A Space in Time
Wade Langerhans, a robotics scientist in the not-too-distant future was running out of time...or was he? Pursued by the Global Forces Regimen, he had only one choice and that was to escape the chaos he'd created. But would he make the jump in time?

Thanks RbG, I've got the backstory written and am working on the ending. Probably be about eight thousand words when completed

Different from some of your other stuff...but I like the approach you took toward the genre. And it's great to see that your knack for descriptions isn't lost when you switch to a different genre :)

Okay, first...Langerhans? You crack me up! Reminds me of a quote from an old Firesign Theater album, "...and the far-flung Isles of Langerhans...").

Anyway, well done, as usual! Loved the ending, and the always-worrisome conundrum of the time paradox. Good tech-talk info, too. I like this a lot! 'D

I enjoyed this Glen. I was a bit confused at first, but you brought it around for me. Like S.P. I would have loved the use of some other type of device, but I enjoyed it.

I hate that everyone is hung up on the grenade issue. I guess being limited to a thousand words is a bit confining. Let's just say If I had more, I could go into more details on the two previous days and how the ordnance was acquired from the G.F. (oops, I gave a hint) Who... mehr anzeigen

It's good, only I'm a confused about what happened at the very end, and if it needs to be a grenade, an unlikely weapon for a scientist to have on hand.

Also, I notice your word-count seems to be 19 over, if it's for the upcoming contest.

oh you'd be surprised who has high-yield ordnance in the future, Stephen...besides, I wouldn't want the Global Forces to use my machine to chase after me.

The new BookRix title thing kicked my word count over...I'll have to play with that.

S.P. Johnson Jr.

Oh, that's really obvious now. I shouldn't be reading until I'm a few mugs of coffee into my day.
Hopefully the contest moderators will forgive BookRix formatting.

An intriguing read, Glen...You probably have an idea I will say it reminds me of something(it is bothering me now, and yes it is something by P.K.Dick...); but I think A 'Space in Time' is a fine read Glen...
