Flight Through Tomorrow

A chemist named Dr. Loring stumbles upon Relin, a drug that suspends his body in frozen animation while his mind catapults forward through time. What he witnesses in that distant tomorrow is a chilling vision: Earth scarred by wars that have all but extinguished humanity. Ruined cities. Silent streets. The remnants of a civilization that burned itself to ash. But in the bleakness, he finds them: a small band of survivors, ragged but resilient, carrying the last spark of human hope. And then comes the impossible, a radiant being who offers these final souls a passage to another world, a chance for humanity's rebirth among the stars. Coblentz's 1947 vision is eerie and melancholy, a wartime meditation on how close we stand to the brink. It's not polished science fiction, but there's something haunting about watching humanity's end from the vantage of one man's drug-addled mind, and finding grace waiting in the wreckage.
