Captivating story, I really enjoyed it.

Sometimes it's a heroic task to let a relationship to follow its path... It's a surprisingly engrossing (and mildly depressing) tale, told in a very creative fashion.  Reading this  story was the best part of my morning.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. (reading this comment was the best part of my morning)

Just kept getting better and better as I went along. Early choices (and lack thereof) are given new meaning, or more clarity, as I went on. The dialogue flowed naturally within both the ‘flashback’ and perilous scenes. The story cycles and when it feels like I’m trapped it goes in line with Mark’s frustration (which is the point), but there’s also the sense of progress, of discovery. A lot of things here that are balanced really well, I think. Finally, at the climax, jumping to all the realities and seeing them snuffed out of existence was such a great idea, well executed! Awesome!

I'm glad you liked it! Yeah, one of my goals with this (as a computer science nerd) was to see how well Ink did with actual recursion and it did great.

A cool time loops story, the mixing of catastrophe and domestic drama was done really well.

A very interesting story, and a good use of ink to tell it, well done

This was amazing! I was hooked all the way through and I love how the black hole conflict and the characters' conflict feel so entwined.

I really enjoyed this story. The best time loops don’t outstay their welcome after the reader has caught on what is happening, and LiLSiaPBH is exactly the right length.

Thanks! Yeah, middles are tough. I'm glad the length worked for you.
