Read OnlineProfessor Graham Higgins unearths a fantastic story of a storyteller who joined a travelling show and told tales of metal ships and "horseless carriages which move with the speed of the wind". He also claimed to be from the United States of America, a century before that name was even used. Will the professor track down the truth and is he ready for what it might mean for him?Have you ever gone out to dinner with friends, expecting to enjoy a lovely meal, with poignant conversation...and instead have met with back-biting, in-fighting, and casual betrayals--all of it unspoken, sent to you by text?Or, rather, sub-text?The following conversation is a testament to just such a situation, where the table-talk above is merely a facade, and while what's really going on is candidly spelled out--in cool and cruel detail.Sub-texting is approximately 400 words.
