Prompts = Genius, Farfetched, Correct
Story 1 — Nonlinear Time
Wilson stared at the final equation on the board he’d circled three times in exhilaration. It seemed farfetched, impossible even, but the result was correct, a product of cold-hard logic and caffeine-fuelled determination.
The equation faded into the background of the mind’s eye; visions of applauding mathematicians congratulating him for his genius floated to the fore.
‘What up, Willy?’ It was that insufferable Ted Perkins, wunderkind from MIT, barely out of diapers. ‘Did you mean to make that mistake there? Whoops!’
‘Mistake? Where?’
‘There. Glaringly obvious.’
‘That’s no mistake.’
‘Time can run backwards?’
‘Ted, linear not is Time.’

Story 2 — Ignored Genius

In Roman times, Geniuses were thought to be aspects of divine nature, separate from an individual, that followed someone starting at birth and ending when the person died.
This is a story about one Roman’s Genius.
‘Look, I know it seems farfetched, but it’s correct, ok? I ran the numbers twice!’
Or maybe, it’s a story about an ignored Genius.
‘Not going to happen. My family has never done it that way and it isn’t going to start now.’
But eventually, someone else listened to their Genius.
‘Lucky guy’, said our Roman.
His Genius threw up his hands in exasperation.
