Hello, @iskawrites
This is a story that made me think a lot about the implications of time travel and lucubrations ranging from parallel universes, multiverses, paradoxes (like grandparents), determinism, free will, disputed scientific theories based on relativity and the quantum world, just to name a few. And I said to myself, what about the present and the way humans perceive it.
Yes, it is a subject that has not yet been exhausted and that gives a lot to think about in the here and now.
Regarding the lump that fell on the protagonist, reading you, I think I got the desired effect. And if you think about it, both in life and in fiction, some events take you out of place. As for this topic, there's a lot to think about, even, about the here and now.
I was glad you liked it.
Greetings.
