Back in the Real World

Mitch Raleigh’s eyes sprang open and he sat up from his dentist’s chair with a lurch.

Then he vomited.

A Time Tours technician helped him stand. ‘Welcome back, Mr. Raleigh. You’re a goddamn hero.’

Indeed he was. The drama of Time Tours’s launch, and Mitch’s role in saving the President’s niece, featured in news bulletins around the world. His delighted publisher could not have asked for more publicity.

Humbert Hughes would end up in a psychiatric facility.

Time Tours would go back into research and development.

Mitch ended up watching the news broadcasts with Laura and her family in Dallas. There he saw himself on the TV being asked: ‘So, Mr. Raleigh! Mr. Raleigh! Will you be taking another trip on Time Tours again?’

‘Not for a while,’ he’d replied.

As it happened, Mitch would indeed return to Time Tours—several times, in fact—to meet up with his new friend, Pi, the man who had thrown himself in front of a bullet for Mitch.

Of course, by then Pi had been fully regenerated in the computer world of Time Tours. He had even had Mitch’s latest book installed in his programming so they could discuss it.
