Blinking Eyes Last (One Faceplant Short of Wisdom)

4/5 ( ratings)

The symptoms are always the same. Vivid dreams of dying when you sleep, the deja vu flicker when you're awake. When it infects your memory, you wake up with amnesia, which is mercifully temporary, but then you start to remember things that haven't happened.

It's called Quantum Stability Disorder or QSD for short, and if you got it, you were as good as dead.

Unless you were already insane. Like me. Instead of freaking out like everybody else, I laughed, and kept what I saw to myself. Insanity 101, being surrounded by guys in white shirts who are telling you that you will be okay, is not okay.

I think of QSD as my own personal transporter, absent a Star Trek guy in a red shirt to control where, when or what universe I will end up in. No worries, the vast majority of places are harmless, close and familiar. There are advantages, like not getting killed when I do something stupid, and disadvantages, like not being able to dance, catch a ball, or figure out what women are asking.

For decades the trips stayed true to form, small, inconsequential, and nobody was the wiser. And then I got on that plane. At least I got my childhood fantasy, not the trip to Venus I'd stupidly told everybody about, but better. Me, in the most alien environment imaginable. You just can't imagine a stranger place. But, there were problems. We wouldn't be having this conversation if there weren't right? I was marooned there, with a mental clock, ticking down to some unknown thing. Probably bad. And, according to the rules, there would be no return.
