Soldier from Tomorrow
by Harlan Ellison
Qarlo Clobregnny (aka pryt sizfifwunohtootoonyn), psychologically and physically
conditioned as a foot soldier from the moment of birth, is transported from the time of
Great War VII to a 1950s subway platform where he and his story eventually become a force
in an unexpected direction.
A few years later, the story was the basis of an Outer Limits episode.
No matter how violent, how involved, how pushbutton-ridden Wars became, it always
simmered down to the man on foot. It had to, for men fought men still.
“Soldier from Tomorrow” by Harlan Ellison, Fantastic Universe, October 1957.
