Still Life with Abyss
by Jim Grimsley
Teams of researchers from a nebulous future observe branching timelines in their past,
with a particular fascination for the one man who has never made a choice that forked off
a new line.
He’s a human freak as far as I’m concerned. Whatever I think of him, it doesn’t
affect my work.
“Still Life with Abyss” by Jim Grimsley, in Asimov’s Science Fiction, January/February 2017.
