What he pictured to
be the end of things was more than a little removed from the standard
version. Most importantly, things didn’t happen in a set order. At
least not to all people. The ordinary approach had too many loose
ends. Not everyone was accounted for, and not all the avenues had
been exhausted. It was sufficient for the core of the experience
and the standard deviation from the bell curve. There was, however,
an outlier. A kind of fuzzy edge where if people looked closely
enough, things didn’t line up exactly.
An ebb and flow of
time had been happening on a kind of meta level, and he had been
caught up in the most turbulent part of it. As a result, things
started to break down from the most basic retelling of events.
Absolute perfection
required a very specific set of circumstances. Some doors opening,
and others closing. While not everything was visible, nor did he
have the full picture, he couldn’t see a straight line from the
goal to the destination, at least not without a lot of stuff off the
books.
