  2. Summary

    I've been meaning to rewrite these before posting them on any platform. I've made minor changes here and there, but I never got around to a full-on rewrite. I'm posting them as they are so you can learn from younger me's mistakes.

    I have since learned how to "show, not tell" (hopefully) and convey characters' personalities by the way they narrate (hopefully).

    Summary

    Samuel Dalton was a complete fiction, of course, but that didn't mean that when Sam Reich snuck back upstairs to get tied up in the “out of order” bathroom, the Sam that remained on the monitor, laughing at the contestants, was a pre-recording. And if Brennan, Siobhan and Lou had snorted at the idea of a time-travelling evil magician great-grandfather (for good reason), going in with the actual truth of the matter would have sounded like jumping the shark.
    It sounded bizarre, but the time travel bit was the only part about his new partner in crime that was confirmably real. Admittedly, the jury was still out on “evil”—he gave off a weird vibe at times, but so far, no lines had been crossed, and it had all been funny as hell—so for now, Sam was willing to roll with it. But perhaps most surprisingly, there wasn’t even the possibility of blood relation between Samuel Dalton Reich and the guy who had shown up out of the blue one day with his exact face and a plan to really fuck around with things on Game Changer.
    Yeah, the whole alien thing had really ruled out that particular prospect.
    or:
    game changer gets somewhat more dangerous when sam's doppelganger turns up with ideas.
