I've been seeing a few #shortstory posts lately and thought I'd contribute one of my favorite's. I'm a sucker for alternative creation myths. Any story that can get my mind to transcend the normal human boundaries of space and time is on my list but they're often not short enough to post anywhere.

I love alternate creation myths, too! I especially enjoy it when they aren't mutually exclusive. Any other favorites you care to share?

None as good as this. But for time-transcending stories I can't recommend The Time Machine and then The Time Ships (an authorized sequel) enough. As wonderful as The Time Machine is, The Time Ships is a beautiful continuation of the adventure.

Thanks! I read The Time Machine but not The Time Ships. Looking forward to it.
