  • After

    "Just like me to never have any money when the end of the world comes," thought Martin Fahy as he walked through the bitter, ceaseless rain. He laughed slightly and wondered what he was going to do now. Sure, he had been the one who always knew The E...

  • Timenami

    Time - 1

    Martin sat in an old office chair. It didn't seem odd in the New Old West saloon. End o’ the world and all, he thought. He knew them the moment they walked in. The man and woman were dressed right, but out of place. “Evenin’” Martin said casu...

  • Why the Pig Stole Autumn

  • Nemesis

    Time - 2

    "Now, what are you guys doing here?" Martin asked. "Not that it isn't great to see you, but it usually means trouble and I already have that. Got a whole bunch of military types - Chloe probably told you - who want to get me killed soon as possible."...

  • Beyond the Wall of Time

    Time - 3

    Chloe felt it first. It was like a low-powered wave that lifted them slightly as it passed. There was a low whooshing noise, but brief. They all looked at each other. Martin noticed a familiar sound outside. He went to a large window, looked down at ...

  • Canyon Diablo

    It wasn't all that grim, she said. We don't have to go to Deadwood. I was thinking, maybe, Tombstone or Fort Sumner... Wyatt Earp or Billy the Kid? he said. Are you nuts? Yes, she said. Absolutely. I went nuts the moment I saw a flaming star in the d...

  • In the Mind of the King

    Be wary, ye whoÉ Sorry. Just wanted to warn you up front that some of these stories donÕt have conclusions. Most of them do, but some I just never could finish. Oh, yeah, and some of them are parts of series that are here published alone because I ...

  • Rendezvous With Destiny

  • Ice Time

    You've never been here before? Wanekia asked. No, Chloe said. Your father won't fly. He never even told me about this place until he was delirious after that wound. I'm glad he did. Do you think we'll make it? Wanekia asked, obviously scared. Do you ...

  • In the Time of the King

    Outside was crazy. The thick, coming storm weighed me down. It could come any minute: thunderous, hurricane rain, followed by all kinds of hell. I dashed across the lawn, into The Lab and up the stairs. The bookcase was locked. Most of our books ...

  • Finding Time

    It all began with the end of the world. Martin Fahy and friends made it out of the cities, past earthquakes, hurricanes, people with guns, to the Adirondacks where they hoped to sit out The Fall. The world became very dangerous. Some of them stepped ...

  • Phenomenal Stories, Vol. 1, No. 1

  • Green & Pleasant Land

    Martin knew what a Time jump felt like. It was fast, blip blip, that was it. This was different. It reminded him of the Time Blaster, an emergency, get-me-the-hell-out-of-here device. It had a rushing, mad, sped-up film look. Then he lost consciousne...

  • Dawn

    I really don't understand, Martin said. You Time jumped? I didn't think Time travel was possible. I mean, if it is, why aren't Time travelers from the future bouncing back here all the Time? From what I know, they are, Cindy said. Until some big even...



  • Lost

    When they appeared in the dark alley, they had a fuzziness in their heads. They all were dressed the same. Black boots, black pants, black shirts. Each shirt had an insignia and name on it. A quick look reminded them of each other's names, but they h...

  • Revolution

    At this point, now that I've met you, all I really want to do is build a home in the mountains far away from everybody where they can't find us, Martin Fahy said. Yes, that would be wonderful in a way, but the world's going to end, remember? Cindy Be...

  • Fear Itself

    It's gonna be fun, Martin said. You always say that, Jerry said. Almost always is. Almost never is, Jerry said. And where'd you get these uniforms? U.S. Special Forces, circa 2047? Had 'em made, Martin said. Unlikely anyone here's seen 'em. More like...
