Time [Cummings] 2
The Shadow Girl
In the year 7012 A.D., scientist Poul and his beautiful (shadowy) granddaughter Lea
construct a tall tower that can travel throughout time in the area that is presently
Central Park in New York City, but an evil mimic creates his own tower from which he
conducts time raids (most often involving Lea), and counter-raids ensue.
Lea is but one
of the prolific Cummings’s many girls! You can also have the Girl in the Golden Atom,
the Sea Girl, the Snow Girl, the Gadget Girl, the Thought Girl, the Girl from Infinite
Smallness, and the Onslaught of the Druid Girls.
No vision this! Reality! Empty space, two moments ago. Then a phantom, a moment ago. But
a real tower, now! Solid. As real, as existent—now—as these rocks, these trees!
