This week's homepage update:
-DARC AGES
-THE ARGUS PROJECT
-THE TIME IDIOT.
In the latest sample chapter of my unpublished novel THE TIME IDIOT, the protagonist Prescott Walker encounters Albert Einstein in an alternate version of the 1940s.
Einstein is still a genius, and Prescott is still an idiot:
----------
"Are you serious?" asked Einstein, studying Prescott from head to toe. "You traveled in time to get here?"
Prescott nodded vigorously and showed Einstein the wooden box-camera. "I have photos here..." He couldn't find a lid to open the box and get the film roll out. "How do you get the pictures out of this thing?"
Einstein shook his head and said: "I remember that Kodak model from when I was young. You have to deliver it to a photo shop..."
"There's PhotoShop? Here? Are you sure?"
The misunderstanding was ignored. "Can you show me some technology from the future to prove your identity?"
He showed them the cell phone and let it play a few musical tunes, and the game Strip Poker. Einstein’s heavy-lidded eyes widened. "Mein Gott, he is telling the truth! Let me talk to him in private!"
