Leo Sampsom is a four-time thief serving a life sentence. So what has he got to lose when a
strange man offers him a pill that will put him back into his own body right before his last
theft?
— Michael Main
But what if those pills really work? I’d be out of prison. .
. free, back twenty years!
Multiple Naive Timelines: This is an odd duck because Leo believes that time cannot be changed, but in fact, he’s already changed at least one thing by looking for the money under the floorboard before he went to the safe. And he’s not in a closed loop because at the start of the story, he didn't remember going through the loop before. It wouldn’t take a lot to shift this into a single static timeline, but it’s not there yet. Instead, it’s just multiple timelines that aren’t fully worked out.
