The Doppler Effect

by Michael Canfield

Morgan had a job. Not a career, but a job that allowed him to live his slice of life, anyway. Sometimes he even got to hang onto a little bit of his memory, which might or might not be why he found the silent woman at the far end of the platform so intriguing, and the instinct to approach her so irresistible. A story about two simple people, in a future as complex and strange as today.


Includes bonus "The Van Winkle Attempt".
