CHAPTER FOURTEEN
What's a System and why does it want to 'delete' me?!
~
“I’m sorry that I worried you but I’ll be fine real soon
But it has been one hell of a difficult afternoon”
Twig tried to smile and comfort those who stared at him in grief
But found his face could not express a morsel of relief
Tears began to stream down his face faster and faster
He felt his life was just disaster after disaster
The meeting ended up being postponed for the evening
Twig being alive was sufficiently relieving
His family all took turns holding onto him so tight
That he thought his head might just burst but still it felt alright
He’d never been so happy to see all of their faces
And by the time morning came they had traded places
His father was the biggest crybaby of the whole lot
But if he’d cried more in the past, his wife must have forgot
The family all tried to comfort him and by midday
They’d all exhausted themselves crying half the day away

Log, your son is lucky to have a father like you
But if you don’t stop crying I don’t know what I’ll do
Maybe more intelligence will help to clear your head
If you dehydrate too much you might just end up dead

Hey there Delilah, your husband’s having a rough day
Guess it’s up to you to try and sweep despair away
Help your son get back on his feet, he has two of them

He still has a hand to hold a sword in, no problem
His mother and his father both received such status screens
They’d do there best to help him as long as they had the means
They sent his sisters home after they’d said what came to mind
And Twig assured them they could now leave their worries behind
“Twig, it’s been a strange day but we really need to know
What happened out there, and where did your status screen go”
His mother's was the sharpest sword of of all the town's fighters
And she spoke to her son like she spoke to her followers
The healer came back into the room once the crown had gone
And he could continue the quest which he was now on
"Tell me what you know about the nature of your soul
You practically came back from the dead, did fate play a role?"
Twig clear his head and rubbed the stump where his left hand should be
And looked from his parents to the healer, struggling to see
“I guess I don’t have anything to hide, but where to start
I’ll tell you what I saw after I was stabbed through the heart”
System Message
Warning, this soul entity is no longer in sync
Sharing outside knowledge could cause more harm than you think
Withhold any information you have come to learn
Current status is now impossible to discern
Twig looked for a moment in confusion at the screen
“Wait a moment, what does ‘System Message’ even mean?
Sharing outside knowledge could cause more harm than you think”
But when he said that, what he saw next made his young heart sink
System Message
Withhold knowledge of the realm which mortals shouldn’t know
If you love your family, tell them you must now go
System is unable to reintegrate your soul
But full deletion would result in far too great a hole

Dispatches from the Inter-galactic
Dispatches From The Inter-Galactic is a series of loosely related satirical stories which take place in a galaxy full of various interstellar civilizations and numerous space faring species generally described as consentients. This series is set in a galaxy which take place in a similar but not entirely unlike the galaxy in which my series Up in Space takes place While there are numerous themes related to interstellar life, several of the stories directly relate to specific themes such as; The pan-galactic ramifications to the use of supersymetrical energy sources (often drained from intera-located alternate and pocket realities.) the use of which by most interstellar civilizations is steadily increasing the overall amount of Dark Matter. This is increasing the mass of the galaxy and results in the occasional rips in inter-dimensional space as well as an overall increase in supernova activity. It is also speeding up the approach of the galaxy in Andromeda, which is of concern to several long lived civilizations; The Morphoids, a race of shape-changing consentients who are capable of using the space lanes created by the use of supersymetrical sourced energy to spread throughout the galaxy. They are currently viewed as threat number one by many space-faring species; and Xeno and exo-sexuality, as many species try to figure out what sort of enjoyment they can have with many of the species they encounter in space (only some of which are carbon-based, or more rarely, humanoid in appearance). This also relates to the altering of species to make reproduction somewhat easier for those with rather complicated lifestyles. A major force in this area of pursuit is the galactic visiteering industry, which promotes the ‘uplifting’ of more primitive planet-bound near-consentients.

Meeting myself
Canceled (This was my first attempt at a story and while I really enjoyed it, I lost track of the thread of the story. The MC was too op, and except for some fun slice of life moments it just wasn't a very good plot. Anyway, I may come back and re-write this in the future because I really enjoyed the premise, but for now don't expect updates.)I've never met Karma; or at least I think I haven't. Hope, really, because I'm pretty sure she hates me. You see, the thing is, I've always hated flying. When you don't wind up getting molested (cavity searched), then your bags get lost, or you spend the entire flight sitting next to a crying baby. This flight was even worse than any of those things. You see, this flight killed me. I won't spoil it, but lets just say, Karma owes me a few explanations. NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE, deserves to die like that. Of course, that wasn't the end of my adventure, far from it. But, you'll just have to read the story to learn about that.(This is a mature fiction, so far their hasn't been anything overtly bad (some minor sexual innuendo and drug use), but their will be plenty of blood, gore, sex, all that good stuff... eventually)
