Summary
In computability theory, the Halting Problem is the problem of determining, from a description of an arbitrary computer program and an input, whether the program will finish running, or continue to run forever.
--
A series of loosely connected time travel stories, set in a universe where alternate timelines exist. Time travel works by splitting a timeline into multiple parallel lines whenever a divergent change happens. If a dive ends with a closed loop and doesn't make significant divergent changes, the timeline does not split.

Summary
A caesura (Latin for "cutting") is a metrical pause or break in a verse where one phrase ends and another phrase begins. In time value, this break may vary between the slightest perception of silence all the way up to a full pause. The length of a caesura where notated is at the discretion of the conductor.
Even ripples have gaps, and quiet moments have their stories. The divine is on the brink of war, the world is on the verge of collapse, but the world carries on. Time marches on.
(A collection of stories dissecting the nature of time and memory. Each story should be read as a standalone.)

Summary
Dear Richard,
You were in my dreams again.
Love, Charles~
It was strange to say that I missed him, after everything. My rational mind kept clinging to some last pleading hope that I could somehow find it in myself to condemn his actions, but at the end of the day we were all murderers, weren't we?
Still, I suppose in some small corner in the back of my head I had hoped I'd feel more ready to pass judgement over him when he showed up at my doorstep unannounced.
