Oppenheimer's Bicycle

[David Perlmutter]

You told his story better in a couple of minutes than Christopher Nolan did in a couple of hours.

[Justin Deming]

Now this is one heck of a story. I love how your mind works, Bill. The time travel element is so much fun and so creatively executed!

[C. Mack Lewis]

I've been looking for writing like this! Glad I found it. Your craft is excellent and the story is compelling. YAY for great writing.

[Eduardo de Leon]

I like how he time travels, thank you!

[Colin Devonshire]

That was different. Great.

[Deirdre Mooney]

Liked the final twist!

[Sam Rake]

Excellent. I thought this story story was heading in the same direction as the Twilight Zone episode, "A Stop at Willoughby" - was not expecting that twist at the end, but I liked it. It makes for a more nuanced perspective of Oppenheimer's contributions to science.

[Mark Starlin]

A little bit of redemption for the bomb builder. Could have been a movie. 😉 (I haven’t seen the newest Oppenheimer movie.)

[Malcolm J McKinney]

You have a good grasp of the eternal arc.

We may flame out

Or slowly decay

But our children

And theirs

Will place our shadows

Alongside those

In the great

Sunlit forest
