Oh wow, that gets you right in the feels 😭

It's interesting, we're looking at the final survivors of the WW2 generation coming to their natural end, as the WW1 generation did a decade ago. In this universe you'll end up with a generation of Transition survivors shuffling off the mortal coil around the same time as they went back through the wormhole in that other timeline, which would be unbelievably surreal for them, particularly for how the world they ended up in has changed due to their arrival and the knowledge it brought. Enough to make your head hurt to think on it too much.

Indeed. Probably beyond my abilities to write about it well.

I wouldn’t sell yourself that short! Maybe that’s how you wrap up the Axis of Time when you’re done with it 😊

A great story and a fine addition to the Axis of Time. The AOT universe is clearly big enough to accommodate the work of other authors and I will hope to see more JB-approved stories (and hopefully books) that can add to what is, in my view, the finest of the Birmingham works.
