"The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion." - Albert Einstein Outlaw quantum physicist Johnny Twain believes he can see a stark future - a post-war world where humans are extinct. He must fight his own war - against his government, against his conscious, and against reality... Brian Nyx savored the moment, sitting down next to his patient - prisoner! - a pestering voice somewhere in his mind chirped. He settled into the light brown, soft leather chair with uninterrupted time to actually relax, read, and begin to learn the many whats, whys, and reasons for the thousands of carefully tangled circuits he had personally tucked into the reaches of Johnny Twain's skull. He mentally listed and itemized the basic questions he wanted to answer. Who was Johnny Twain? What had he done? Who had he pissed off to make the united states government so determined to crack apart his mind? Why had he been personally assigned to peel away every layer of Johnny Twain's ego and soul? When he was done, Twain would likely be ruined. He would live trapped inside a mind that could not be trusted. In some future time, weeks or months away, Johnny Twain's eyes would probably have the soft, uneven blink of insanity. "Quantumnition is mind-bending!" - The New York Messenger
