Cons of Time Travel
by A. Rector
"Time-traveling's cheap and easy. It's space-traveling that ain't.
"See, our molten mudball pirouettes around a star orbiting a galaxy hurtling who cares where. Go a day back in time, you slide along a single temporal thread, not the three dimensions. So 24 hours ago, the planet's 30 million miles thataway, and you're here feelin' silly in yesterday as the vacuum o' space sucks on your eyeballs. Can't move umpteen times FTL? Then time-travel's useless... for its intended purpose. Lucky for you, I'm resourceful.
"So, if you'll hand Bludger here your payment, rest assured no one will ever find that body."
