For he had sketched to Jimmy, and Jimmy had accepted (hadn't he?) the possibility of the _other now_--but with that acceptance came still others. In one, Jane was dead. In one, Jimmy was dead. It was between these two that the barrier had grown so thin.... If he could talk to Jimmy about it! There was also a now in which _both_ had died, and another in which _neither_ had died! And if it was togetherness that each wanted so desperately ... _which was it_? These were things that Haynes would have liked very much to know, but he kept his mouth shut, or calm men in white coats would have come and taken him away for treatment. As they would have taken Jimmy. The only thing really sure was that it was all impossible. But to someone who liked Jimmy and Jane--and doubtless to Jimmy and to Jane themselves--no matter which barrier had been broken, it was a rather satisfying impossibility. Haynes' car had been repaired. He could easily have driven out to the cemetery. For some reason, he never did. End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Other Now, by Murray Leinster
