《The Bartender at the End of the Universe》Ch 297: A True Reunion Never Comes

Will let out a contented sigh as he leaned over and picked up his jacket. His button up shirt had been undone on the top two buttons, and his tie was loosened almost completely.
"Have fun?" The smiling man asked as he stood near the human.
"Haha!" Will laughed heartily. "You know me. I just enjoy the quality time with you guys."
Gzemnid grinned as she floated overhead of Will. "Hopefully this will tide you over for some time. I mean, two events so close together? Quite a rare treat."
"I mean, I'd prefer consistency over a burst of time, but I'll take any time with you guys. You know?" Will explained.
"Yes. Yes." The smiling man nodded. "You've made yourself quite clear. But, our time here has run short."
"Our time has run short?" Stoor asked. "What is it, a midget!"
The giant worm didn't even pause before he started to wheeze out a raspy laugh.
"Dude, chill it with that," Adargon said as he wiped the sweat from his brow. "You know that's offensive or whatever. You're supposed to say little person."
"What?" Stoor scoffed. "Since when?"
"It's been ages. A lot of people have been up in arms about it for a while," Adargon continued. "And reasonable people have changed words because it's the polite thing to do."
"Harumph," Stoor scoffed. "Preposterous. You can't just change language like that!"
"Come on man, that happens all the time." Adargon said.
"He's quite right, you know." Gzemnid agreed. "Most insults were not originally meant to be that way. Culture just changed the word into a derogatory term."
Will had a genuine smile on as his friends argued over the meaning of words. A hand settled on his shoulder and he looked up to see the smiling man with a big grin right beside him.

"Savor this memory little ant." The smiling man asked. "Things are changing, and it's about time we made our ways home."
"I suppose if we have to." Will sighed. "But, we could always just go do something else after this? Maybe head out for some food, or something?"
"Come on man," Adargon said as he shook his head. "You know how bust we are."
"Right...of course," Will sighed.
"We will meet again." The smiling man assured him. "After all, not even death could stop us reuniting this last time."
Black smoke surrounded the smiling man first, and then the others became engulfed in similar smoke. As the smoke began to fade away, each of them were suddenly gone completely. With no trace of them left behind.
Just the karaoke machine sat behind waiting for the next performer to pick a song.

Sanctuary
Hello readers! My name is Shannon and I'll be writing and editing Sanctuary week-by-week. The book is roughed in with fifteen chapters. I don't have a posting strategy but will try to publish a chapter per week as they are finished. Please follow, like, and leave comments and thoughts for the story as it develops. Thanks for reading, I know there are a lot of stories out there so I appreciate your literary time and attention! Book Summary: Adelia is a Moirai, don’t call her a fairy. She doesn’t like that. Born from the emotion embedded in abandoned places, the Moirai are bound to their sanctuaries. Rarely seen by humans, they keep to the abandoned places and travel through doors. But to a seer like Jeremy, their world is open. He just doesn’t know it yet. When he stumbles into Kenneth’s Cabin in the middle of a storm, Adelia seizes her chance to use his sight to save her friends, herself, and maybe the human world, too. Little does she know, her past may not be what she thinks it is, and her journey to escape the enchanted gold coins she’s bound to may unlock deep secrets only her ancient master knows.
