World Lines: From space-time to apocalypse
from Literary Titan Hosted by Literary Titan
In this fictional world, most inhabitants follow a straight path in time from birth to death, but there are outliers who have periodic or other deviant “world lines”, passing through their space-time point multiple times. The title derives from the different paths of existence by a diverse set of characters. One of the outliers for example, is a Scottish fisherman who is trying to weave his way in the normal world, bringing some sense to the madness created by both human and natural events surrounding him (abduction of a female pilot, military response, earthquakes, and breaches in the time-space continuum). This quirky adventure follows characters with straight, curved and periodic world lines to the mountain known as “point B”, a religious site being prepared for the installation of a neutrino mine. The central character, the Professor, tries to discover how the ancients devised means of immortality and postulates that they were able to discover the secret of altering their world lines along the time/space axes so they simply escaped death by appearing at a different spatial position at the same time or in a different era at the same position. Several themes are explored in this tale where the rational is logically deduced to nonsense, faith coexists happily with science, and the fairy tale universe exemplifies the very diffuse border that separates reality from fantasy. 📖 Available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4duXBZD
