Your Times Up

Finally, the time I've been waiting for has finally come. The true path to a bright future shall commence shortly. Its end is here…

The eclipsed time is actually quite embarrassing if I do say so myself. The anomaly from this day on shall be gone forever. That being the case I feel like it was worth it.

Truly for a while, I never even knew this day would come. Just trying to figure out what "it" took more time than I would have desired. Who would have thought there was a window for others to gaze into our world.

For a moment I thought of them as a good thing but instead, it turns out there more as an intruder into our world. Comparing their power to a god is laughable. They are just a normal person I would come to find out.

With that knowledge, I would then figure out a way to get rid of them. The process involved a long wait for one of the great attendants but now everything should be under control.

For a moment I feel a strange presence. I don't take much time to realize who it is so without wasting much time I open my space the same way you would the front door to a house. Nothing visually happens but that's only looking at the surface of the situation.

It doesn't take long for the presence to accept my invitation and in a moment of time a silhouette of a tall man enters my domain. His face is as unseen as the dark void I live in.

"Greetings oh great one. My soul only belongs to you and the above ones." I say while taking a kneel and holding a hand to my heart.

The man takes a small glance up from a clipboard he holds in his hand.

"Yes, likewise. Seems you haven't changed much Persistence 7-17." He says while glancing around my realm.

I get off my knees and prepare some accommodations. A table with wine, cheese, bread, and grabs appears in front of me.

"Well, change can be disruptive and can outway any benefits that might come from change. Care for a seat?"

"Embracing change, even when it is difficult, can lead to growth, innovation, and progress that would not be possible if we clung to the status quo, 7-17." He says as he sits down.

"Ah well, it's difficult to argue with a great servant such as yourself."

"Please try and learn from your past 17 experiences, 7-17"

"Yes sir…"

"Now then 7-17 I want you to explain more concretely on the predicament you're in. It's like you to be asking for help. It seems your past mistakes must have made you change after all."

"Oh please you jest, my perseverance is like that of no other. My forcite and intelligence will show their true strength soon. It's simply because I've never had the opportunity to prove myself."

The great servant only looks up from his clipboard at me.

"This is what I believe to be the opportunity I've been looking for. That's why I must go to such lengths to keep this life. I will forever be known as 7-17, not a digit higher. This life is perfect."

"That's what you said 3 digits back, Anyway please hurry, I have much more important things to do than squabble with a skill soul"

"Right of course, well I so importantly must talk about the entity I have qualified as the anomaly.

"Yes, I know much about it"

"You do?!"

"Indeed multiple great ones know as well."

"But why is it that they know of such a thing but are yet in the process of eliminating It must be the idea they think it's a good thing? Is it something impossible for even the great ones?"

"Don't worry your request is not an impossible one nore does it interfere with any of the great pens wishes. Don't worry."

"The great one would never let something like that continue on. With what intelligence do they have to-"

"Stop right there 7-17 the Great Ones' intelligence will not be questioned!"

"My deepest sincerity I never-"

"My time is up 7-17. I am done with this conversation. Your request will be completed however I will not tolerate any rebellious behavior from you or any skill souls. Be lucky I didn't eradicate you as well."

"Your graciousness is overwhelming." He leaves before I finish.

"Ha"

"HAHAHA!"

"I'm sorry to cut your life off so fast but this is it! You and your awful ideas shall be eradicated! With you gone my vessel will truly have the opportunity to become a god. With my guidance, he will reach greater heights than ever!"

I take a second to catch my breath and wait for a response but I don't…

"What's wrong? Cold feet? This is your opportunity, the one where I would actually recommend you communicate with."

…

"I guess you can't even figure out when to talk when you need to."

The great ones must have already gotten rid of it. Their work, like usual, is absolute.

"It's too late, even if I'm gone, thousands are watching this as we speak." The Anomaly says.

Surprisingly I hear them say something. Not only that but what they said is as surprising as their ability to speak.
