You won't believe this, but I'm about to tell you a story that will change the course of history. A story about time travel, secret agents, and paradoxes. It's a story that will start with a chance encounter with a time traveler known as Jack the Ripper, and it will end with the founding of TACO, the Time Agency Chronoclasm Organisation, a powerful agency controlling time travel throughout history. The second short story tells how I was coerced into joining TACO as an observer on a mission to rescue the Blair witch. It was either that or be slightly dead. Apparently, the Blair witch was also a TACO agent and had been set-up to be almost killed by the good citizens of Blair by BELL, the time travel equivalent of the FBI. They wouldn't tell me what BELL stood for. The third story, my second time-travel mission, was to make sure the Titanic sank! Over 1,500 died but their deaths saved the lives of millions throughout the timeverses. The fourth story deals with paradoxes. 1493 wasn't ready for flying machines so Alex Pearin (aka Jack the Ripper) and I traveled to Florence in Tuscany to talk to Leonardo da Vinci about paradoxes and why he shouldn't build the world's first flying machine. Alex and I ended up helping Leonardo complete a flying machine and helping him on its first flight. I also solve a couple of other mysteries and discover I founded BELL.

The problem of the nature of fiction and the problem of nonexistence are closely tied because fiction often talks about nonexistent entities. In Fiction, Reference, and Nonexistence, A. P. Martinich and Avrum Stroll, two of America's leading philosophers, explore fiction and undertake an analytic philosophical study of fiction and its reference and its relation to truth. Included in the discussion is the authors' new, contemporary theory of fiction developed as an extension of the speech act theory of H. P. Grice, as well as the relationship between nonexistence and Bertrand Russell's well-known theory of definite descriptions, and Hilary Putnam's theory of the relationship between common names and the world.

When you look up at a midnight sky, what do you see—mottled stars and a full Moon trying hard to compete with the street lamps for your attention? You might be situated in a city, or its sprawling suburbs, where the ever-present urban glow tends to keep your gaze horizontal, missing out on the beckoning mysteries of the Universe. This Skywriters anthology will change all that. Through the eyes and creativity of people who write about south-eastern inland Australia, we’ll redirect your vision upwards to a brighter Moon, the subtle presence of nearby planets, the cosmic spectacular of our Milky Way galaxy and those celestial bodies even further away. You’ll find inspiring stories, poems and essays by a great diversity of Australians responding to what some have called the ‘Inland Astro-Trail’, which connects rural and remote communities with world-class astronomical observatories such as those at Parkes, Siding Springs and Narrabri. Some skystories are “literary”, others intensely personal, but all are guaranteed to widen your horizons—upwards!
