Near Future Stories

Marvin Purdoch is having a bad day - saving humanity!

A Darker England Story (1)
Just what would it take to push a tolerant nation over the edge into into a state of intolerance, bigotry and hate. This is my take on what happens when darkness falls.

After America is destroyed by wildfire and disease, a man named Kalen holds up inside a bunker. It's been months since he'd heard any sign of life, but a broadcast he heard could change everything.

A theoretical physicist and a programmer-turned-writer debate the nature of time. Through an imaginative conversation, the physicist explains to his friend that time does not flow, but is an illusion. Fascinated by the idea that the future already exists but he cannot remember it, the writer decides to capture this revelation in a story… although, in some “now” of the universe, he may have already written it.

The plot’s not entirely original, it's based on an old David Drake story, "Rescue Mission," but I hope you enjoy the story all the same. And yep, sorry guys, no sex at all in this one. It’s dystopian military Sci-Fi.
