The Great Substack Story Challenge // My humble contribution to a round-robin by 13 Substack authors. Time travel, multiverses, and loads of weirdness!
I like the way this chapter takes place at the edge of time and that for a moment Joey actually watches time being created! It really brings the backstory of Joey and Crystal into play and yet still leaving so much unanswered. Nicely done!
The teacup(s) have been explained! And dad's home! 😮
This was great! I enjoyed how you've circled us back around to it being a conversation between Joey and Crystal with the Hitchhiker's references and feels. And I love how the more I *want* to trust this Crystal variant, the less I feel I should. It really feels like the beginning of the end. I'm excited!
NICE! I love this whole chapter including the relationship twists, the multiples, the hitchhiker’s references and the big surprise at the end. Well done all round!
The Grisly Ghosts of Gruesome Time – Chapter 11
Oh this is such a cool challenge. I always wanted to work on something like this.
Happy new year!

Nice hook to read more. Great!
Great twist! This story has so many layers.
Great work, Alex. Thought I caught a whiff of Jedi there at the end. And three Joeys for the price of one! Eat your heart out Amazon!! 🎯
Nice! And the allusions to Douglas Adams and Philip K. Dick are nice as well....
