In the Cards

by Alan Cogan

Newlyweds Gerry and Marge are brought to the verge of divorce by a troublesome machine that shows the future without fail. That machine—the Grundy Projector—causes numerous problems in society, although (as we all know), viewing the future is not time travel. In this story, however, the solution to the Grundy problems does include a dose of real traveling.
It’s no different than reading a story and then having to relive the whole thing, anticipating each action and bit of dialogue.
