Non-Stop Buzzing Led Him To Tear Open His Bedroom Wall... What He Found Inside Was Completely Unexpected.

Just as they were about to give up, convinced they were experiencing some unexplainable glitch in reality, Larry’s phone rang. It was an archivist from the local historical society who had spent hours digging through obscure legal archives from the late 1940s.

“I found something,” the archivist said, sounding breathless. “The Finch family didn't just vanish. Following a bitter, massive legal feud over the family's old property—the exact house you just bought, Larry—the family fractured. Artie’s branch legally changed their last name to escape the local drama and relocated three states away, while your ancestors, Mark, also relocated but within the city.”

Mark grabbed the document from Larry, tracing the names down the newly discovered family tree. His jaw dropped. The obscure, forgotten branch that had fled the state connected directly to his own great-grandfather. Arthur “Artie” Finch was Mark’s great-granduncle. Because of that ancient family dispute that happened decades before they were born, Mark’s side of the family had stayed behind in total ignorance of their living relatives. The time-travel double was a blood relative Mark never knew existed.
