D. P. from tomorrow

In a bustling 1950s city newsroom, a ragtag crew of editors, copyboys and seasoned reporters keep the press machine humming. Ed Kerry fields the endless stream of callers asking for trivial facts—Byron’s death date, Lincoln’s bullet caliber—while his colleagues swap jokes about their collective encyclopedic memory. The atmosphere crackles with dry humor, the banter of Jake, Sam, Kitty and the rest painting a vivid portrait of a profession that lives on facts, gossip and the occasional absurd request.

That ordinary rhythm is shattered when a mysterious “refugee” claims to have slipped in from another space‑time continuum. The editors, half‑skeptical and half‑intrigued, see a chance for a story that could be more than a laugh‑line. As they scramble to verify the impossible, the newsroom becomes a crucible where scientific wonder, media hubris and human curiosity collide, promising a tale that is as witty as it is thought‑provoking.
