  • Buying Time
    Nov 22 2010

    This story gives merely a glimpse of two young people who fall in love at first sight, and of the time-bending company they both work for: Chronomatics. Learn about Chronomatics' unique services, all of which make use of a form of time dilation to either seem to add more hours to your day (relative to the world at large) or allow you to skip over whole decades of time as though only a single night's sleep had passed. Learn about the challenges, one after another after another, which spring up to test the strength of their love as though to see whether it can be lost as easily and quickly as it was found. Your conceptions of love and your understanding of time may be challenged by Buying Time.

  • Iteration, Interruption - part 2
    Nov 15 2010

    In part 2, Robert gets to see the future (and Earth's destruction) for himself, finds out that there's more to his future self's story than at first he'd let on, then learns that even repeated time travel may not be enough to prevent a terrible future.

  • Iteration, Interruption - part 1
    Nov 7 2010

    This story is about the inventor of a revolutionary new technology embodied in a device which allows stable wormholes to be created in spacetime, linking any two of them together. Such a device would allow humanity to travel to space for next to no cost, and herald a new age of expansion into the Solar system. It could allow humanity to contact an alien race and attempt a peaceful relationship. But first, before the technology is ever tested, it gets used by a future version of the inventor to create a wormhole backward in time, intending to alter history and prevent a terrible future from ever occurring. In part 1, Robert Weyth's future self comes back in time and, while others from the future begin to carry out their plan to save Earth, explains to himself the history of the future he's trying to prevent.

  • All a Dream
    Nov 7 2010

    In this brief essay, I address the narrative style wherein an author, usually at the last minute, cancels out everything else they wrote and makes the entire experience a waste of time.

  • Family Forward - part 1
    Oct 25 2010

    This story follows the actions of a couple who seem to have been together forever, who want to be able to create children of their own, and who will stop at nothing to do so. Involving stem cell research, cloning, mind control, human sacrifices, eventual success ... and what comes after, this story isn't afraid to touch on sensitive issues to get where it wants to go, or to take things even further from there. In part 1, Prince and Penny Pallas find themselves and their requests turned down by scientist after scientist, and must turn to a disgraced and unethical (but brilliant) researcher to give them the babies they've been longing for.

  • This Sixth Day
    Oct 19 2010

    An essay about a possible interpretation of God's perspective of time, relative to the "seven day week" of creation and our place in it. On the nth readthrough, I realized that I summarized much of the entire Bible in a few short pages, providing yet another iteration of the fractal story of creation. Which may make sense after you hear/read this essay.
