“Mako, you are one and all. You have been a wolf, a foxkat and other bits of your personality into others” said the voice.
“Then were, am I?” asked Mako.
“In a place, were everything connects and all answers are revelled” said the voice.
“Please tell me, what it all means?” asked Mako with curiously.
“As yourself or as you are now. You are shy and stuck in your ways, with darkness inside that finally made you snap. We made a rival for you, to be at constant odds until the darkness subsided. Your sister was your, playful side that wanted to have some fun, you got to make out with another girl and have fun with them also. She wanted you, to have but you never did so we caused all this for you to have some fun.
Lucy was someone you always, wanted but you never could have. We changed that for you, so you got the girl that you, were quite happy with. If we left things alone, you would have been alone forever. Xerxes was your gay side that always wanted you, but had a bunny instead. You had your self, once but that was in a different time. In the other time, you fell in love with the wolf and the bunny never came, into your lives. To you the bunny was yourself and you fell in love with yourself. On a Christmas that you don’t like to remember you were gang raped and tortured by many. Would you like me to go on?” said the voice.
“Yes and I like to know all” said Mako quite interested.
“The foxkat, was your deception, your deceit and a mystery. Dexter was killer of evil men and something you always were deep inside. Your mom was your innocents, but died because you wanted it to happen. You started going downhill after that because nothing was left, for you. The walls started to close in on you, as forces were coming to stop you. You managed to evade them and killed the darkness inside you at the end. The darkness is a shadow, that turned into a few things, a hedgehog that tortured you, a cop showing up at the end of a play, stalking you but you could never see even if it was right in front of you” said the voice.
In that moment Mako was transported back to the school days cafeteria with everyone he knows, some he met in passing through the halls of St. Lovejoy’s and others that have moved from Pounce field that he hasn’t seen in years even a mysterious hedgehog that he never met.
“Who the hedgehog?” asked Mako not recognizing him.
“The hedgehog is you from a different reality. All the grey’s died out many years ago, due to a deadly mass murder, of your line. The killer was never caught and everyone thought it was for the best. In that world you are, everything you hate and really open to everyone. Can you see the darkness in the room?” said the voice.
Mako looks around the room and doesn’t see anything out of the ordinary as everything is how he remembered it.
“I can’t see, it” said Mako with a sigh.
“Let’s turn the lights off and you’ll be able to see it now” said the voice.
The lights went off and everything was dark except for a certain spot in the room. Mako looked around the room and looked at a version of himself that was all covered in blood, cuts all over his body and ready to kill himself.
“It’s me, it’s always been me. I’ve caused this torment and made a version of myself to block it all out” said Mako shocked in his astonishment.
“Yes it has and in different realities you’ve died and lived other ways. In one you open a safe and grab the gun out of it. You kill your sister and then yourself after you realized what you’ve done. In another you never made it out of the building with the hedgehog. On October thirty first Halloween night, the day the hospital said you were going to die. You died of a heart attack in one, head chopped off in anther, died while yiffing with Lucy, blood clot, gunned down by cops and even more gruesome deaths in many other realities.
In some you, lived out your days in happiness. You got married to Lucy in one, Xerxes in anther, married the foxkat and even married your sister Maria. Your family line lived on with the girls and even Maria had cubs while you married Xerxes or someone else.
It all happens tomorrow, some right when you wake up but others later on in the day. The day of Halloween will be the day that ends everything or has a fresh start to your life. We can’t make it for you but you get to decide on that, isn’t that what you call fate or your destiny. You won’t remember any of this but this choice is yours.” said the voice.
A whole bunch of different windows open up to all the futures Mako could have even if they resulted in his death. He knew he killed all students that picked on him and made him this way. A way he didn’t want to become but the darkness snapped in him.
“Can I ask you one thing?” asked Mako while trying to make his toughest decision in his life.
“Yes, what is it?” said the voice.
“Who are you?” asked Mako wanting to know who was talking to him.
“Versions of you that have seen all of these and done all your fates forever. Time for us doesn’t excess as there no beginning or end as it flat for us. Look at what you’re doing right now, I mean take a real look at what you’re doing right now. Take in all the details as best you can. If you’re in a room reading a story and you’re on the final page, along with crying at the end. You’re always in that room reading the fine page, crying at the end” said the voice.
“Thank you and I’ve made my choice” said Mako knowing how we wants to end it.
He walks through a window to what will be his fate.
Halloween
Mako wakes up in his bed and wonders what the day will bring. A knock comes at the door and startles Mako.
“Come in” said Mako wondering who it is.
THE END
