Andre Manus sat in the dark basement of his gothic-style mansion at the desk where he'd spent the last 3 years working, sweating and making history. He'd made an evolutionary leap in computing, discovering a way to process information instantaneously no matter how large or complex through alternate space-time. By all rights Andre should be proud. The world was his. He owned the keys to it all. Offers had poured in and virtually overnight he was mega-rich. Yet it was all overshadowed by one stupid mistake that had cost him everything. His daughter, Allie had just been killed in an auto accident. His wife, Krissy had collapsed with grief and kicked him out of her life. His Board of Directors was going to bar him from his own company and file charges with the FBI. There was only one thing he could do with his life. End it. His 9mm pistol had one bullet in the chamber. He held it to his head, his finger squeezing the trigger. But he couldn't do it. He was too much of a coward. Too bad he couldn't program his computer to pull the trigger. Or could he? Computers were his thing. It would be poetic justice if his computer were his weapon of choice. And he'd just developed a method where he could do it. Enjoy this 22,000 word near future time travel novella. "Don't Be Stupid!
