I think you might be right on this one. Some plant use fruit to get birds to transport their seeds great distances, but I believe that for many the fruit is actually to provide nutrients for the seeds. Good catch, and thanks for the comments!

I am reminded a bit of my Quantum Hackers story, where my character wound up in a slightly different reality by tinkering with his technology. Also with all the drinking, since my story was rife with substance use.

But this is very different, as it focuses on time and not parallel universes. The time travel is crazy! I’ve seen some episodes of Gargoyles or X-Men that get pretty crazy with the time travel, but usually nothing as epic as genocide ):

I love how she ended up in the harbor… That actually reminds me of Being John Malkovitch for some reason.

One thing I found confusing was “No tracks, fruit trees, or flowers, nothing suggested the animal kingdom had made it ashore.” … Would not fruit trees exist if the animal kingdom hadn’t made it ashore? Or are bees required for that pollination. My confusion may very well be due to my own ignorance :)

And bonus points for a Myers-Briggs reference!

But anyway.. wow…. what an end!

And again: Very dark. You’re writing a lot of dark stories. You okay? ;) Actually, I like ‘em dark and evil!

This was a very good story! Love the concept. Your protagonist was a bit of an idiot tho. Who commits suicide at the beginning of life on earth? I mean, at least go out with a bang… jump to when the sun goes nova…

Oh and here’s an observation for you. She successfully killed Hitler.
