“I can’t think of a better reason for inventing time travel, can you?” I, Isaac Heinlein, genius and man about town, scratched my chin, my new beard always made me itchy. “Yeah, but it won’t work, Ray. You’ve seen the movies, it never works properly. There’s butterfly effects and parallel universes and, lets see, grandfather paradoxes, time quakes, broken DeLoreans, Red Lectroids—“ “The Red Lectroids were in the eighth di...

A raging thunderstorm interrupted my repeating dream of Colleen. I dreamed about her a lot. My encounter with Colleen was a missed opportunity but when you're 17, without a lot of worldly experience, it's easy to miss signals. I always regretted missing her signals. Colleen worked with my mother in an office. She was just out of college and this was her first job, her first apartment, and the first time to be alone in a b...

"Fuck! No way!" said Sally. "Yeah, sounds a bit dubious," agreed Kim, looking at the poster on the wall of the firm's tea room. Charity Date Auction Friday 16th, 6pm "Fucking disgusting," said Sally, "I mean, how is that sort of thing even allowed these days? It's so sexist." "Oh, come on ladies," said Dave, "it's just a bit of harmless fun! And it's for a very worthy cause." "But what does it mean exactly?" asked Kim, su...

The nausea isn't as all-consuming as usual when I crawl in my underwear across the air-conditioned lock-up to lie gasping and perspiring at its edge. I must be acclimating to time jumps. Coherent thought's a luxury in these first few minutes so I simply wait for my breathing to steady and the shivering to kick in as the chequer plate metal floor absorbs whatever residual heat I possess. That way, at least I know I'm alive...

What are the chances? Sure, it’s easy to figure out that half the time the coin will come up heads. But what about the seemingly random events that led to the stars, the sun, the Earth and the moon? How about incidental plagues that defeated invading armies? And then there was this stone. It was an unusual, pretty stone. How likely was it that this rock that coalesced in space would have just those elements and crystalize...

Growing up, I became interested in space and I blame my mom.  She always had Star Trek or Star Wars on TV.  Mom was also big on aliens. So, as you can imagine, that’s where I was drawn to.  I always imagined being on a shuttle going into space for NASA. I do work for NASA, but I doubt I will ever get into space.  I work in the IT/Security Dept. Computers run pretty much everything nowadays.  So, if they break, you must ha...

  The Revenge of a Teenage Genius Bryan Callway had to juggle the competing interests of his life. There were so many things for a seventeen-year-old boy to keep track of. There was time spent with his parents, who loved and cherished him. There was time spent at school, where he pretended to work hard to maintain his 5.0 GPA so as to not scare the other students or teacher. Then of course there was the time spent trying...
