Coldhouse Den-die

Well, er, yes and no. If Weer is lying about his age at the time (invalidating the big anchor for the current operating timeline), then the coldhouse death could be his own, just as he might be a dead boy next to his chemistry set. (And he would lie about his age ostensibly to distance himself from the prank if he was the perpetrator, too. In addition to lying about his age to avoid facing the fact that he himself died there.) But if Weer is not lying about his age, and the victim's details are true, then no, the death cannot be Weer's. =mantis=

Which was in fact my point ... This is just a goof, really, but it's a stfnal idea that I've played with many time and never come up with a good storyline for ... I've often had the idea of, well, if you can have multiple-sheaf futures, why not multiple- sheaf pasts? And then what if Alden, the Reasonably Friendly Ghost, actually has lived multiple versions of his life and died at several different points along the timeline ... — It would certainly clear up (by making irrelevant) many of the inconsistencies in the storyline(s). So he died of a stroke, and he died playing with his chemistry set, and he died in the coldhouse prank ... Just a goof, as I said. But I'm dead serious about the coldhouse == the barn.
