Summary "Security Plan" by Joseph Farrell is a science fiction short story written in the late 1950s. The narrative revolves around Ted Langer, a child prodigy who has devoted his life to designing a time machine, while grappling with the practicalities of adulthood. The story explores themes of ambition, familial relationships, and the human fascination with time travel, all set against the backdrop of Langer's struggles to make his inventions a reality. The plot centers on Ted and his wife Marilyn as they run a struggling restaurant and contend with their financial woes. When Ted finally completes his time machine, a young man from the future named Solid Chuck Richards arrives unexpectedly. As they converse, Ted learns about the stark differences between their times, particularly concerning food and currency value. Solid Chuck proposes a plan to bring affordable meals to his society, igniting a partnership between the past and the future. Ultimately, Ted realizes the potential of their newfound connection to secure their future and fulfill his dreams, setting the stage for a second honeymoon on Mars. The story humorously addresses the implications of time travel while highlighting the enduring human desire for progress and security. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
