| Summary | "Forever is Not So Long" by F. Anton Reeds is a science fiction novel written during the early 20th century. The story explores themes surrounding time travel, human ambition, and the choices one makes between personal desires and professional duties. Set against the backdrop of 1931 Europe, the narrative engages with the potential of scientific exploration and its implications on human relationships. The plot centers around Stephen Darville, a young assistant to Professor Ploving, who is on the verge of testing a groundbreaking invention known as the Ploving Tube—a device intended to facilitate time travel into the near future. As Darville prepares for this monumental experiment, the juxtaposition of his romantic feelings for Jean, Ploving's daughter, against the pressing demands of scientific discovery presents an emotional conflict. After activating the time machine, he witnesses the devastation of the future—his past life obliterated by war and destruction, including the loss of his loved ones. Returning to the present moment, Darville realizes the value of love over the pursuit of knowledge and chooses to embrace his relationship with Jean, declaring that they will have forever together, emphasizing the enduring power of love amidst the potential chaos of time and fate.
