Chapter XXIII
UNRECORDED HISTORY To me, the rest of those sixty minutes were a vague, drab dream of things horrible to see. Awesome--but though the rocking, shattering Turber city went down while I watched, it all seemed dreamlike. My mind was on that torn heap of wreckage which had been Turber's Time-vehicle. Nanette's body lying somewhere there. Alan seemed dazed.
