Mr. Jonathan Chambers senses that something is very wrong. The walk he takes every night is suddenly, slightly shorter. All around him things are vanishing. Is it because of the recent war or famine in the world? Does the scandalous theory that cost him his job hold the key? Or is it just the slowly unhinging mind of a recluse?

What if suddenly, everybody in the world had access to a limited form of time travel? What if they could send an email to themselves exactly one month into the future or one month into the past? How would it change society? It would certainly cause trouble. This is a collection of three short stories. The first is about the average person's experience, once handed the ability to talk across time. If you've read the book The Puppy of Doom, you'll recognize the character Albert. The second story is about a petty crook. While in the third, the government has to come to grips with an unwelcome surprise.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! The Empire State Building has vanished into thin air! Gone, too, are Grant’s Tomb and Grand Central Station, and all hell is breaking loose in New York City! What’s the story? One grizzled old newspaper reporter known simply as Pop - a role made for Walter Matthau - is on top of it...and better stay there, because his livelihood is on the line. If Pop fails to get to the bottom of the vanishing landmarks, his job will disappear as well - and land in the hands of the newspaper publisher’s son-in-law.
