Arctic Rings: Short Stories

By Richard H. Greenway

Jeff Matherson is a recent college graduate that's had an idea about the earth's magnetic fields, near the North Pole, for so long, he couldn't wait to turn his dream into reality anymore. His funding secured, he conducts his experiments one tedious try at a time. When a result finally surfaces, he attempts to expand on it and finds the new test method throws him somewhere else.

Richard H. Greenway

Richard is a first time published author that has had a dream, as many have had, to be a published author since his youth. All his work was written in his youth and not released until now, because he finally realized that a dream will always be a dream until it is made to be real by taking a chance. So he's released this creative work to be bold, and hopes others enjoy reading the work as much he has had creating it.

MATHERSON LAB

Ten miles southwest of the North Pole

January 3, 2000

Small funnels of loose snow swirled around Jeff's feet as he walked the path of orange fluorescent rods leading from the living quarters to the laboratory. The arctic chill wasn't as intense to him on this morning as it had been in the past week, because his attention was focused on the theories he'd thought about well into the night and he wasn't going to let something like a little chill cloud his memory. Well, at least not until he finished tying the two plausible ideas, he had finally settled on, into his specially modified personal lab computer. A piece of electronic machinery that he'd taken part in designing to ensure it would have the computing power necessary to cover all the calculations his experiments would require.

A Master of Science graduate from MIT in 'Electromagnetic Interaction' and 'Quantum Physics', Jeff Matherson tried, for three months, to muster up the financial support that was needed to conduct experiments on an idea he'd had since the first year of college. It was finally his father's banker friend, who was also a graduate of MIT, that took the risk for a friend, as well as a fraternity brother, and provided the money he needed.

That was over a year ago, and since him and his Russian friend/assistant, Penza, had come to the North Pole to attempt their antigravity experiments. Their tests hadn't done anything but take up time and money, and returned only frustration and despair.

It was Jeff's idea to bring three mobile buildings and conduct the experiments near the North Pole, because he believed the earth's axis point would produce better results with the dual magnetic field they were attempting to generate. However, his theory hadn't produced the results he'd envisioned. Although today, with his new ideas, he was hoping to change that with his new thought direction.

He didn't find it necessary to wake Penza and bring him up to date on the new ideas he had settled on last night, even though
