The Time-Traveler


Mathematics professor John D. Smith rues the day he saved his college room-mate from drowning only to have the ungrateful cad thwart his every career move for the next decade. Oh, if only Smith could redo that fateful day!

Fun note: Under the pen name Ralph Milne Farley, Massachusetts state senator Roger Sherman Hoar carried out explorations of all the early time travel paradoxes, most of which are available in his Omnibus of Time. —Michael Main
If I could go back into the past, there is one event which I should most certainly change: my rescue of Paul Arkwright!

The Silver Highway


Most likely, Lucy from 1905 is an ordinary ghost rather than a time traveling ghost, but she is confused by the forty years since her death in a brand new Pope-Hartford runabout, so who really knows? So, we’re calling it Debatable Time Travel™. —Michael Main
She was dressed in a long linen duster and a linen hat, bound round with an emerald veil tied in a bow under her chin. Modish clothing for motoring—in 1905.
