This is really well thought out, and it gave me some ideas for my own story. I’m doing a time travel story about a bodybuilder from five years in the future who is pulled through a time rift and ends up trapped in the present.

He must become room mates with his obese past self and live out those five years to return to his own time naturally.

I want to start the story five years in the future when he marries the female love interest in the story before being pulled into the past.

Thank you for writing this article.
