You are with your class on a field trip to the White House and the tour is going really well! So far, you’ve learned that the White House was burnt by the British in the 1800’s and the Franklin Roosevelt was president during WWII. The guide walks through the White House until we are standing outside the Oval Office. She reaches out to open the door and suddenly everything starts spinning.
When it finally stops the entire room had changed! There is static on the radio and then suddenly we hear, “Yesterday, December 7th, 1941—a date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked.”
“Oh No,” said the tour guide. “It happened again! We have been sent back to the beginning of WWII! There is only one way to get back and it is to open the time portal in that box. Unfortunately, we only have 45 minutes until the portal closes and we are stuck here forever!”
