He knew his wife was dead, because he'd seen her buried. But it was only one possibility out of infinitely many!... The Other Now, written by Murray Leinster, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.
Murray Leinster was a pen name for William Fitzgerald Jenkins a man who wrote a lot of science fiction, although he wrote more than sci-fi. He wrote and published more than 1,500 short stories and articles, 14 movie scripts, and hundreds of radio scripts and television plays.
Today’s story is the first of what will be many short sci-fi stories we will narrate written by Murray Leinster. Born in June 1896, Leinster was a high school dropout, and his first story was published when he was only 19. Although Leinster's first science fiction story, "The Runaway Skyscraper" is longer than any we’ve narrated so far at nearly 2 hours, it’s on our list of future Leinster stories we will narrate.
Our story begins on page 53 of Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine in March 1951. The Other Now by Murray Leinster.
Next week on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast… Adam Slade was a man who had nothing to lose by making a break for it. The trouble was, he knew that no one had ever escaped from the—Prison Of A Billion Years. That’s next week on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.
