A HISTORY OF THE 23RD CENTURY
It's never too early to tell. We could be
blackened eels by then, and - so what
anyway - everyone here will be dead
by then. So I can say whatever I want.
-
I'm pretty certain that, by then, someone
will finally have figured out how to make
time run backwards - for events of the
moment, I mean, not for things like people
aging or raising the dead. More like, for
instance, when a house burns down, having
the means to make the fire run backwards,
and undo itself, and all of its damages.
-
Now, what does this mean? It means, of
course, trouble. Fire and property insurance
people, for instance would hate this because
it cuts down their sales of policies. I'd figure.
Why waste money when you could just run
the fire backwards and re-raise the house?
And all those firemen, with the gamey and
boozefest conventions in dip-shit vacation
places. They'd of course get pissed, but that's
a 23rd-century problem, not one of now.
-
Many other things connect to this, of course.
What happens to 'people' who have died in
a fire? Do they not come back to live as it's
undone? Answer is NO. The human seam is
too big to be gapped by this stitch - but
just wait as see; you never really know.
(Nor will you).
