Dear Tomorrow
by Simon Clark
Among the myriad of sad stories of people who desperately wish to turn back the
clock—John Salvin who loses his wife and child in a vanished plane, Kamana Banerjee who
loses her husband to a random bullet—a reality TV program, Impossible, Isn’t
It?, plans to archive the most heart-wrenching of the stories for future time
travelers who may respond to those pleas by coming back to appear on the program and
providing solace.
What’s more, it’s my personal belief that time machines will be invented one day;
that’s why I’m inviting time-travelling viewers from the distant future to visit us
at our rendezvous point on Mount Snowden in North Wales, on the tenth of July—
“Dear Tomorrow” by Simon Clark, in The Mammoth Book of
Time Travel SF, edited by Mike Ashley (Robinson, July 2013).
