Lincoln’s Dreams
- by Connie Willis
- (Bantam Spectra, May 1987)
Civil War researcher Jeff Johnson feels a pull to protect Annie the moment he sees her, even before she tells him about her dreams of the war. So are the dreams really coming from Robert E. Lee’s unsettled ghost? Or is it the cocktail of drugs her psychiatrist dosed her with? In any case, there’s no indication that the dreams are time travel, so we’ll mark the story as having possible time phenomena without time travel. —Michael Main
Did he also tell you he thinks I’m crazy for spending my life looking up obscure facts that don’t matter to anybody?

Doomsday Book
- by Connie Willis
- (Bantam Spectra, July 1992)
We may never know just how young Kivrin Engle wrangled her academic advisor and the powers-that-be at the University of Oxford into sending her to previously off-limits, 14th-century England, but her timing was not ideal given that she’dd just been exposed to a recently re-emerged influenza virus. Oh, and the inexperience tech who also got hit with the virus with the virus after the drop may have sent Kivrin to the wrong year. —Ruthie Mariner
You know what he said when I told him he should run at least one unmanned? He said, “If something unfortunate does happen, we can go back in time and pull Miss Engle out before it happens, can’t we?” The man has no notion of how the net works, no notion of the paradoxes, no notion that Kivrin is there, and what happens to her is real and irrevocable.
