Simultaneous Time


By Jean-Paul L. Garnier




Closing my eyes on a bed I follow a thought. A simple thought of how nice it would be to picnic in France. Time splits into a picnic in France, more than twenty years earlier. Nothing is changed, my consciousness is just split. Now and then occur simultaneously. Too much for one mind to take in. The present is enough as it is. Seeing this, time collapses into one framework. Unlimited access to any moment has no other outcome than to utterly destroy that which can occur in the present moment. Probability is no place for a man to dwell.

THE END
