Big Game

by Isaac Asimov
Jack Trent hears a half-drunken story of time travel and the real cause of the dinosaur extinction.

Asimov wrote this story in 1941, but it was lost until a fan found it in the Boston University archives in the early ’70s.

Jack looked at Hornby solemnly. “You invented a time machine, did you?”

“Long ago.” Hornby smiled amiably and filled his glass again. “Better than the ones those amateurs at Stanford rigged up. I’ve destroyed it, though. Lost interest.”

DEBUT
