"Familiar yet a nice twist"
An aptly named title.. 2 short stories that are interlinked, yet can be approached on their own.
Both stories run over the "same" timeframe - but from two different perspectives.
The 1st story is about a man's journey at 41 years old, to help himself 20 years ago through time travel... the 2nd about his life as of 21 year old being approached from a man who claims to be himself, but from the future.
Part of yourself is extrapolating very "cliched" variants for the ending - but the twist is familiar yet surprising... won't spoil it, but do be patient.
Recommended..
Only 4 stars - because it would have been interesting from Megan's perspective!

"Good Story"
Time travel genre is all about the same. But this one is well done.

"Enjoyable, don't know if I need both viewpoints"
"Forty counting down" was an entertaining and thought provoking story. But after reading it, I wasn't sure I wanted to hear the same story from the younger protagonist's point of view in "20 counting up"--the first story already explained what would happen to him.

"good short story"
This story is short and gets right to the point with not much time for serious plot or character development. It dives in headfirst to the life of the main characters and moves quickly enough to keep you interested. Not a serious page turner but not bad to listen to on a trip as I did.
