"...dumplings"
A year ago my Dark Matter pocket watch. My sentient time machine shut herself off. She's slept in my fridge since.
The other afternoon she chimed, and woke up.
October 22nd, 1148 CE, 5:36pm.
I portaled to what would one day be Virginia.
I came to watch the sun set.
Still. Quiet. I could hear the faintest breeze whistle in my ears. The buzz of every insect the step of every living thing near me.
I sat, and beheld a pre-industrial evening. The sky empty of men was already filling with bright stars. I scented the aroma of the ocean half a hundred miles away.
If not for bears I would have slept the night.
West 28th Street Manhattan,...current time.
Smears of neon. Noise. Chaos.
I went to a Chinese take-out had dumplings, and tea.

ReplyDeleteawwwww, i was hoping the Wikipedia info on the book Julian Comstock was not going to turn you away from the book or AUDIO ver. of book.
It starts out REALLY interesting, cause it makes you think, what the fuk is this? This kid, Julian has the strange and dangerous hobby entering off limits dumpsites. Like a 600 yr old broken up places that had rare things once called, books.
He fines a book from NASA that proves humans way back in the past did have space travel. The book of photos (extremely illegal) is of one of the moon landings collecting rock samples.
He knows some of the histoty of the past, but just the basics. Most people have no idea of the past.
check out the book
Other SF books by Robert Charles Wilson are
ReplyDeleteThe Chronoliths (2001)
Spin (2005)

Imo, the AUDIO versions are very nice to listen to.
