldn’t have known it was evening if it wasn’t for Dr. Alaric’s mechanical watch. Since he often worked with fossils and visited places with electromagnetic interference, using such watches had become a habit for him.

Without the watch, at least they could have fooled themselves. But now hours had passed, and no one came to their rescue. No police, no firefighters, no one.
