* FishOutOfTemporalWater: H. G. Wells and Dr. John Stevenson (aka Jack the Ripper) travel from 1893 London to 2017 New York City. Stevenson adjusts better, quickly adopting contemporary clothes and technology, while Wells is initially stunned by the experience, especially that his longed-for utopia didn't happen.

Determined to stop Stevenson from using this to escape justice and wreaking more havoc in what he thinks will then be an unsuspecting utopia, Wells sets out in the time machine after him. After his arrival, Wells finds to his surprise that the time machine is in a New York City museum on display. Naturally, no one displays his claims of traveling through time or who he is. After being released, Wells goes on the hunt for Dr. Stevenson. Jack the Ripper has plans of his own though...
