Reality
!
That
was
the
word
he
must
not
mention
under
any
circumstances
.
He
felt
the
spinning
sensation
in
his
head
grow
stronger
and
he
closed
his
eyes
for
a
moment
to
stop
it
.
How
many
excellent
prospects
had
been
left
untouched
in
Time
because
their
removal
into
Eternity
would
have
meant
the
non
-
birth
of
children
,
the
non
-
death
of
women
and
men
,
non
-
marriage
,
non
-
happenings
,
non
-
circumstance
that
would
have
twisted
Reality
in
directions
the
Allwhen
Council
could
not
permit
.
Could
he
tell
her
any
of
this
?
Of
course
not
.
Could
he
tell
her
that
women
almost
never
qualified
for
Eternity
because
,
for
some
reason
he
did
not
understand
(
Computers
might
,
but
he
himself
certainly
did
not
)
,
their
abstraction
from
Time
was
from
ten
to
a
hundred
times
as
likely
to
distort
Reality
as
was
the
abstraction
of
a
man
.
(
All
the
thoughts
jumbled
together
in
his
head
,
lost
and
whirling
,
joined
to
one
another
in
a
free
association
that
produced
odd
,
almost
grotesque
,
but
not
entirely
unpleasant
,
results
.
Noys
was
closer
to
him
now
,
smiling
.
)
He
heard
her
voice
like
a
drifting
wind
.
"
Oh
,
you
Eternals
.
You
are
so
secretive
.
You
won
’
t
share
at
all
.
Make
me
an
Eternal
.
"
Her
voice
was
a
sound
now
that
didn
’
t
coalesce
into
separate
words
,
just
a
delicately
modulated
sound
that
insinuated
itself
into
his
mind
.
He
wanted
,
he
longed
to
tell
her
:
There
’
s
no
fun
in
Eternity
,
lady
.
We
work
!
We
work
to
plot
out
all
the
details
of
everywhen
from
the
beginning
of
Eternity
to
where
Earth
is
empty
,
and
we
try
to
plot
out
all
the
infinite
possibilities
of
all
the
might
-
have
-
beens
and
pick
out
a
might
-
have
-
been
that
is
better
than
what
is
and
decide
where
in
Time
we
can
make
a
tiny
little
change
to
twist
the
is
to
the
might
-
be
and
we
have
a
new
is
and
look
for
a
new
might
-
be
,
forever
,
and
forever
,
and
that
is
how
it
has
been
since
Vikkor
Mallansohn
discovered
the
Temporal
Field
in
the
24th
,
way
back
in
the
Primitive
24th
and
then
it
was
possible
to
start
Eternity
in
the
27th
,
the
mysterious
Mallansohn
whom
no
man
knows
and
who
started
Eternity
,
really
,
and
the
new
might
-
be
,
forever
and
forever
and
forever
and
.
.
.
He
shook
his
head
,
but
the
whirligig
of
thought
went
on
and
on
in
stranger
and
more
jagged
breaks
and
leaps
until
it
jumped
into
a
sudden
flash
of
illumination
that
persisted
for
a
brilliant
second
,
then
died
.
That
moment
steadied
him
.
He
grasped
for
it
,
but
it
was
gone
.
The
peppermint
drink
?
