Dorothy And The Quantum Mechanic

By Dennis Wammack

“Dorothy and The Quantum Mechanic” is a 3000 word science fiction short story. It is actually two separate stories, read concurrently. One story proposes pop-scientific theories and the second relates how these theories would affect real life. "The Quantum Mechanic" contains an objective, quantifiable definition of “time"; most assuredly an incorrect definition, but still ....

The story was written for the occasion of my mother-in-law's ninetieth birthday. She had recently lost her beloved companion dog, Fritzi. The first story is about my mother-in-law dying and was written to cheer her up. “I understood some of it” and “Children love repetition” were her two comments. Faint praise indeed, but still ...

“The Quantum Mechanic” is the result of my lifetime of seeking to make sense of the universe. “Dorothy” is my suggestion of where this sense leads. Bad science and ridiculous, these stories are as close as I can come to understanding what it's all about.

And, for all I know, the stories may be true.
