Chalmers Comes Back (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Chalmers Comes Back

He knew only vaguely who he was. His name - e yes, he could remember that. It was John Chalmers. He tried at times to connote the associations of the name, but was too tired to pursue the quest very far. There were brief flashes Of recollection, which were like pictures Of scenery, disclosed suddenly by light ning. He saw at times a city, metropolitan, many towered, rising from the sea, starred with a million lights. Gracious and benignant figures walked on the terraces that fringed the sea; lighted vehicles moved through the streets, bells rang, voices clamoured joyously, an immeasurable life swayed and eddied, an infinite stir and movement shook the air. He knew that he had once had a part with these multitudes, but before he could comprehend what that part was the Whole vision sank into the sea, and the lighted towers went out like fallen rockets.
