@whitequark✧✦Catherine✦✧ You awaken in an unfamiliar bed, alone. You jolt upright, but "you" are not you; searching for the restroom, you face the mirror and see an unfamiliar face.

Your momentary panic is interrupted by a long beep from "your" bedroom. Cautiously, you return to find an IBM PC, its monochrome green CRT reading:

It is 1985 JANUARY 17 0643
You are CLYDE JOHNSON in ONTARIO
Execution of your program will resume here
Transfer complete; longjmp2() returned successfully.

@curtmack @whitequark✧✦Catherine✦✧ Theorising that one could longjmp within his own borrow lifetime, Doctor Sam Beckett stepped into the compiler and vanished... He woke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own, and driven by an unknown force to change stack contents for the better. His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from a lower ring, who appears in the form of a memory map that only Sam can see and read. And so Doctor Beckett finds himself longjmp2’ing from context to context, striving to restore what once was clubberrd by out of bounds write, and hoping each time that his next longjmp2 will be the trampoline home
