Nightfall: A Shortwave Goodbye
Nov. 19th, 2012 03:01 pmA Shortwave Goodbye
A radio enthusiast finds himself in possession of a radio that can receive broadcasts from the future. As one does, he uses this to enrich himself. Unfortunately for him, his unfaithful wife and her lover have plans to get the protagonist's money for themselves and although he has knowledge of the future on his side, he also knows one of the reports he heard was of his own death.
This was an amusing enough little game of cat and mouse, with the murderous lovers trying to knock off the protagonist through traps they set themselves and the protagonist doing much the same, using his foreknowledge of newsworthy catastrophes to try to rid himself of his wife and her lover.

An ailing book company seeks salvation in an evil book of evil written by a once-famous author of the near-forgotten 1960s. Although when this was written, the 1960s were actually only a decade or so ago, well within living memory. In any case, the book launch doesn't go as well as it could.
