I'm sleep deprived so this episode may seem backwards and uncouth. Micro Episode Season 5, Ep 8 Last week's episode, Quantum Division, did something bizarre to my brain. It was almost like a cool electric shock danced through my head making it difficult to sleep. Due to my sleep apnea and active imagination, sleep doesn't come easy.I envy those people who sleep like a baby. Are you one of those blessed humans who sleep through the night undisturbed, who wake up in the morning like a viagra commercial? For me sleep is a battlefield of constant tossing and turning and to make matters worse I have to sleep with a CPAP machine. Picture Darth Vader, well that's me in a breathing mask. It took me over a year to get used to this contraption. It was my wife's idea a couple of years ago for me to go to the doctor.She noticed I temporarily stopped breathing while I was asleep. Doctor told me to make an appointment with the Sleep Clinic, this is a place where you sleep overnight and they monitor your breathing. Sounded strange but I decided to go because it would make for a good story.

One side wants to maintain the Timeline the other wants to change it. Season 5, Episode 7 An agent wakes up naked in a hotel room. Things appear familiar but he can't recall his name and how he got there. This story and its connected stories took years to develop. My goal was to write a time travel adventure since I'm a geek for time displacement tales. Time traveling stories could be confusing, you have to make sure you establish laws and do your best to abide by them. If the author negates his own time travel laws then the story becomes loopy and difficult to follow. Hopefully this story, Time Collective and 100 Years From Now, will make sense. I did my best, there's no guarantees. If you find the time travelling stories loopy and upside-down please reach out to me, I'll do my best to explain it. Hopefully you won't be more dumbfounded after I explain it.

Is reality objective or is it a mere mental construct? Season 5, Episode 9 This episode breaks the 4th wall and dives feet first into the meta of story building. The main character starts to realize he's the main protagonist in the story he created. In order to maintain the universe he developed he has to continuously articulate this story. There's some people who deny objective reality, they think the physical laws of the cosmos are a manifestation of the mind. I don't fall into this camp however I find it fascinating. Special performances by Tiffany C Lewis from the Beta Reader Bits podcast, and Jessica Berson from Echoes in-between podcast.
