Ep. 218: Three poems from Worth 1k — Volume 2

These three poems are about the effect unrequited love, the effect which deep longing, can have on my ability to express myself, to be creative, to even write effectively about what it feels like to be in that place of longing. They’re about the effects even a brief telephone conversation from the object of one’s affection can have on one’s mental state, though not necessarily fixing things, it changes one’s frame of mind and feelings for a while.

Ep. 217: Two poems from Worth 1k — Volume 2

A poem about one kind of frustration, borne of other people failing to do what they promise, followed by a poem about my own -often impossible- promises and goals I set for myself.

Ep. 216: Buying Time (a short story)

This story gives merely a glimpse of two young people who fall in love at first sight, and of the time-bending company they both work for: Chronomatics. Learn about Chronomatics’ unique services, all of which make use of a form of time dilation to either seem to add more hours to your day (relative to the world at large) or allow you to skip over whole decades of time as though only a single night’s sleep had passed. Learn about the challenges, one after another after another, which spring up to test the strength of their love as though to see whether it can be lost as easily and quickly as it was found. Your conceptions of love and your understanding of time may be challenged by Buying Time.

Ep. 214: Iteration, Interruption (a short story) part 2/2

This story is about the inventor of a revolutionary new technology embodied in a device which allows stable wormholes to be created in spacetime, linking any two of them together. Such a device would allow humanity to travel to space for next to no cost, and herald a new age of expansion into the Solar system. It could allow humanity to contact an alien race and attempt a peaceful relationship. But first, before the technology is ever tested, it gets used by a future version of the inventor to create a wormhole backward in time, intending to alter history and prevent a terrible future from ever occurring.
 
In part 1, Robert Weyth’s future self comes back in time and, while others from the future begin to carry out their plan to save Earth, explains to himself the history of the future he’s trying to prevent.
