HI there!
I've been trying to chase down a lose thread for awhile now... seemed like this might be a good place to ask...

I'm trying to find out the name of a RBradbury short story I read ages ago. I cannot remember the anthology... It concerns rips in time, apocalyptically killing the world, and told from the perspective a circle of friends. The rips accelerate, taking away days, weeks, then months, etc... Everyone is concerned about jumping blindly into the future...

Ring any bells? THANKS!

Nothing ringing here.

If your story can't be identified here on the Bradbury forum, the best place for identifying unknown titles and authors online is: http://forums.abebooks.com/abesleuthcom
Be sure to post a distinctive subject header, not just "looking for a story."

The next place to go is to the Isaac Asimov forum on Google Groups, or IF YOU MUST, Usenet: http://groups.google.com/group/alt.books.isaac-asimov?lnk=sg

While there, be sure to crosspost to rec.arts.sf.written, rec.arts.books, and rec.arts.books.childrens so as many as possible helpful readers see it. If a few trolls see it as well, that's the risk you run on Usenet.

If all else fails, this place http://www.logan.com/loganberry/stump.html

charges $2.00 per stumper, but they are excellent, widely read, and your stumper will stay up until solved, rather than being bumped down by new posts as on message boards.

Last of all, and MOST IMPORTANT: if your stumper is solved by any of these sources or elsewhere, PLEASE post it back here under this same thread, which you can find if it's been bumped down by searching for posts under your user name, so no one here goes on searching for it!

I saw your good advice on another forum... thanks!

Are you sure you�re not remembering more than one story, one of them being �The Big Time� by Fritz Leiber?
