>Day before yesterday I saw a rabbit, and yesterday a deer, and today, you

The Sandkings

Also this short story about a guy who was obsessed with deals and bargains and he made some shady deal to exterminate all the people on earth with these guys called 'mammal removers' and it turned out they were all reptile people living underground and they came for everyone in the night. Shit was kind of creepy and I've been trying to remember the name of the story/author for the last 5 years.

>>23044544
Just read it, that was fantastic.
>>23045731
The first link is the story.

>>23044544

holy fuck shit, why am i crying?!

Bookmarked it while on /jp/ once but never got around to it. Even though it's a scifi place I was expecting something else, 1961 and all that. Thanks OP, that was nice, when he opened the suitcase I had a rush thinking of conclusions.

Kotomi: A story of a girl from the past
Julie: A story of a girl from the future

Damn, that was beautiful

>>23044544
Thanks OP, that was beautiful.

>>23044544

that shit was tl;dr

go back to /jp/ and stick to reading shitty VNs.

>>23044544
Can someone explain the revelation of this story? the girl julie turns out to be his wife.. who's young.. in the future?

>>23046233
re-read the story again. It fully explains everything.

>>23046191

see

>>23044586

It's one of Kotomi's lines.

Rahxephon have this story as reference too ?

brb readin

>>23046191

Kotomi constantly referred to the book
"Day before yesterday I saw a rabbit, and yesterday a deer, and today, you"

Then it was a matter of googling the line.

Then buckets of tears were shed

>>23046319
fuck i feel stupid. but i still dont get it.

I can't seem to understand how the story has any relevance to Kotomi's own story though... Maybe I need to rewatch her arc again.

>>23046447

Sorry, My English is not very good.

I only can catch half the point of the story, can anyone explain to me what happen in that story?

>>23046414

yes it did. the whole scene of reika looking over the cliff is based on this short story, and it's a big concept in the whole show.

pretty slow op, this has been my favorite short story for a while now.

>>23044586

whoa, I didn't realize this was an actual story. Now I need to read this and run through Kotomi's arc again.

Rei can be seen reading "The Happy Prince" by Oscar Wilde in Rebuild

The girl is from the future. She goes into the past as a 20yr old and meets Mark, who is forty and married. They fall in love. Her time machine is breaking down, so she can only use it a few more times. She makes the decision to go further into the past, finds and marries the 20yr old Mark, and waits for him to grow up to be the man she already loves.

wow, i loved this story.

Anybody know anything similar. Now I feel all mushy and romantic all of a sudden.

Alright faggots, here is an overly simplified version of the story:

Julie who is in fact named Julianne is Mark's wife and true love. He meets his wife when she is 21 years old. Julianne is from the future. She meets Mark the first time she is 21 years old and he in his mid 40's. They quickly fall in love. Julianne is time traveling illegally. Her father dies and she does not posses the knowledge to fix her personal time machine that the government does not know about. The time machine needs to be repaired every time she travels because it ages. Her life 240 years in the future posses nothing of importance after her father dies (she was very fond of him). She tells Mark that she loves him, and she promises him that they'll meet again. And they do. She travels back in time when Mark is in his 20's and she becomes his secretary, they fall in love, get married and have a son. For twenty years she has lived with this knowledge prior to Mark knowing, this also plays a part as to why she did not want her picture taken at all.

This story is a play on the time traveling paradox.
"according to my father's concept, the book of time has already been written. From a macrocosmic viewpoint, my father says, everything that is going to happen has already happened. Therefore, if a person from the future participates in a past event, he becomes a part of that event—for the simple reason that he was a part of it in the first place—and a paradox cannot possibly arise."

It's more DAWWWWWWW than BAWWWWWWWWWWW

>>23046939

what? but why mark doesn't recognize the young Julianne?

She is her wife after all.

>old and senile

oh, right

Read Heinlein's --All You Zombies-- for a more badass time travel short story

>>23046939
>Julianne is time traveling illegally
This made me smirk.
