Explanation:
The given extract is taken from 'The Third Level' by Jack Finney.
The theme of the story is about a person who wants to run away from reality.
Charley, the main protagonist, finds the third level in the Grand Central Station.
One day, while returning home from work, he got lost in the Grand Central and found himself in the third level.
He found that this third level of the station corresponded to his old town Galesburg.
Charley saw a newspaper 'The World' and he was surprised to find it because the newspaper was not published in today's time.
