The Infinity Symbol

The enterprise was doomed to irrevocable failure. He looked at the board and re-examined his formulas. The astral entities were too complicated for the earthly mind. The fear of failure did not dampen his complicated theories. Could it be that some abstract integral was escaping his perception? The blemish of his calculations was just before his visage. His aide looked on like a sentry never opening his mouth. Then he noticed he had inserted the infinity symbol. Where for Pete’s sake did that come from? If he entered the machine and pulled the lever What would be the result? The word leapt into his head. It would be pernicious conclusion. So he desisted. No man could traverse time to an earlier time. 8 November 2020 Placed 3 Eight word challenge 11 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: John Hamilton
