I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.
Aside from travelling through time in my old locomotive, I host a creature feature video show on MarsDust.com. My father, the gentleman who invented the process by which temporal vapours are distilled was lost in time upon perfecting said elixer. He must have discovered cinema on his journey, because I have found that many of those old movies - escpecially the B horror and science fiction ones contain clues that match up with a signal he is transmitting to my wireless chronophone.
You can help me unravel this mystery soon, for I will be broadcasting my own transmissions onto the servers of MarsDust.com.
In exchange I have agreed to act as something they call "Weird Science Advisor" for them. I understand they have recently discovered a most ugent need of one.
Who I'd like to meet: Evelyn Waugh, Charles Dickens, Sherlock Holmes, H.G. Welles, Captain John Carter, Sydney Newman, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, Queen Victoria, J.K. Rowling, The Toxic Avenger, Leonardo DaVinci, Stephen King, Edgar Allen Poe, Merlin, George Pal, Ed Wood, Lloyd Kaufman
