I really enjoyed this perspective on who Carlton is - it gives some clue as to how he would be able to offer up his own son as a sacrificial lamb. At the same time, it also suggests that he probably wouldn't want to do it. Trapped by circumstance, that should be the subtitle of "Traveler"...

ah I love traveler altho Carlton is not my fav (will is) we need more fanfics :) so keep writing

Oh...I almost feel sorry for the guy.

Almost.

This was really, really good. Great job!

Well thought out, well written, and entirely plausible. Excellent!

I like this; it's a well written take on Carlton Fog, and his survival-of-the-fittest attitude carries nicely to what he'd told Tyler about being weak. Power has corrupted him -the breaking of the mirror worked well in his own realization of what he's become. It's almost sad, because he knows what he is, but can't -or won't- do anything about it, just as the only thing he could do for his son was not turn him in, hoping that he'd survive. Great job!
