This certainly doesn't look anywhere close to my previous room. It looks a lot more, childish. Blue wallpapers, and the paintings of white clouds spanning across the right side of this room. There was no sight of any desktop or computer. The room seems.. brighter than usual. My head really hurts. Do I still have my watch on? I quickly leaned my head to my left wrist and I still had that dumb watch wrapped over my wrist. My mother looks a lot younger too. She looks more happier and hopeful towards me than she ever did back in my previous world. Weird.
"Honey, get the groceries!"
A younger, more hopeful male voice echoed over the walls of my old home. My mother, being so kind that she is, left me immediately and quickly ran down that stairs.
Finally, I have time to breathe. You know, I am beyond lost. I was literally experiencing the beginning of the third war, but then I get transported here? Is it because of that watch? Yes. If I am in the past, it has to be my watch. I can't ignore it, I have to take it off as soon as possible, before it warps me further back in time.
I quickly lifted my left wrist and pressed down on its wrap. There was a purple glow that read the number, ninety-eight. Like if the watch was counting the number of times I rewind or something. I saw these types of scenarios before. Sometimes, if the number you got reaches to zero, it sort of means that you're in for a bad experience. When it ranges to killing, warping or some sort. But,this glowing number is going backwards instead of forwards, could it possibly be, that if this counter reaches to zero, would my "magical" watch shatter? Or.. would I die?
No, I'm not taking this risk. I just have to rip this thing away from my wrist immediately. I don't want to suffer or be here. I would rather just die and go to hell, because in all honesty, that's where I belong. But, wait...
What if this watch is a time controlling one? What if my watch gave me the power to fast forward and rewind time, or possibly even stop it?! I could finally redeem myself! I could finally redeem everything! I could redeem myself and become a better person by saving the world. To repent for my slothful ways! That's perfect! I could-
"I'm sorry sweetie. It's time for your bath now little Runon!"
Bath?! Oh no, oh hell no! I am not taking a bath when I am literally an adult. That's wrong on so many levels. Especially with my mother! You know what? I should flee. I should get out of here, and run as fast as possible. Away from this memorable place.
I quickly sprinted away from my mother's compelling grasp. I could see my old hallway, glaring onto my face. However, being my dumb ass self, I quickly slipped over the polished wooden floor. I felt smaller than usual as well. Isn't that weird? I am recognized as a kid, but I have an adult mind. Seriously, what sort of dumb witchcraft is this? My life would be better if I had a man-like mind for the rest of my life to be honest. Anyways, I feel small, but the sight is still the same?
No. I must take this watch out of my wrist. I must... take this stupid thing... off, at all costs. I can't take it, I can't take my mind being lost like this. I feel like a damn child. This is a dream. This is a dream. This is a dream.
"I have to take this off."
I quickly grasped onto the wraps of the watch and tried to rip it off my wrist. Strangely a bright black goo attached over my wrist. I... I can't take it off. No matter what I do. No matter if I use a knife, or tear it to pieces... It would just attach back onto my wrist, yet again. I yelled.
"Get off. You stupid dumb ass watch!! Screw redemption, I don't want to deal with it at all!"
I can't take it off. Sparks just flew into my eyes without warning. Such a dumb and idiotic mechanic. There should be some sort of contract or something?! I don't want to deal with this. More blue sparks scatter over my face. It burns me. It.. h-hurts.
"You can't take it off."
That stupid voice. I hear it. It doesn't sound like a woman or a man. It sounds like a monster. The hell and I thought going to the past was weird as it is. If I can't take the bands off my wrist, I might as well rip the glass from it entirely! I quickly ran down the polished wooden stairs. Not even my mother from the present would even try to bare on cleaning the stairs, not at all.
"I can't take… this off. What the hell-"
And that after that moment I ripped the circular piece away from the watch itself, my life would change right before my very eyes. A blue luminance shone over my face. A bright color. The color that would match the sea, the coastal side of my country.
I could hear the ticking sounds of the clock, over and over again.
[Tick Tock.]
[Tick, Tock.]
That sound burned through my mind. A blasphemy image appeared from thin air, repeating the same thoughts of the two hands drifting to the right. The gears, and the machinery behind it all.. filled my mind. I couldn't even comprehend how this Tick pains my mind, awfully. It's like a virus.
Hell, even my fingers grew an attraction to the naked two hands of the watch. Moving back and forth repeatedly, not remaining still at all. My two fingers quickly attached onto the two hands and my vision vanished right before my eyes. The only image I could see was the clock and its hands. Moving to the right hastily.
□ □ □ □
And at that moment, I was greeted with the same white ceiling I have seen, every, single day. The same ceiling that greets my eyes, from Sunday to Saturday. Seven days a week, twenty-four seven. The same ceiling I see every single year from when I was the age of ten. But, wait a minute. What if, I can go even further back in time?
"Let's try it, I guess."
I quickly raised my wrist right in front of my face, to notice that the same two hands were pointing on the exact opposite time that I was currently in. I slowly placed my finger over the two hands that were attached on each other and quickly leaned it to the left, forcing myself to go further back in time, then I ever did. And so, after the small brief sound of a car passing by my house, my sight flashed to darkness yet again.
I could hear it. I could hear the sound of water splashing on top of my ears. It felt clean, and.. cold. It looks so smooth, but.. it feels like I can't breathe. I-I can't breathe. I can't hear anything, I can't... I can't. I'm underwater?! But, I was just in my room a few minutes ago?! I could only hear mumbles, and the sounds of bubbles entering my nostrils time and time again. I quickly lifted myself away from the pure feeling of the water to notice, right in front of me. I could see a large dark oak ship sailing to my head. I yelled.
"HEY! There's a man down here! HELP DAMN IT!"
The ship kept on steering towards me. I slowly lifted his head to see a large jet black flag swaying left to right. Oh my goodness, this is the Caribbean isn't it? Far on the west side of the world. The sky seems a lot brighter, so I definitely warped myself further back. But, just how far did I go back? Wait a minute?! Is my watch waterproof? Oh god, Oh god I don't want to be trapped in here.
I quickly kicked my legs to keep myself afloat.
"Hey Pirates! Come and pick me up before I-"
I could see the sight of a tall man, with a thick black beard laughing at my desperate self. My vision grew dark and all I could hear is the rough mumbles of my drowns.
* * * *
I couldn't hear anything. I couldn't even hear my heartbeat, nothing. Nothing at all. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't hear, I couldn't smell. All I could do is see. I slowly opened my eyes to reveal a vast void of empty darkness, with two orbs near one and another. They quickly tilted and slammed into each other and all I could see was a massive bright light and stars spreading over the vast void. I quickly bent my head to my left wrist to reveal I am at the beginning of everything. The Big Bang. I went further in time than I have ever done.
I could only see luminance, that was all.. nothing else. Just a bright white light, blinding my pupils. It hurts, to an extent. I couldn't speak at all. But, I can definitely recognize that this is the beginning of the universe, the beginning of everything. The supposed, Big Bang.
....
After that, I was greeted back to my ceiling.. yet again?
