Comment from MJ McIntire

Excellent

I also wonder what would happen if I knew the answer to what would have happened if I had made different choices.
Now that Mark has seen what would have happened he is left with more questions.
This story touches on questions I think a lot of people ask of themselves

Ah, to the machines we go. This first experience is a powerful one. Goes to show you there might be more than one right path. You went the right path with this writing. Well done.

In this chapter Mark gets a chance to play out sections of his life once again. He sees how it was and how it might have been. He can't go back and replay. Once done, it's done. Now he's been called to have a chat with others.

A very intriguing idea. I'm not sure if I'd want to see what would have happened if I had made different choices but maybe I would. Thanks for a thought provoking read. Mary

I think most people have wondered 'what if?' I certainly have. What if I could go back in time and run screaming when I encounter my ex-husband? Would I have had much the same experience with someone else? Or would my life have been better? I guess we can't really know the answers right now.

This story poses interesting questions and lets up ask ourselves what if when it comes to us and our decisions. Second guessing is a hard thing. Very well written

Excellent

I found this work to be extremely complex and innovative in subject matter and overall delivery. I read it several times and could only shake my head in amazement at the creativity of the writing. I certainly cannot offer anything to improve it in any way and look forward to more from this amazing writer! HIS GRAYNESS

Good morning, Patty

Love the names of the various pin ball machines. Makes one wonder what could have been (or couldn't) based on one decision, action or no action, setting destiny in motion. Enjoyed.

Take care and stay safe,

Ray

Hi Charlie;
thank you so much for your loyal reading of my work. I'm enjoying finally breathing life into this idea for a novel. I think the actual work will be much longer and offer more information, but I'm getting the story out here on FS.

I do appreciate your review,

~patty~
