For the past couple of weeks, in between fangirling over the madness of Orphan Black, procrastinating over everything (probably could’ve written this a week ago), and consistently shoving Ben & Jerry’s Milk & Cookies down my throat, I have been reading Dust in the Wind by William Hutchison. Hutchison has spent over 35 years working…
299,792,458 Km/s The speed of light, at which time travel becomes theoretically possible… Thus opens 300,000 kilometres/seconde, a French, sci-fi short film by Stéphane Réthoré.
