This Petty Pace
by Jason K. Chapman
Theoretical physicist Kyle Preston is getting garbled visitations from a hologramish
future descendant who carries dire warnings, which Kyle wishes did more for him and his
girlfriend Anna.
It’s like Schroedinger’s Subway Rider. He’s both here and twenty minutes away at
the same time and you don’t know which until he meets his girlfriend.
“This Petty Pace” by Jason K. Chapman, in Asimov’s Science Fiction, October/November 2011.
