Hall of Mirrors (1953)

Awesome. Something about the sentence structure... I can't read it without Rod Serling narrating it word for word in my head. [edit] ... I just realized it's that it's in second person present... and that's so rare in English prose, he's the only narrator I associate with it.

Does somebody have a link that's accessible from Germany?

  Why did this block occur?

  A Court in Germany ordered that access to certain items in the Project Gutenberg collection are blocked from Germany. Project Gutenberg believes the Court has no jurisdiction over the matter, but until the issue is resolved, it will comply.

If you need a fast free vpn for non sensitive usage, you can use cloudflare 1.1.1.1 app on Android and there is a desktop version I think.

Add this at the end for a slightly darker ending:

    You open the door. It has a calendar attached to the other side.
    The current year is 4154.

Funny place to revert to - not so far back that you lose the memory of your wife-to-be, but far enough back to lose the entirety of that life together.

Maybe preserving some of that memory, without preserving so much it becomes too devastating?

to be fair, every subsequent "revival" could go back (say) only 49 years, so that you keep that extra year of understanding the situation - assuming it works like that (that the new timeline is you new 'state' s.t. you can keep newly acquired knowledge).

You could further improve on the initiation process to reduce that time, and just have more frequent revisions.

So I wouldn't expect the guy would have to be returned to the same state every time repeatedly, as the tech is described.
