Common Time

"Common Time" is a science fiction short story written by James Blish. It first appeared in the August 1953 issue of ''Science Fiction Quarterly'' and has been reprinted several times: in the 1959 short-story collection ''Galactic Cluster''; in ''The Testament of Andros'' (1965); in ''The Penguin Science Fiction Omnibus'' (1973); and in ''Isaac Asimov Presents the Great SF Stories''.〔(James Blish Bibliography )〕
The story is considered to be an archetype of symbolism in science fiction.

== Synopsis ==
A man named Garrard is a test pilot for an experimental space ship bound for Alpha Centauri. Previous attempts to make the trip have failed. Garrard is put in the ship in suspended animation and wakes up after the ship has gone into "over-drive". The first thing he remembers is the injunction: "Don't move". Garrard realizes that ship time seems to be almost stopped relative to his own; he is not breathing, and his muscles respond slowly to mental directions. He calculates that 6000 years of subjective time will pass before the ship reaches its goal. Suddenly, he realizes that ship time is speeding up, until it equals, then exceeds, his subjective time. As the differential time rates increase, he again loses control of his body and goes into "pseudo-death".
Garrard awakes as the ship comes out of overdrive near Alpha Centauri. Around him in the space ship is a group of dreamlike beings that call themselves "the clinesterton beademung" and speak to him in dream-language, which he understands perfectly. The story's narrative also becomes dreamlike at this point, suggesting that Garrard's experiences are indescribable. As the ship's automatic mechanism is about to start the journey back to Earth, Garrard again goes into pseudo-death, and remains in that state until the ship nears Earth. He lands safely. He can no longer remember what the "beademung" was like or even if it was real, but he has a haunting sense of loss.
