Alternate Paths
What if you could step into the life you never lived?
In a forgotten corner of a traveling carnival, a mysterious scientist offers strangers a glimpse into the "what ifs" of their lives. For just a few dollars and a memory, Professor Edgar Williams can take you down the road not taken—into an alternate timeline where one choice changed everything.
Using a strange machine of mirrors and wires, Edgar sends visitors into vivid, lifelike realities where regrets can be rewritten, lost loves rediscovered, and painful decisions reversed. But every journey comes at a price, and not all paths lead to happiness—or a safe return.
When Edgar’s invention attracts the wrong kind of attention, and a dangerous alternate version of himself emerges, the line between invention and reality begins to blur. Now, the professor must navigate his own fractured identity and confront the terrifying consequences of opening doors to the multiverse.
Part science fiction, part psychological thriller, and part metaphysical mystery, Alternate Paths is a thought-provoking ride through fate, memory, and the infinite possibilities of choice. Fans of Black Mirror, Dark, and The Midnight Library will find themselves right at home in this gripping tale of timelines, temptation, and redemption.

Dear Mr Goldman,
Please start over.
These chapters feel as if they were notes taken down when planning a novel.
The idea is fun. The plot is workable.
It's just that it feels as if ⅔ or even ¾ is missing.
4 stars to encourage you to finish.
