Time. We feel it march by, seeming to gain momentum with each passing

year. Some physicists argue that it might not actually exist. We have

only our recollections to depend on, and sometimes those can fool us,

becoming fogged, like overexposed film.

"The Time It Happened" from Third Flatiron Anthologies contains 15

short science fiction adventures and flash humor pieces that explore

world-altering events, both real and imagined, ranging from alien

invasion and space wars to fantastically unpredictable science

experiments. Seemingly minor crises, such as missing your morning cup

of coffee, or a network glitch, can ruin your whole day, but what

about forever? Historical events, like Lincoln's death, the Apollo 11

mission, or Sputnik, may not have happened quite like we remember. Yet

surely the most important memories, like love, are permanently etched

on the walls of time.
