We Were the Wonder Scouts
by Will Ludwigsen
As an old man, Harald recounts the days of 1928 when he was one of Mr. Fort’s original
Wonder Scouts, seeking out the true explanations for inexplicable phenomena in the woods
of upstate New York.
At worst, we’ll be absorbed into the super-consciousness, learning and seeing all
knowledge at once in a single stupendous flash. More likely, we’ll find a tunnel to an
underground civilization of pygmies or a portal through time.
“We Were the Wonder Scouts” by Will Ludwigsen, in Asimov’s Science Fiction, August 2011.
