Charles had spent months meticulously researching the proper protocols and now he was finally going to met Him. His weekend getaway at Number 29 would make his dream a reality.

He entered the coordinates and felt a tingling sensation as the interior of Number 29 slowly changed to the scene of a large garden party. Everyone turned to stare at him. Something was wrong. This wasn’t Via del Pellegrino.

Charles heard someone yell “frisby on the wreake” and a naked man appeared beside him. Charles began to panic. Something was horribly wrong.

“Sir, I think your time travel machine has an outdated 1970s GPS. The Vatican is 100km that way.”
