Ana Schrodinger

Ana Schrodinger

A. S. Patric


The globally renowned physicist and Cambridge Professor Dr. Shurgold develops his world famous theory that our planet is to all intents and purposes an immense bomb and reveals that everyone has access to the red button.

A few moments later the solar system is rocked by an explosion the likes of which hasn’t occurred since the catastrophic conflagration that created the vast orbiting field of planetary wreckage between Mars and Jupiter. The Asteroid Belt, however, is assumed to have been caused through natural means. It is suggested that perhaps two planets collided.

*

Debris from the newly exploded planet now drifts in an orbit between Mars and Venus. Strange things have survived the blast. Artefacts from the third planet’s civilisation include many anomalous items of interest.

One such object is a book, written by a young David Shurgold, just beginning his illustrious career at Cambridge. It is a tale of a different planet and a civilisation of curious cats, orbiting between Mars and Jupiter. A humorous story about a female tabby called Ana Schrodinger. She dreams one night of an intelligent monkey, who is busy building a box around her that will explode when she wakes up.

  1. This Flash is very fitting for the new look of your blog. Took me by surprise.

    I recall seeing, I think it was the first two paragraphs up here before, has the rest been added on or has it always been there and I just forgot it.

    Very humorous little story that. 'She dreams one night of an intelligent monkey, who is busy building a box around her that will explode when she wakes up' ... oh how fitting those words are to the world we live in today.
    I had a little chuckle.

  2. Yes, you're right Marc. Back at the end of July last year, when I started Ink, this was the second post I put up. Well, kind of--> the first part of it was all there was. And then recently, when Dot Dot Dash were asking for Sci-Fi this came up as one of the few things I had in that regard. So I took another look at it, edited those two paragraphs, and another two paragraphs popped up in the process.

  4. Thanks Ash. Needless to say, I didn't take the photo--> NASA original. And then it kind of made me want to redesign the whole blog. Glad you like it.
