That was a great short story!

I don’t know what I was expecting, but I was happily surprised none-the-less. Edward Lorn does an amazing job writing our main character and Ian Gordon is a phenomenal narrator! I listened to this at work to pass the time and throughly enjoyed it!

Interesting

This one was trippy and interesting. The reveal near the end was a little incongruous, but in a way it still kind of worked, even if it seemed out of place. I like the overlapping stories. It was a little weird that the protagonist had a lot to say about alternate timelines and a complex explanation of the cosmology or physics of the thing, but the second one at least is just my preference. All the same it was a good setup and could've maybe made a good full-length novel.
