Chapter 2 - Part 2: HOW IS THIS HAPPENING?

The man desperately crouches where he is. His eyes are almost wide open and focused on one place. The grass:

-- HOW IS THIS HAPPENING!

As he blinks, the grass changes color, he blinks again, and the grassy soil visibly turns into a barren wasteland:

-- This can't be real. Can the clock still be inside me?

The man stood up and walked towards his house. The door and the house had changed again. The door was pink and had a soft appearance. He put the key in the hole and opened the door. He went inside and was heading for the living room when he suddenly stopped. There was something that shouldn't be in the living room. There was a woman in the living room. After a few seconds of glances between the two, the woman made the first move:

-- WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE!? I WILL CALL THE POLICE IF YOU DON'T GET OUT OF HERE!

Although the man was trying to comprehend the situation and at the same time trying to calm her down, she blinked her eyes and turned into a strange creature whose body was covered with fire. And he had to leave the house before she could respond, "This is actually my house."

-- Why is there a woman in my house?

The man blinks again, turns around and looks at his house. The woman is looking at him, a creature wearing an angry mask on her face. When the man sees her strangely frightening face, he reflexively takes a reflexive step back in fear and turns to face the road and runs fast without even looking back:

-- This is not real, no, this can't be. This is all just a nightmare. I got rid of the watch, it's just a simple nightmare. It's not supposed to be this fast. This can't be happening this fast. IT SHOULDN'T BE!

The man keeps running in the opposite direction, stumbling left and right and bumping into people around him. He has nowhere to go, no home, he doesn't even know if he knows anyone. All he can do, in this ever-rotating world.

...is run.

As he runs, he bumps into a little girl and causes the candy in her hand to fall. Without thinking, the girl throws her head up with all her might and starts to cry. Although Adam says "I'm sorry" and tries to turn around and continue running, he makes a mistake. And he blinks his eyes. When he realizes he can't run, he turns around and looks at the girl. The girl has become an angry and disgusting giant, 3 meters tall:

-- YoU rUiNeD mY DinNeR. NoW DiE..

The giant girl clenches her fist and swings it at the man's face. Realizing that the fist will hit his face, the man quickly closes his eyes. He waits for a while to die and slowly opens his eyes when nothing happens. The girl is about his height. But she is still crying and at the same time all the buildings have become giant. As soon as he realizes that this is an opportunity, he starts running again and keeps tripping and falling and falling again. It's an unbelievable and sad despair that seems irrecoverable. Finally, he finds a gap between two alleys and settles down next to a garbage can that looks almost overflowing. He sits down and closes his eyes in pain and waits:

-- This wasn't supposed to happen. I was supposed to get rid of the watch. But instead everything got worse. The watch was randomly ruining my life. It was doing all kinds of things to ruin my life. But now every second of my life is ruined. I have nowhere to live anymore, everything and everyone is constantly changing. It's impossible to know what's going to happen when. There is nothing I can do but wait to die. It seems safe here, but if I wait here, I could starve to death. I know that when a person starves, he weakens in an hour, so even if he is in pain, I can die and escape. This torment is more painful than starving to death.

-- Is it? Then I'll help you, my friend.

He opened his eyes at the sound of a high-pitched voice he didn't recognize, and was met by a mouth so foul and stinking that it made him vomit, like the mouths of monsters, every one of them rotten. He jumped up and down, screaming. The man with the disgusting mouth closed his mouth and looked up at him with a smiling face. His face was very bad. He had a smell that made you want to run away from him, one pupil down and one pupil up, and under his eyes, which looked like he hadn't slept in a week, there were layers and layers of skin underneath, and underneath there were cancerous, hairy pieces of skin that he couldn't even figure out what they were:

-- What kind of creature are you?

The guy didn't wipe the smile off his face as if he wasn't surprised at all:

-- I love this reaction of living things. My name is Akibigemor. You seemed to be new around here, so I decided to come and join you for a nice chat.

-- Conversation?

-- Yeah, weren't you talking to that guy?

The man turns his head to the wall and notices a one-eyed rat under the wall, disemboweled and rotting. He looks around and realizes that all the people around him have one eye:

-- How come you have two eyes. And why do you look like that?

He asks without any fear or shame. After all, for someone who already wants to die, the possibility of receiving a fatal wound is like a reward:

-- I was born this way. Nobody understands that. Anyway, I want to help you realize your beautiful dream.

-- Dream?

-- Yes, a dream. Didn't you say you wanted to starve to death?

-- It wasn't a dream.

-- I've only seen two people who wanted to die so badly. My mom and Ceki Cendi. That guy was a real head case.

Instinctively sensing that being with this guy would cause him to experience something completely bad, Adam turns around and prepares to leave, blinking his eyes again as he does so. Again, all the buildings, roads, shapes, colors, tones, forms change. People with their ears in their mouths and their eyes in their noses and their noses in their eyes. It was quite disturbing, frankly. But you had to adapt. After all, the goal was to get rid of it all by dying. Just as he was about to run, Akibigemor cut him off. Although all the people had changed from head to toe, Akibigemor's face had not changed much. Only the disgusting squint in his eyes was reversed:

-- How can you be like this, everyone's eyes and mouths are upside down, but you're almost unharmed.

-- Well, I don't quite understand what you're saying. This is the way I am. Isn't that how I looked when I was talking to you before and I told you that I was born with my face backwards.

He was actually born with double eyes the size of one eye and he was ostracized by the people because of his ugly face and personality. He was so ugly that in the other dimension he was born with his face upside down and this caused him to be ostracized by the people. Realizing this, the man blinked again out of curiosity. This was a good opportunity to adapt to the curse. As much as you want to die, until then you have to stop the curse from causing you more pain. When he blinked, the people around him changed into stick-like bodies with feet two meters long, as if they were going to break. The man, whose body changed with them, grew taller like them and looked ahead. But Akibigemor was gone. He was at his feet. His legs stretched forward as if they had been broken, and his face was the same as before. It was clear that he had been born with his legs broken backwards and that he was again without attributes. He blinked again and again and again and again and again. Each time, with only minor changes, the disgusting adjective remained almost identical. Finally accepting the situation, the man raised his hand in a pitiful tone and moved into a handshake position:

-- I am Kaim. You can call me that.

Kaim tried to sympathize with Akibigemor, but he couldn't. In high school, when he was a teenager, his face was full of pimples. Too many pimples to be natural. Every time she popped a pimple, a few pimples would pop out from underneath. Everyone at school avoided him just because of that. He considered himself the ugliest man in the world at the time. But this guy - this guy was something else entirely. It was as if all the ugliness was thrust upon him to balance the beauty in the universe, as if the poor guy was condemned to live with the same ugly face in all alternate universes and dimensions. An unbearable ugliness that could never change no matter what. One couldn't help feeling pity for the poor guy:

-- Okay. Now I'll take you to my house. There is no food there, so you will like living there.

Akibigemor was determined to make Kaim's thoughts of starving to death come true.

Kaim, who already had nowhere to go, had to accept as if he had nothing to do:

-- All right. Let's have a look.
