:-) Bugger! I was hoping against that. Back at the beginning of the thread, he doesn’t recognize himself – having not been that person for countless time – when young Prot demands his deal with the Devil (played by Old Prot)

I should note: I’m calling him Prot as short for “Protagonist”, not as any real name.

Haha, feel free to write a different sequel to your story then! Actually, I kinda want to make a big Choose-Your-Own-Adventure style web of stories (not necessarily with this plotline of course!). It would help if we could retroactively link stories as sequels/prequels to make a nice webbed narrative structure instead just a branching one.

This is intriguing to say the least.
