About the Author
About the Publisher
This book is for my friends who still find it a pleasure to read. Nothing can replace the pleasure of reading. These are thoughts and emotions that can't be communicated through movies but can only be communicated through books. Entertainment technology makes exponential leaps every decade. Some people even read the books from where these movies where taken. Who knows some of these stories will be made into movies one day?
The Boy from the Future
A young man was found within the Knox family’s front yard. He was on a prone position on the green grass. He wore a leather black jacket and was unconscious. Arnold Knox took his gun and called the police. Since, he was unconscious they carried him to a nearest hospital. When he woke up, he couldn’t remember anything, not even his name. So the police officer made a search for his identity. But there was no match, not even in any country in the world. There were similarities but a deeper inquiry would only say one thing. This person must have come from another planet. There was no match in the finger prints. He was confused and fidgety when he looked out of the window. There was a shock on his face. There was one thing utterly bizarre. It was when he asked what year it was. And when everybody replied, 2020
the more he was stunned, slowly sat on the floor and leaned on the wall.
He could forget a lot of things. He could forget his name. But he couldn’t forget what world he was familiar with, his surroundings, the kind of clothes people wore. The visual side of memory seemed to have engraved deeply into the core of his being. He remembered from what year he was, 2114. Now, it was the doctor, Arnold Knox and the nurses in the room who were shocked. But the doctor, like most intellectual people, just smirked and shook the dust off his sleeves. He was struggling from laughing. He settled himself like any professional person would and told the group that besides the intriguing futuristic delusion the young man was at the peak of health. The Knox family took him into their home for some seasons.
After a week, he told everyone that his name was Rey Remus. He came from the same state, Pennsylvania but from the future. He began to describe what the future was like. The buildings almost a hundred from 2020 are way different from the present. But he saw some present buildings that still survived in his time yet very old and worn out. The transportation was mostly midair. Even the bicycles fly. And cars on land were unhindered
