Title: Blank?
Language: English
By RANDALL GARRETT
Illustrated by ENGLE
Half an hour later, Kamiroff was rubbing his chin with a forefinger,
deep in concentration. "It sounds wild," he said at last, "but I've
heard of wild things before."
"But what caused it?"
"Do you remember what you did last night? I mean the night of the
first?"
"Not clearly; we got pretty crocked, I remember."
Kamiroff grinned. "I think you were a few up on me. Do you
remember that bottle of white powder I had in the lab down in the
basement?"
"No," Bethelman admitted.
"It was diazotimoline, one of the drugs we've been using in cancer
research on white mice. That whole family of compounds has some
pretty peculiar properties. This one happens to smell like vanilla;
when I let you smell it, you stuck your finger in it and licked off some
of the powder before I could stop you.
"It didn't bother me much; we've given it to mice without any ill
effects, so I didn't give you an emetic or anything."
The bromo had made Bethelman's head feel better. "But what
happened, exactly?" he asked.
"As far as I can judge," the biochemist said, "the diazotimoline has
an effect on the mind. Not by itself, maybe; perhaps it needed the
synergetic combination with alcohol. I don't know.
"Have you heard the theories that Dunne propounded on the mind?"
"Yeah," Bethelman said. "We discussed them last night, I think."
"Right. The idea is that the mind is independent of time, but just
follows the body along through the time stream.
"Evidently, what the diazotimoline did was project your mind two
weeks into the future—to the fifteenth. After two weeks—on the
twenty-ninth—it wore off, and your mind returned to the second. Now
you'll relive those two weeks."
"That sounds like a weird explanation," Bethelman said.
"Well, look at it this way. Let's just say you remember those two
weeks in the wrong order. The drug mixed your memory up. You
remember the fortnight of the second to the fifteenth after you
remember the fortnight of the fifteenth to the twenty-ninth. See?"
"Good gosh, yes! Now I see how I made all that money! I read all the
papers; I know what the stocks are going to do; I know what horses
are going to win! Wow!"
"That's right," Kamiroff agreed. "And you'll know where to leave all
those notes to yourself."
"Yeah! And on the afternoon of the fifteenth, I'll blank out and wake
up in my bed on the morning of the thirtieth!"
"I should think so, yes," Kamiroff said.
"It makes sense, now." Then Bethelman looked up at the biochemist.
"By the way, Dr. Kamiroff, I want to split this money with you; after
all, you're responsible for what happened."
The scientist smiled and shook his head. "No need of that. I have the
diazotimoline, remember? You said you couldn't get hold of me on
the phone; you said I was doing experimental work and couldn't be
disturbed.
"Now, just what do you think I'm going to be experimenting on for the
next couple of months?"
