Summary

When Candy the Kid’s parents ask him to stop his wandering ways and work for them, he runs away, but he ends up trapped on Mars! Lessons include: It can be hard to say how we feel, but your loved ones will always listen; connection and curiosity guide us through conflict better than isolation and punishment. This episode refers to the Time Vortex, a strange phenomenon that displaced many characters in What If World. You can listen to this story as a stand alone, but to hear more about the Time Vortex, you can listen to episodes 267, 268, and 272 first.
