#project time wolf

Although there wasn’t a response at all around Project Princess Eighteen Wheeler, I’m going to try the same thing with Time Wolf. Bear with me.

The manuscript for Time Wolf currently ends partially into Chapter 12 (not enough to post; it basically goes to the plan to fight Wolf Technologies by sending Stephen back to the day he first got into the TX-31). Time Wolf wound up at a little over 18,000 words, and in this case it’s because life got in the way.

So what was the plan?

Utter chaos. Tiffany mentions to Stephen in Chapter 12 that every time he changes a timeline, he creates an offshoot from his original timeline, so whatever timeline he creates by stopping himself from travelling in the first place will be where he spends the rest of his existence. However, time can only handle so many offshoots from how it’s supposed to go, and as such timelines start to unravel, eventually contributing to Stephen’s growing madness.

Yes, Stephen’s losing his mind slowly but surely as he continues to travel in the TX-31. He starts having flashbacks of events he has no possible way of witnessing. No matter what he does to change the timeline, he still winds up destroying society as we know it by rising to the top of Wolf Industries, and one way or another he always destroys his family. The strain finally causes Stephen to crack, travel back to the original time travel incident, and kill himself ... rather, the version of him who first gets in the TX-31. The resulting paradox ripples completely through time, creating a disaster of highly epic proportions, eventually leading to a desolate world in the midst of the nothingness, the remnant of Earth existing outside of time, creating its own new timeline from scratch. The human race is forced to begin again, from a core group of people, including Stephen, Tiffany, Laricia, Ian, and three copies of each person from different timelines.

Now that I write out a synopsis, I realize I really created a mess for myself. There’s no possible way I could’ve written that coherently in context. So how would you have handled it if you were me? The same rules apply, write your own chapter to Time Wolf and send me a link to the post. Once again, I’m not planning on publishing this, so go wild!

I’ll soon be posting the next incomplete Nano. :)
