Oscar just wants to get home to his own universe, where everything is the way he's used to.
He knew he wasn't supposed to go down those stairs in the cellar, but the cat led him down. Now, he's in what seems like the same house, but things are subtly different. And there's a copy of himself. He tries to go back the way he came, but it's different again. His dad is a crook, and his mother says things he never heard her say before.
He meets yet another copy of himself who knows what's going on, and becomes his best friend. He explains it to him: he's lost in the multiverse. His only option is to live like a rat in the cellar, exploring all the worlds until he finds a copy of his family that most suits him. If his bedroom isn't vacant, he could live like a twin to whoever is there - maybe. But his friend seems to know more than he's saying.
He makes a start on his search, and then comes back to find that the world where his best friend lived, has been nuked. Other worlds have political unrest and riots. In some, his paedophile uncle has broken out of prison, and a few copies of him are now roaming the multiverse. In all the worlds, the economy is bad, and the police only protect those who can afford to pay them.
Oscar's own world wasn't a paradise either, but at least it was home. He wants, very badly, to find his own world, and his own parents; but the cat has different ideas. There's only one of the cat.
If you like time travel stories with a surreal twist, you'll love this novella, which you can read in one evening. Download the first in the series now, and begin your journey
