Summary
The earring that Hoffman had oh-so-kindly left in Strahm’s apartment, the one that Strahm had almost feverishly shoved through the unbroken, virgin skin of his ear lobe, had infected Strahm’s ear to the point that even the breeze brushing against it as he walked to the corner store and back was horrendously painful. He’d had worse injuries, his throat still killed, but the dull, poisonous throb of his ear was getting to him a little bit. A reminder that he was a horny, lust addled man who split his own skin apart for Mark Hoffman, of all people. It didn’t help that he couldn't stop fiddling with it either.

Strahm can't seem to find himself any place other than within the concentric circles that Hoffman winds around him. But at least his film collection is there to soften the embarrassment and blows.

Summary
Peter Strahm makes the life-ending mistake of throwing Mark Hoffman into the glass box and locking him inside. But before the walls can finish closing in on him, Strahm wakes up in the same spot, thrown back through time, twelve years in the past. When he meets the younger version of the man who will one day try to kill him, Strahm realises he has the chance to rewrite history and prevent Hoffman from ever going down the Jigsaw path and save himself in the process.
But will doing this get him back to his own time? Or is he destined to remain trapped in the year 1992?

Summary
"I don't want to continue Jigsaw's legacy. There is no way out for me. Except for this."
Strahm's heart sunk even lower than it already was.
Hoffman wasn't trying to kill him. He was trying to kill himself.
