Eleanor flicked the on/off button in frustration. Lying in front of her was a chaotic bricolage of circuit boards, wires and lights. Though the lights kept blinking nothing else had happened.

Sometimes she could be a gullible fool. All she wanted was a good mark for her UCAS applications. The plan she had devised had seemed foolproof:

(1) Set-up Time Machine bought off Ebay with dad’s credit card.

(2) Go to exam. Memorise questions.

(3) At home, jump back to day before exam.

(4) Retake exam. Pass.

Yet she was still here.
