Timeless Bore

by Peter Wood
A none-too-wealthy time traveler insists on passing the time of day in Mac’s two-pump filling station in Perdue, North Carolina.
As the man from the future droned on and on, Mac immersed himself in the paper. He grunted every so often to feign interest.
“Timeless Bore” by Peter Wood, in Stupefying Stories Showcase, 26 July 2013.

Drink in a Small Town

by Peter Wood
A down-on-his-luck physicist who’s invented a faster-than-light drive stops to watch the first manned Mars landing in a small-town Georgia diner. This is one of the few stories I’ve seen that ties together FTL with time travel.
And you’ll discover something else when you’re tinkering with that drive.
“Drink in a Small Town” by Peter Wood, in Asimov’s Science Fiction, March 2014.

Searching for Commander Parsec

by Peter Wood
Young Brian, who lives with his mother and idolizes his deadbeat father, listens to a long-gone, space opera radio show that’s still being picked up on his boombox—but it’s more than the radio signals that are time traveling!
This Commander Parsec show is pretty ridiculous. The commander is always rescuing bimbos and defeating the bad guys all over the Galaxy.
“Searching for Commander Parsec” by Peter Wood, in Asimov’s Science Fiction, September 2015.

Academic Circles

by Peter Wood
Kate Warner, assistant professor of English, doesn’t see how that dimwitted Marzano could have submitted her paper on The Man in the High Castle to The Hoboken Literary Journal 18 months before she even started writing it.

Wood creates some likeable characters, but there is no consistency in his model of time travel.

You have a time machine and you’re not doing anything important or helping anyone. All you’re doing messing with me.
