Conceptually interesting—time travel and the consequences of it. I felt the ending wrapped up a little too neatly and in an unsatisfying way (think: a story ending like: “and then he woke up and everything had been a dream!”). But there were certainly interesting concepts and suspense here. Despite my dislike for the ending, I can say I didn’t necessarily see it coming, which was appreciated.
