Spots

Time and space share a single blended dimension

Rogers and his son Loto explain to a skeptical club audience that duration is as real a physical property as length, width, or depth. Their early laboratory accident with a Crookes tube revealed a window into New York twenty-eight thousand years ahead. Across a frozen future landscape, Loto glimpsed a young captive girl facing constant peril. Driven by scientific conviction and romantic duty, Loto prepares to navigate centuries just as easily as land.

CHAPTER ONE → CHAPTER THREE

Human civilization peaks and collapses across millennia

Accelerating forward through time in his motorized time-cabin, Loto watches New York crumble into forgotten ruins as forest and ice swallow the land. Reaching forty-six thousand years ahead, he finds a frozen wilderness before backtracking to locate the snow-bound outpost of his vision. Upon witnessing a brute strike the captive girl, he lands his plane in a secluded ravine along the frozen river. Armed with a Collinger handgun, he trudges through a blinding blizzard to execute a midnight rescue.

CHAPTER FOUR → CHAPTER SIX

Geological shifts replace familiar geography with unexpected worlds

Tracking Loto’s temporal path, Rogers and George pilot their craft to the year twenty-eight thousand two hundred, where cataclysms have reshaped North America into a tropical sanctuary called Anglese. Guided by a vertical beacon of blue-white light, they land on a moonlit beach and reunite with Loto. The island thrives under warm equatorial skies, yet political decay looms as the renegade scientist Toroh rallies barbarian hordes against the island's divided society. Dressed in local garments, the travelers prepare to join the struggle.

CHAPTER SEVEN → CHAPTER NINE

Empathy and social justice preserve society against rebellion

After Toroh abducts Azeela on giant riding dogs, George and Dee retrieve electronic weapons and mount massive hounds to pursue the villain. Toroh plots to steal a time-ship to import ancient weapons, while back in Anglese City an angry mob of working-class Bas threatens the palace. The scientist Fahn avoids bloodshed by broadcasting radio pledges that guarantee freedom and equal rights to Bas children. This bold reform unites the populace just as external invasion approaches.

CHAPTER TEN → CHAPTER TWELVE

Technological innovation empowers aerial mastery over brute force

Azeela escapes Toroh’s time-ship by leaping onto a rocky ledge, where George and Dee recover her before returning to Anglese City. To counter Toroh’s barbarian army, Fahn outfits defenders with repulsive antigravity suits and air-density propulsion cylinders. Flying squads, including highly agile units of young women led by Azeela and Dee, master swift mid-air maneuvers. Meanwhile, Fahn deploys a floating radio-controlled lens to spy on enemy positions despite fierce resistance.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN → CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Journeys across time reshape human perspective and affection

Following the cataclysmic sinking of the western island and Toroh’s defeat, the travelers bring Azeela and Dee back to nineteen-twenties Manhattan. The sisters adapt to urban life, exchanging future warfare for mahogany pianos, high-cut gowns, and city lights. George and Dee confess their mutual love beside a window overlooking Park Avenue, while Loto vows lifelong devotion to Azeela. Navigating the depths of time ultimately strips away provincial pride and deepens human connection.
