Short Story

Timetipping

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

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.

Short Story

Time Bride

by Gardner Dozois and Jack Dann
in Asimov’s Science Fiction, December 1983

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.

The Starry Night

by Barry N. Malzberg and Jack Dann
in Sci Fiction, 22 June 2005

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.
