Cedric. A brilliant scientist. Five doctorates, and one accomplishment too many.

A field of tall, yellow wild grass. Even cleaner air than Cedric remembers from the Swiss Alps. Giant trees, each wider than his house. Cedric, not sure where he finds himself.

The scream of a pterosaur. Cedric, not sure when he finds himself. The pterosaur dives at him.

“Paradox. Lost.” – a wild ride of a science fiction short story, with a take on time travel that you won’t stop thinking about. From Stefon Mears, author of Stealing from Pirates and Fade to Gold.
