I mean " "He just didn't wake up. He was a very old man." Old? No. It couldn't be. I wouldn't accept it. Uncle Jim was immortal.

Pop! * * * This time the shock wasn't so bad, I There was somebody in the room. Then he turned to face me. For a moment it was like staring into a sudden mirror "Hi," he said. "I've been waiting for you." It was me. I must have been staring, because he said, "Relax, Dan " and I jumped again. The sound of his voice it was my voice as I've heard it on tape. The look in his eyes I've seen those eyes in the mirror. His face it was my face the features, everything: the nose, short and straight; the hair, dark brown with a hint of red and with the wave that I can't comb out; the mouth, wide and smiling; the cheekbones, high and pronounced.

a million and a half dollars on an eight-horse parlay." I winced. I thought of the newspapers under my seat. "There are better ways to make a million and a half dollars," I said. "Quieter ways. More discreet." He didn't answer. I waited till Big John crossed the finish line and paid off at three to one. I scooped up my newspapers and stood. "Come on," I said. "You go get the money. I'll wait for you at the car." I think he wanted me to go with him, but I had to be alone for a while. I had a lot to think about and I was

"Because it's not right " "Is it any worse than masturbation? You masturbated yesterday, Danny, I know. Because I did too. You were alone in the house, but you're never alone from yourself." "I I but masturbation isn't I mean, that's " "Danny " He silenced me with a finger across my lips. "I want to give you pleasure, I want to give you me, You have your arms around me. You have your hands on me. You like what you feel, I know you do." And he was right. I did like it. I did enjoy it. He was so sure of himself.

But possible. As far as the home timeline is concerned, all those people using timebelts have simply disappeared. As far as each subjective traveler knows, he's rewriting all of time. It makes no difference either way; the number of alternate universes is infinite. The more I think about it, the more likely that latter possibility seems. Consider it's the far future. You've almost got utopia the only thing that keeps every man from realizing all of his dreams is the overpopulation of the planet Earth. So you start selling timebelts you give them away pretty soon every man is a king and the home world is depopulated to a comfortable level. The only responsibility you need to worry about is policing yourself, not letting schizoid versions of yourself run around your timeline. (Oh, you could, I suppose, but could you sleep nights knowing there was a madman running loose who wanted to kill you?) The reason is obvious you want to keep your own timelines stable, don't you? Is that where it started?

Случайный абзац

Nor will there be any hindknowledge. The terrible thing about death is that you don't know you've died. Or is that the terrible thing? Maybe that's the blessing. It's the jump-shock that will kill me. I know that. I will tap my belt twice and I will cease to exist. Cease to exist. Cease to exist. The words echo in my head.
