A brief introduction to the J. Staute of this story [10-13-04]

NOTE: This portion of Jerry Staute's life was preceded by many of the events detailed in The Shadowfast supercar driver logs. To be more specific, the time-traveling epic below both begins and ends in a matter of mere weeks during 1972, within the period otherwise documented in Breaking up. For many years afterwards all Staute would recall of these events would be a frustratingly brief campus relationship with a girl of Asian descent, whom he subsequently never heard from again, after she was abruptly called back home overseas.

Prologue: Critical mass [10-13-04]

My heavily regimented 1990 life in Boston is suddenly turned upside down when I'm briefly abducted and released by some mighty strange folks. Something they did to me made me afterwards recall lots of all new events from my college life almost 20 years past. Events apparently encompassing many months of truly bizarre experiences, of which I'd not been aware since.

Chapter one: Something different [10-16-04]

Beware of hot college girls who are too easy to please.

Chapter two: Learning the ropes [10-26-04]

The seemingly magical environment of 500 plus years hence.

Chapter three: Drafted [11-2-04]

Being shanghaied by lost future tourists might be better than such abductions in past human history-- but it can still be scary and confusing for the victim.

Chapter four: Navigator [11-4-04]

Talk about crazy expectations...!

Meeting of the Minds is now available as a Kindle ebook!

Chapter one: Contact [11-10-04]

As if I didn't already have enough problems: I pick up a bizarre hitchhiker-- in my head!

Chapter two: The farthest reaches [11-19-04]

Humanity's far future seems to be lots different from that described in the science fiction books of my youth.

Chapter three: Baptism by fire [12-3-04]

Being a primitive throwback country hick amongst super-smart future folk isn't necessarily all bad.

Chapter four: Putting a genie back in his bottle [12-7-04]

Containing a super powered being can be tricky!

Chapter five: Inner space wars [12-9-04]

Somebody make it stop!

Chapter six: Sol mate [12-14-04]

One of my fondest dreams comes true-- sort of.

Chapter seven: Fractures [12-15-04]

Loving a real-life goddess can be a soul-searing experience.

Chapter eight: Not to be [4-14-05]

Mark this down as one of the worst moments of my life.

I finally get a chance to seize back control of my own destiny-- or do I? The mysterious alien entity now sharing my mind has its own agenda.

Probably the last thing these future folk expected of me was a real life Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde transformation...

Chapter three: Bright lights, hard vacuum [1-14-08]

Taking down an artificial intelligence from 2,483 AD can be quite a chore! Good thing I've got help!
