Timetipping

by Jack Dann

People, animals (or at least parts of them), and a reluctant wandering Jew are tossed back and forth through alternate realities at various times.
Nothing was for certain, anything could change (depending on your point of view), and almost anything could happen, especially to forgetful old men who often found themselves in the wrong century rather than on the wrong street.

“Timetipping” by Jack Dann, in Epoch, edited by Roger Elwood and Robert Silverberg (Berkley Putnam, November 1975).

Time Bride

by Gardner Dozois and Jack Dann

Shortly after turning eight, Marcy Meisner loses her childhood to an ever-present voice from the future who (so he assures Marcy’s parents) wants to marry Marcy when she grows up and has only Marcy’s best interests at heart.
Please let me explain, Mr. Meisner. I don’t want to marry Marcy now. I want to marry her in the future, ten years from now, when she’s eighteen. That is, I believe, an acceptable age.

“Time Bride” by Gardner Dozois and Jack Dann, in Asimov’s Science Fiction, December 1983.

The Starry Night

by Barry N. Malzberg and Jack Dann

A visage of the universe exploding bounces back and forth between a space-faring priest, an epileptic six-year-old in our day, and Vincent Van Gogh.
For the first time she is a little scared. She wishes that she were in her room, not in this space car with the stars glowing and exploding like the stars in Mr. Gogh’s painting.

“The Starry Night” by Barry N. Malzberg and Jack Dann, in Sci Fiction, 22 June 2005.
