Maybe I’m in Hell. That’s okay, I’m not scared of Hell – it’s just Heaven for bad people.
There are two events in everybody’s life that nobody remembers. Two moments experienced by every living thing. Yet no one remembers anything about them. Nobody remembers being born and nobody remembers dying. Is that why we always stare into the eye sockets of a skull? Because we’re asking, “What was it like?” “Does it hurt?” “Are you still scared?”.

Maybe he’ll visit tomorrow,’ she had said, her hand tight on his. ‘Maybe tomorrow,’ he had smiled, closing his eyes. She could never decide, over the years, if those were the best or the saddest last words.
Time travel. One-man time travel, basically. Pop the strap on your wrist, and off you go. Top security rating of any item here – no one can know we have this, not even our allies.’ ‘Why not?’ ‘Are you serious? Americans with the ability to rewrite history? You’ve seen their news coverage.
