Real Time

by Lawrence Watt-Evans
An unnamed time-travel guard is trapped in the 20th century and must keep ever vigilant against those who might tamper with the time line because you never know whether the time guard will be able to handle it all.
They might send someone else, but they might not. The tampering might have already changed things too much.
“Real Time” by Lawrence Watt-Evans, in Asimovs’s Science Fiction, January 1989.

Remembrance of Things to Come

by Lawrence Watt-Evans
As a first experiment in a new technology, the memories of English Professor Richard Williams are sent back in time into the mind of writer Dorrie Ledbetter right before her untimely death to see if those memories can cause her to leave a clue about the meaning of an ambiguous story.
We think we have a way to record the quantum state of a present-day brain onto a brain somewhere in the past in such a way that the patterns in the receiving brain will duplicate those in the source brain, and that as a result the receiving brain will acquire the memories of the source brain.
“Remembrance of Things to Come” by Lawrence Watt-Evans, in Analog, April 1999.
