I was on edge, while eating breakfast, telling myself that the mummy was unable to die, if she wanted to, she would have already.
My grandma was especially old because my father was her second son. Her first one died in an accident when he was already of age. She didn't want more children, but after his death, she changed her mind. Now she was really an ancient relict already. And ancient relics don't get devoured by an earth hole. When, it would be her that had devoured the earth, maybe wanting to build a new cave for herself.
I focused on something else, worries won't bring me anywhere.
A question I have asked myself was why I had seen Henry carrying myself in the parallel world, besides having revealed the black coin on the back of my hand. It should show me the 'incorrect' future of Henry, so to speak, the future of his parallel-world self.
So why had I seen him?
When his father spotted him, he was stunned because his son was 'still alive', so had Henry2 died? Was it because of this that I saw Henry's future instead of Henry2's?
It seemed like the most obvious reason. Why had my coin this sort of extra function anyway? Where did this come from?
I reached my fist out to my cellmate in front of me. He looked up and fist bumped me, and I flipped the coin, revealing it on my palm. Golden, incorrect past of my cellmate. Eyes and ears uncovered.
A massive deer stands on a hill; its legs were uneven and bony; its eyes were deep set in big holes in his head. Its snout was longer, similar to the trunk of an elephant, but not that long. It had no ears, its skull protruding, as if a big head was overdrawn with skin. Its grotesque body moved, it's snout shaking.
It gallops down the hill, through the dying trees and branches, the deep black grass, until it stops in front of a big white flower. The deer sniffs the ground with its snout, before grabbing a root with it and pulling it out. Taking the end of the root in its snout, it eats, partly sucking, partly biting the bright red flesh that is inside these roots. When it is finished, the root's bright red color turns dark, as if it withered away, while the deer's snout is full of bright red blood.
After coming back, I lowered my hand and continued to eat.
Now I know that these creepy monsters indeed eat like that, and Henrietta2's extremities were shredded because of that monster. It was already obvious, but now I had it confirmed.
When I was in that parallel world, Steven said that around two hundred people came to this landscape along with a small part of their city. And everything I saw from the past of the people in these parallel-worlds looked just like our world.
Now, when looking in the incorrect past, the parallel-world past of my cellmate, I see him as a monster. Wtf. Does that even make sense?
The deer monster was in the same world as the piece of city was, albeit this was the deer-monster's world? So there was one parallel world that crashed into a second one.
When somebody had died in the parallel-world, I just saw the future of his counterpart in this world instead, like with Henry. And my cellmate can't have died because he sits in front of me.
Is he the deer? Soul travel?
No....the time difference. But it was the past.
So if I ignore 'time' as a whole, and if there are really more than one parallel worlds, why should there be only human counterparts?
Kenny2 looks like me, but his mother has not died.
Jordan looked more muscular in the other world.
How about there was parallel world 3 where I was born as a girl? In parallel world 4, I am a hamster. In world 5, I am also one of these deer-like creatures.
"What the hell?" I have to continue to flip the coin, looking into the incorrect past of other people, to make sure.
And why am I now seeing my cellmate's past as a deer, instead of his past in some other parallel world, like with Jordan and the others? Why not his human parallel-self?
I had unknowingly finished breakfast and was brought to the white room. I looked into the incorrect guard's past and saw another deer monster, galloping through a vast dead forest from before.
Why is this happening now?
It feels ominous, as if something was wrong. Then the earthquake and earth hole, which should be the start of the end of the world, it would be too much of a coincidence otherwise. I clearly anticipate this, I clearly need this to be free again, but at the same time, I can still not believe it.
My journey into the parallel world feels like a dream, partly blurry. When I think of these memories, I see myself from a strange angle. I think I had psychologically distanced myself from my body since seeing the torso hill.
The two forests also don't look the same, the one in the parallel world was green, and the forest where I saw the deer monsters was mostly black, besides the white flowers.
I don't know anymore, I wished I could sit down with the guys and have Danny everything written out. But instead, I am here.
And I don't know how the old mummy is doing.
I am really so far away from the people outside.
