The Time Machine, The Palace of Green Porcelain

A museum of everything, deep in dust, whale bones, dead machines, and a box of matches that still strikes.

Retold for sleep from The Time Machine by H. G. Wells, first published in 1895 and long out of copyright. The story is Wells's; every sentence here is our own.
