Of Time and Cats
by Howard Fast
In a panic, Professor Bob Bottman calls his wife from the Waldorf where he’s hiding out
from dozens of other Bob Bottmans (and possibly just as many of Professor Dunbar’s
cats).
They want to live as much as I do. I am the first me, and therefore the real me; but they
are also me—different moments of consciousness in me—but they are me.
