As I mentioned in the comments accompanying Poems from a Notebook [#328], under the Many Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, there were a near-infinite number of ways in which that story could have been told. So here's another of them. It's the last, I promise.
The plot differences here reflect one of the alternates I considered when planning the previous story. The character of Dr. Antonov is older than in #328, and here he is morning a dead wife rather than going all emo over a bad break-up. I think, in reflection, this combination is far more in keeping with the kind of Golden Age feel I was originally aiming for.
