“Memory” by H.P. Lovecraft
"Memory" is an extremely short story by Howard Philips Lovecraft. I think this counts as a work of speculative fiction. If "Man After Man" was public domain, I'd cover that.
If you like this story, I have two works I recommend you check out. Dougal Dixon is a fantastic author whose focus is on speculative anthropological evolution. Basically, he writes books about what people might evolve into. You've likely seen Dougal Dixon's work online before. I also enjoy C. M. Kosemen's "All Tomorrows" but that is also not public domain, so I highly recommend purchasing that book to support the author.
Clearly, my "makeup" for today was inspired by Georges Méliès' "Le Voyage dans la Lune" -- A Trip to the Moon. Interestingly, Georges Méliès was inspired by Jules Verne, who in turn inspired Lovecraft, who inspired me. It's all rather cyclical, isn't it? Time is a flat circle...
