《Infinity || Dan Smith》Fifty-Five.
Advertisement
While Dan is watching the film, Charlie on the other hand is in a difficult place. An unwanted visitor has turned up out of the blue...and she's pissed off.
Despite the unwanted visitor demanding answers, Charlie has more questions...for her mother.
"Get out!" Charlie shouts, although because of yesterday's round of chemo she's in a really rough place. She's far too weak to stand up and force Tiffany out of the room.
"Why are you in here?" Tiffany looks around the private hospital room. She's trying to see if she can spot any reason as to why her daughter is in this place. But there's nothing, other than a temporary baby cradle...but with no baby inside of it.
She begins to panic.
"Oh god...Where's the baby?" Tiffany for the past few months has got a private investigator to follow her daughter around. She claims to have done out of 'love', or so she told the PI.
"She's safe." — Charlie snaps while her mother sighs, feeling relieved that nothing bad has happened to her granddaughter — "Why don't you tell me why the fuck you're here?" Charlie hold's her ground...whilst laying in her bed.
"When I saw you in the shop...I saw how happy you was. That you out of all people was expecting...and I mean that in a good way. You're a much better mother than I ever was." Charlie purses her lips together tightly. She isn't falling for her mother's bait.
But she'll take complete moments from her any day of the week, despite her festering hate she has towards her.
"I really want to be involved in your lives, but that is only if you let me try. I'm not the person you think I am. I killed the monster side of me me with sleeping pills, she's as good as gone."

"It's too late." Charlie laughs. She only laughs because it's just as painful as crying.
"It's never too late to reunite, my dear..." Tiffany softly says with a smile in her voice, but watery eyes.
"I'm dying." Charlie admits, but with a smile. She's not scared of death either. All her life she's been wanting to be with her dad...so because of her not responding to her treatment it's looking to be that way.
"No..." Tiffany tears up while looking at her daughter.
"I got told an hour ago that they're going to be stopping my chemo in two more sessions time if I don't progress. They're saying that it's spreading...not stopping." it's the real reason why Charlie didn't want Dan with her, she knew about her appointment and kept it from him.
She doesn't want him to worry, although Dan will always worry about her. Cancer or not.
"You...no..." Tiff is chocked up for words.
"Life is shit. But at least I'll go in peace knowing that my boyfriend is the world's best father to our little girl. I just have to find him a new girlfriend first, which is going to take some time...which isn't something in my side..." Tiff shakes her head in disbelief.
"Stop being selfish!" — the words stumble of out Charlie's mother's mouth — "You do not know whether it'll work or not! Live in the moment! You're a mother now, think about your daughter...your boyfriend. They need you to fight this thing, as so do I." Charlie shakes her head looking at her mother.
"I'm tired...and this thing has only just started. What you see is what you get. Your dying daughter who hates you." Charlie then leans her head back on the pillow and closes her eyes.

"You can call me selfish, but we both know at my funeral you're going to call me every sweet and sickly thing that your twisted mind can come up with. I know you think like that because when Aubrey gets pissed off with me she says I'm exactly like you. And I hate it. But I know it's the truth. The only difference between us is that I still have my dignity...and I listen to my boyfriends problems. You never talked to dad, you fucking hated him."
"I had every single right to hate that mad bastard. He was going to take you away from me!"
"Shame he fucking hanged himself instead!" Charlie snaps back while she then gets teary.
But she doesn't stop there. No. Her newfound anger has only just got started. "I wish he never died so I would've had a better up bringing. You're a terrible person and I'll never forgive you for putting me through so much shit!"
"You say you listen to your boyfriends problems" — Tiffany completely changes the topic — "so did you know that his underage ex-girlfriend was pregnant?"
Charlie, who is in shock by a serious allegation against Dan, nods her head even though she never knew the girl was underage...or pregnant. Dan said that she was 'young' but she thought early twenties...not mid-to-late teens.
"So you knew about that...and you seriously stayed with him?!" Charlie nods her head while she feels herself crying. She thought Dan was her best friend, that they shared all of their secrets...but a baby with an underage girl...it feels too messed up to be even remotely true.
There's in a bitter silence while her mother points towards the door. "Whether you like me or not...I'm going to visit you. I've changed Aubrey's emergency contact number to mine. I'm not letting you go, now or never. You're my baby." Charlie, who's fighting back the tears mumbles 'fuck off' in protest while Tiffany walks out of the dim glowing hospital room.
As soon as the door clicks shut Charlie bursts out crying. The saddest and loneliest cries.

Returning to No Applause, Only More of the Same
Kreig was summoned to the other world 130 years ago, the last 30 of which were spent in a constant, vengeful war against any army that would attempt to subjugate him. Once he returned, he found out that only 10 years had passed. He was given the title of War of the North but he never even knew about it. After all, nobody could get close enough to tell it to him. But that all changes one day when a portal opens, allowing Kreig and a small band of soldiers to enter one of many portals that leads to Earth. As it turns out these portals have been opening ever since he was summoned, giving the people of Earth abilities that the world he was summoned to only used to have. But now... now, he has returned. Longing for his former life of peace and understanding, he allows authorities to capture him on the spot, only to be faced with deeply personal questions, such as "who are you?" "what have you been doing for the past 10 years?" and "why is your level so high?" -------- ...Have you ever read a story where the main guy who got isekai'd returns to Earth. Say, for example, FFF-class trashhero or the necromancer of Seoul station? Say, what if the authorities actually became aware what kind of monster had returned to Earth? What if they actually tried to use them for something? Kreig's been in the other world for 130 years, has experienced three great wars, and he isn't okay. Mentally speaking, that is. He's been imprisoned, gained and lost comrades, been betrayed... The whole lot. By now, all he wants is to put it all behind him, something the world doesn't seem to want to let him. (Irregular updates, mostly written for fun, no strong planning)

The Abyssal Dungeon
The world of Vol, a huge, bountiful plane where the only constant is life, in its many, many forms. One such form is a dungeon core, a peculiar little gemstone, and the focus of our attention. Watch as this otherwise unremarkable gem awakens in one of the most resplendant places in Vol, an aptly named Mana Reef, and how it turns its simple hole in the ocean floor into something truly unique, all while the rest of the world is forced to deal with its growth. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is my first venture into writing for fun, and I'm hoping to keep this running until I run out of juice. With that said, I very much enjoy dungeon core novels, and wanted to do one a bit outside the norm. Hope you enjoy! If you want to come stop by the discord, I know we'd all be more than happy to welcome you! https://discord.gg/pcR5g5XX8h
