Jules Verne had a vision of life one of the little time travelers that afect our present.
Jules Gabriel Verne
Verne was forced to support himself as a stockbroker for a part of his life, which he hated despite being somewhat successful at it.
In 1863, Jules Verne wrote a novel called Paris in the 20th Century about a young man who lives in a world of glass skyscrapers, high-speed trains, gas-powered automobiles, calculators, and a worldwide communications network, yet cannot find happiness and comes to a tragic end. Hetzel thought the novel's pessimism would damage Verne's then booming career, and suggested he wait 20 years to publish it. Verne put the manuscript in a safe, where it was discovered by his great-grandson in 1989. It was published in 1994.
A real story put in the fiction .How sad! How manny wahy the paths of time have?

Solomon Grundy
In 1944, this creature rose from the swamp, with tremendous strength and some dormant memories that for example allowed him to speak English, but not knowing what he was, and not remembering Cyrus Gold or his fate. Wandering throughout the swamp, he encountered two escaped criminals, killed them, and took their clothes. When they asked him his name, he simply muttered that he had been born on Monday. Reminded of an old nursery rhyme about a man born on Monday, the thugs named the creature "Solomon Grundy". |

Soloman,
The middle paragraph (about the story) is not in your usual style of writing, could you please provide a link to where you got it from so we can read the whole story? |
