My name is Jamie Hattchet. I'm fourteen years old and a trained actor/pickpocket.

My life was pretty normal until I found the pocket watch. After that everything sort of spiralled out of control and my dad and I were flung through the pages of history (and the future), meeting all sorts of people; friends, foes, celebrities and things. All we wanted to do was to get back to our normal lives, to perhaps start afresh. I could do school and Dad could get a proper job, stop killing people for once. 

No such luck. Time is a harsh mistress.

My name is Jamie Hatchett and this is my story.

Mirror Sky. Part 1 - Blissful Nemesis

33 parts Complete Mature

The future is predetermined. It can't be changed. But who casts the future in stone? It's you, me, and every one of us. The iron grip of our fate doesn't come from gods or physics but from us. You are oppressed by your future self to walk the one and only road. Knowing the future changes nothing - this knowledge has already been written into your fate. Time travel is meaningless for the same reason - all your meddlings had also become a part of your fate before you even embarked on your journey through time. Could this strange duality of free will and fate be challenged? If so, what would it take? How far are you willing to go to change your dark fate? Is the risk of erasing the universe from existence worth your brighter future?
