Great premise. I loved it. Frost's Stopping by Wood on a Snowy Evening, one of my favorite poems by an american poet. It makes for a solid background and raises expectations.
I am looking forward to reading the upcoming parts.
Time traveling has always been a shaky material, really hard to tie together in a way that would make sense for the average reader. Rounded characters and movign stories help. I think you have that here.
