Tyme (our man from AD 2232) visits editor-in-chief B. Lue Pencill of Future Fiction, who responds to Tyme’s outlandish claims by having him thrown into an asylum. Not to worry, though: Tyme shall have the last word in the following year’s sequel, [Error: Missing ']]' tag for wikilink]
So it was with such thoughts that Pencill turned to the first page. “The End of Time by Hamil Edmondton,” he read aloud, as was his habit when alone. With but a causual interest he began the story; but as the clock ticked and he read on, this interest became more than a casual one, and soon he was reading carefully, keenly, and with much enjoyment. On and on he read, and inexorable Fate slowly marshalled her forces in favor of the heroes case into time, and Pencill became aware that soon the story must end. End it did, in a very logical and pleasing way, and Pencill reluctantly placed the manuscript on his desk.
