Subject: Not a great story...

This story could have been developed a bit more, I found it boring.

In the future people will travel freely between time levels and be allowed to live anywhere, as long as they don't affect other times. If they do, time police will come in and save the day to prevent time being changed. This story is a day in the life of a timecop.

First reader was really hard to listen to, background noises that were painful to the ears and hard to filter out.
Second reader was better, if a bit tinny.
