《The Cellphone Swap》Chapter 9

That's when I thought of it. I had the perfect plan, and o wouldn't let him down.
I was driving in the passenger seat of my moms car watching the cars roll by. And suddenly I thought of it. The perfect plan. I would take Matthew to the Colorado mountains. He loves it there and was always talking about going back. I would take him there and he would be happy. It could be like old times.
I was going to go meet Matt at a new cafe that opened up down the street. He always liked to try new things, that wasn't me though. I stepped through the door and found him immediately. Like always, a table by the window. I walk and sit down.
"Hey." He says.
"Got your bags?"
"Of course."
He leans over and kisses me. I smile and we both order chi tea lattes. We head to the car and I drive, all the way to Colorado.
We've got the windows down and the music blaring in the background. We're at a traffic light. That's when he looks over at me and says,
"I love you."
"I love you too."
There's tears in his eyes. "There's something I need to tell you, before I die."
"No no no! Do not speak like that. Your going to make it."
"Bridg- I want you to know that I love you. I've always loved you. And your going to meet a nice guy, who will always treat you right-." Tears roll down his cheeks as he chokes on the words. He's full out crying now, and I don't know what to do. "And you guys are going to love each other. You guys will have four kids, two boys and two girls. And you'll live in Michigan in a two story house. And one of the daughters is going to find her true love, and he'll be right next door but so far away that it hurts. You know why? Because that's how you know Love is real." I'm crying too now and he leans over and wipes them away. Beep beep. Cars honk their horns. I look back at him one more time and drive towards Colorado.

We finally get to the hotel. When it's dark outside. We carry our luggage in and fall on top of the bed.
"How are you tired?" Matt says.
"I literally drove for however long it too is to get here!" I yell into the pillow.
"Let's watch the sun rise." Matthew says crawling over to me. "We could watch it from the mountains. Oh we could make a little picnic out of it. Wine, cheese, burgers."
I laugh and elbow him playfully.
"And then we could go skinny dipping in the snow."
This makes me laugh more and I snort into the pillow.
"Or just watch the sunrise." I say turning over on my side.
"Whatever." He shrugs.
"Okay, come on!" I say grabbing his hand and running down to the elevator.
I run out and find a chair. We sit down and cuddle and watch the sun rise and the moon set. It's funny how you can look at things. It's just a sun rising and a moon setting but I looked deeper into that. I guess when ever something dies a new thing is born. It's the circle of life. Something has to die for another thing to live. I look over at Matthew as he watches the sun. We go back to the cabin and write down everything we plan to do.

Apollyon's Curse
Within the pages of folklore and fantasy, tales of people who chase after the dream of eternity, of living forever, rarely find a happy ending. They are either struck by the grim truth of reality, give up, and return to mortality or face a ghastly realization of their wishes. The latter often the worse fate, as they come to realize, only far too late, that what they sacrificed was worth far more than the time they gained. Ultimately, the common thread in these stories is that “immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing”. People either realize it early and give up or are doomed to inevitably face its consequences. In the world Enrich lives in, that saying does hold merit. Every pathway towards eternal life has shackles of its own. They bring those high above down to the ground, evening the playing field. It is thanks to these fundamental laws that ambitious mortals are able to defy the heavens and achieve immortality themselves. The variety of methods result in each of these bindings varying in intensity and degree of freedom. Enrich’s path doesn't break this trend. Though, after what he did to himself, most wouldn’t even consider him a living thing anymore. On the day of his ascension, a world’s worth of souls were melted and recast. On that day, the human’s path had reached its conclusion, recast into Apollyon. An artifact, a weapon, is eternal, after all. As for the curse? The payment will be made, as it must. So why not offload the curse to someone else? Mortals throw their lives away for all manner of petty reasons, noble or otherwise, especially in desperation. Eventually, someone will be willing to foot the bill. Most will if given the chance. The bait is far too tempting, after all. Power, status, knowledge. All at their fingertips. If only they say “yes”. And Apollyon is very willing to help any lost souls. If they give up everything in return, of course.
