Quantum History

A cutting-edge scientific experiment goes disastrously wrong in ways no one could have predicted, and its effects reach far beyond the laboratory where it began. Hundreds of miles away, a history professor and his wife find themselves caught in the strange consequences of the failed experiment. As scientists struggle to understand what happened, his wife watches in growing disbelief as reality begins to shift in bizarre - and often darkly humorous - ways.
What begins as a scientific breakthrough turns into a mystery involving identity, history, and the unpredictable reach of experimental science. As the couple searches for answers, they discover that the forces unleashed by the experiment may be far stranger than anyone imagined. Quantum History is a hard-science-fiction story blending humor with speculative science, exploring identity, unintended consequences, and the fragile boundaries of reality.
Author's Note:This story began as a writing challenge among three writer friends (at the time two of us were published authors) who each agreed one day just for fun, to write a story based on the same title. Three very different stories resulted - this is the only one that found its way into print.
