Book 1, Chapter 15 - When the Loom Skips a Beat

Chapter Fifteen — When the Loom Skips a Beat

Something inside the TARDIS is wrong.

Corridors stretch farther than they should. Rooms appear where they do not belong. The ship seems to respond to events that have not yet happened.

Then the Loom skips.

For one impossible instant, reality loses its rhythm.

The Doctor and Ava discover that the damaged temporal network is no longer merely affecting distant worlds. Its instability has reached the TARDIS itself — and someone may be exploiting the connection.

The Doctor can feel possibilities being placed in front of him before he chooses them.

Choices written in his own handwriting.

A future that feels perfectly natural.

Perhaps because someone else designed it that way.
