Learning to Love Time Loops Without Going Insane

Stan found Jen sitting in her kitchen crying to herself. She started the loops a week after her divorce, and shortly after moved in with her mom as she worked to get her life back together. “Hey Jen, do you remember the last loop?” Stan asked her in a gentle voice.

“Yes, but they’re gone Stan, I can feel it. Camden and Chris are gone forever.” She cried harder.

“Wait, why, what happened?” A hint of fear crept into his voice.

Jen told Stan what happened at the end of the last loop, his face drooping.

“Okay, we need to find Ralth. Let’s not get angry yet. This means the kids are likely trapped in the loop themselves now, probably some like Andy and Andrew, I’ll explain what that means on the way. Let’s pack a bag and go home. We can have a nice dinner and then figure out what’s next. I love you Jen.” Stan hugged her.

“Okay, I love you too. We will figure this out together, but I might kill Ralth.”

“Let’s give him a chance to explain before any murder.”

“Fine.”
