- The apartment was empty. So was she. But not for long.
This story might be either very dark or very hopeful, depending on your reading of it. I, for one, really like it.
This Art Lewis is a bit of a mystery. A one shot wonder, or a pseudonym? There does not seem to be any information about this specific author to be found online, or it might simply be a case of the proverbial needle in the haystack of namesake Arts and Lewises. Anyway, this story is the only one credited to this name.
No background music, by popular demand. Only my voice, croaks, wheezes, and all. Enjoy!

Stories of Futures Past presents a vintage science fiction short story, narrated by myself, Tom Trussel. An actual, real living human being, warts and all.
Any and all voices and effects are produced live during reading with my actual voice. No obnoxious after effects, synthetic voices or filters used.
English is not my first language. There will be inaccurate accents and the occasional strange pronunciation. No mockery is ever intended.
These stories are also good for English learners / ESL. The full text is right there on the screen in a big and easy to read font. Read along with me. It's great practice!
Or, let me read you your bedtime story! If you need some ASMR sleep stories this channel is brimming with compilations and playlists.
A note about channel donations:
At this point in my life I do not need nor ask for your money. I do this for the love of the short story and to help promote the enjoyment of science fiction and fantasy literature.
However, if you enjoy my readings and would like to put your money where my mouth is, I would suggest instead to pay it forward to a good cause. Please consider donating to www.gutenberg.... to help them keep up the good work. Project Gutenberg is an organization dedicated to promoting the free distribution of written works in electronic formats. I make no secret that I find the majority of the public domain stories I read here on their website gutenberg.org. There you will find a massive collection of ebooks that are free for anyone to read and download. Most of them are vintage with either lapsed or expired copyrights.
I am not affiliated with Project Gutenberg in any way other than that I use their website.
Now, if you still want to throw a dollar or two at your humble storyteller, feel free to use ko-fi.com/tomt...
After all, it’s not as if I’ll say no to money freely given. Any tips I receive will go towards better audio equipment for a cleaner sound in the future, and I will make sure to pay a portion forward to gutenberg.org myself.

AWESOME.!! 👍 👍 👍
Thank you so much Tom.!!
You are very welcome! I am glad you enjoyed the story :)
He did not dewcribe what Julia found in the future, just left us hanging
To be fair, she was at the end of her rope
@@futurespast-42 No sheet; Sherlock (couldn't resist that one)
@@SpacePatrollerLaser Suspense got her at the end.
And they lived happily ever after... ;)
Thats a great story, and to think i have that issue and havent read it yet!
There are a lot of one-hit wonders in SF.
And many more I have not discovered yet! (I hope) I find that many of these one hit wonder stories are both inventive and well written :)
Hi sir. I’d like to thank you for your diligent uploading schedule and I wish it could’ve been enjoyed by a larger audience. I’m sure a lot of effort goes into just picking out these vintage and somewhat obscure stories. I’m happy to have found your channel and a few other channels who do audiobooks. This kind of media is so oversaturated with AI voices, boring/predictable stories, and poorly written creepypasta passed off as “true” Reddit stories.
May I ask you to consider uploading these on other platforms, preferably podcast apps like Apple Podcasts? Maybe I’m in the minority but I almost exclusively listen to audiobooks on Apple Podcasts. Especially as a non-premium RUclips user I would love to be able to listen uninterrupted by unpredictable ad breaks.
Thank you for your kind words! I must confess to knowing next to nothing about podcasts or other platforms. I will have to look into it. If you have any pointers or suggestions, I would appreciate it :)
Vassi was probably a horrible mutant
I imagine he's a brain in a jar :)
Vassi is most handsome. They have different criteria is all.
A beautiful mind ;)

The good story I like it but Julia says vasey's name much too often
To be fair, she cannot see him, or feel his touch. So speaking to him is the only way she can assure herself he is there :)
@@futurespast-42 maybe bouncing and Echo off of him
😢.......
not 1st.
