Time To Time: A Collection Of TIme Travel Stories

By Rik Hunik

Two Timing: (2070 words) A short story about what happens to a scientist when a payload from an unknown source is sent to his teleporter receiver. A slightly different version of this story appeared in Perihelion Science Fiction, Feb. 12, 2013

Double Time: (2690 words) A short story about what happens to a scientist when his prototype teleporter receiver receives something, despite the fact that the only transmitter is shut off. A slightly different version of this story appeared in Perihelion Science Fiction, Aug. 12, 2013.

Good-bye Grandpa (1600 words) A short story that turns the Grandpa paradox on its head.

The Emperor Germanicus: (9600 words). Germanicus was groomed to be emperor but he died young. Far in the future, Marcus Geni, like many others, believed Germanicus could have and should have become emperor. He believed it so strongly he stole a time machine and made it happen. Sort of. He inserted himself into Germanicus's timeline and made himself emperor, which wasn't quite the same thing.

Friday: (3600 words) Too much deja vu for Valentine Biggs, who keeps reliving the same Friday over and over again, doing things he normally wouldn't do.
