Synopsis "The Runaway Skyscraper"
Murray Leinster, an American author, wrote the science fiction short tale "The Runaway Skyscraper." A midtown Manhattan office building is where Arthur Chamberlain, an engineer, works in "The Runaway Skyscraper." Chamberlain is the only one who notices what is occurring as the sun abruptly starts to go backward in the sky. The structure is subsiding as a result of a fault in the granite beneath it, but rather than advancing across space, it is doing so backward. Chamberlain also understands that the seismic forces that caused the building to fall into the past can be used to bring it back into the present, but that doing so will require several weeks of hard work by the inhabitants of the building, who must prioritize taking care of their food in the interim. They can form hunting and fishing expeditions for the other occupants when Chamberlain persuades the head of a bank on the first level that he can get them back in time. Two weeks later, Chamberlain is prepared to put his strategy into action, and it succeeds! Reversing its previous time journey, the structure arrives back at the precise instant it left the present.
