Summary: "Disaster Revisited" by Darius John Granger is a science fiction novella written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around themes of mortality, existential despair, and the potential consequences of time travel. It explores the psyche of a wealthy man, Jason Wall, who grapples with his impending death and contemplates the eradication of humanity itself to prevent others from enjoying life. The plot centers on Jason Wall, who, after learning he has a terminal illness, becomes consumed by jealousy over the happiness of others. Unable to bear the thought of the world continuing without him, he devises a plan to travel back in time to kill the first human, thus preventing the existence of humanity and the suffering that comes with it. As Wall embarks on this journey, he encounters the First Man and later the First Woman, gradually leading to a profound realization about life, love, and the very nature of existence. Ultimately, Wall’s attempts to fulfill his destructive mission lead to unintended consequences, leaving him to confront his legacy and the pain of his own life choices.
