Earlier this year, I wrote a short story for the Boise Weekly “Fiction 101” contest. I’d just read the Foundation trilogy—with its emphasize on societal action over the expanses of time—and listened to various episodes of the Half Arsed History (a very funny podcast, I might add). Enjoy!
Tied into this idea of our misperception of time is that of human fallibility. We have always been and will always be fallible. What interests me more and more is how we behave in between moments of fallible awareness. Will we think we’re right? That others are wrong? That certainty is a righteous pursuit, or a slippery sham?
Thanks for reading and watching :)
