Okay gang, here is the start of my time travel story. I want to finish my gender bender before I continue this, but it's started. Wink

Parts of this story are a real downer. Cry It will keep you on the edge of your seat. Shocked

Apocalyptic stories usually are downers.  There's really no way around it when you're talking end of the world.  But if they're done well, they always end on a high note.  (Along the same lines, did you ever see the Book of Eli?  Totally rocking post-apocalyptic movie!  I recommend it.)

Looking promising. Of course, Earth doesn't need the aliens to commit suicide. :Smiley

That was my thoughts! This story, is a follow on to Distant Memories, my UFO/Bonanza crossover from last year. In the epiloge, a clue is given as to how this all came about. Tin star generals with delusions of grandeur. Shocked Wink

I remember that hint!  Stupid fools!  There's always some idiot who thinks they should be in charge.  Dumb.  Totally dumb.  Tongue

(Not your idea, Matt!  Just that type of thinking.)  Wink

It's a comom theme in sci-fi. Technology out-distancing wisdom. Like it did in The Terminator, or the Destiny Project in The Core, or the man-made virus in The Amdromeda Strain.

It's sad, but true, that there are those who would covet such technologies for thier own ends, with no regard to the concequences. Time travel, if it did exsist, could be perverted into a dreadful weapon. Shocked

That is so true.  I call for witness The End of Eternity by Asimov, where time travel was used to serve the ends of the few to the detriment of the whole.

I made a few changes to the prologue, hopefully adding more depth to the piece. It seemed a bit flat before. :Smiley
