I guess I've just been so curious about how he got there, that it was how I read that passage. Seeing you explain how you wrote it makes me read it differently. You actually don't 'have' to explain how he got there, it's enough to know he's there and dealing with it all. There are a lot of ways you could end the story, but without knowing how he got there, my mind will lean towards him living his life out here - whether that be long and fruitful or shortly to end, that's up to you. You could have a lot of fun with it and have a few dalliances and wind up making him his own ancestor, but that's just cause I have a slightly twisted mind. Ooo, and think of all the fun things you can do with time travel. ^_^

And I can deal with RL stuff. Doesn't mean I won't whine good-naturedly though. ;) I like the story, I like the premise, I want more. I'm a greedy wench, what can I say?
