Synopsis
Hugo, Sidewise and Sturgeon Award nominated novelette.
Imagine you're a little boy, living a life straight out of "Leave It to Beaver," back in October 1962. That would be a good description of a boy named Alan Burke, usually called Burke the Jerk by his friends. Alan likes to play in the woods and hang out with those friends, drink Cokes at the drugstore and read paperback fantasy novels. Sometimes young Alan wonders what life will be like, when he grows up, wonders if he'll manage to become a paleontologist, or whether he'll grow up like most men in early 1960s America, grow up to sell cars, or maybe life insurance. But it's October 1962, and in Alan Burke's version of that familiar old world, things are about to go horribly wrong.
It originally appeared in Asimov's Science Fiction, May 1996.
