Chapter 37: A Family Name Without the Family
Author: Ice Penguin 2020-08-21 08:21:53
Fantasy was comfortable and a way to escape the dread of everyday life. It was easier to think you were strong and powerful, than admitting that you were weak. It was so much easier to pretend that you were some sort of lone wolf warrior than a weak man, bruised and broken after so many failed ventures, trying to uselessly appease your own bruised and broken ego all the while.
That's the truth, isn't it.
Life is hard, and its painful to face that suffering head on. You need to b

The Boy who Circled Time November Chapter 223: The Sheet Tides
Emmet, in the throes of the days that ran past him, shifting about with nothing happening, was only sure of several constants.First, he loved Jasper and knew now that he had done one of the worst things imaginable to the man.He shouldn't have tried to isolate him.He shouldn't have obsessed over all the communications in and out of the facility and he shouldn't have tried to exploit the man, using his mind and memories as a gateway to pull Emmet out of his own world, not at all caring for how Jasper felt about their relationship and understanding, that as the technical owner of the time machine, Jasper was entitled to use the device as he saw fit and that Emmet had no other choice but to accept whatever Jasper chose to do.He was not entitled to knowledge of the future.He was not entitled to a fantastical adventure with the time traveller.He was not entitled to the knowledge that Jasper brought with him.And now that he knew that,
The Boy who Circled Time November Chapter 222: Seizures to Sleep
Lila was tired.She was very, very tired.Emmet was put in one of the guest rooms that had been given to her, in the flat above the cafe that she was now living in, and where she would now live for the rest of her life.It was strange, living in a place just as silent no matter if there was one or two people living there.She hadn't been particularly planning to burst into tears or to have ended up blowing up in that deplorable man's face, but at the same time, she couldn't exactly say that it wasn't to her own benefit.He deserved the pain that he was currently suffering and if there was any other way for him to finally learn from his mistakes, then she would probably use that method.It was a shame then that there was only one, pre - determined timeline then, depriving the man of any other kind of learning.She knew that he hated her with a passion and would much rather leave her to die bleeding out in a ditch than actually help her
The Boy who Circled Time November Chapter 221: Calming the Waves
Green_One had watched his siblings go through their periods of sadness, anxiety, and fear, and knew how to comfort them as they temporarily isolated themselves, as they screamed out in anger and shame, and how they had burst into tears, sobbing into his work shirts and creating stains that would barely be dry by the time he was able to finish consolling them, bringing them to school, and then making his way to work.He was far too used to consolling all the others around him, holding his mother close until the final moments where he was forced to leave the room as the doctors injected her with the necessary coktail to end her suffering, once and for all, easing his own as well to see her finally smile for the first time in months, on her deathbed, no longer pained by each breath she took and the weakness of each and every single one of her joints and muscles.Green_One had been the one to raise both of his siblings, and he had witnessed them grow from wide eyed idealis
The Boy who Circled Time November Chapter 220: At the Tables
The two of them had separated when the others had arrived and they were now to work on their pieces.Gretel had moved back to Green_One's table, back to where she had first sat, and the two of them continued on in a slightly awkward silence that had been present back before when they had first begun working together, back when they both had arrived here on their first day.The only real difference was that they were no longer speaking to each other, or were particularly willing to speak to each other.Gretel knew that she was being a coward by not saying anything. She knew that she could be muttering on about her own sheets that she was now working on, asking Green_One questions about his own work, something new and but still extremely maths heavy as the page was covered in equations from beginning to end, but at the same time, something inside of her hesitated.She swallowed down nothing, her throat dry and a headache on the verge of forming.Woul
The Boy who Circled Time November Chapter 219: Holding Each Other Close
Gretel kept up her grip around Green_One, continuing to stand there and hug him as he didn't respond to her, his arms still at his side as she continued to whisper apologies into his chest and hold onto him.After a while, after a period of time that felt to Gretel as if simultaneously too long and yet not quite long enough, a loose pair of arms came up to wrap around her as well.Both of them stood together, within the grey light, for a long, long time, holding each other close and nearby.When the hour was over and when all the others came, Gretel knew that she was to separate from him, walk back to the tables, pick up her pencil and then begin working once more on the time machine that was blatantly immoral to create."Thank you, thank you, thank you," Gretel whispered to Green_One."I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Gretel whispered to him."Thank you, I'm sorry, Thank you, I'm sorry," she continued on whispering to him.He had lo
The Boy who Circled Time November Chapter 218: I'm Sorry
Gretel looked up at Green_One and immediately wanted to look away again.She wanted to retreat back to her little corner where she could go back to pretending to be alone, hoping that she would be forgotten by the world around her and she would finally be free.She hated that Yuki was technically right.She hated that Yuki had been able to so thoroughly dissect her ideology and her strategy, before flipping it on its head.She hated how Yuki had so thoroughly been able to destroy the reasoning and all the shields that Gretel had managed to put up to justify what she had been doing and for obliterating whatever sentiments that Gretel was taking actions for the greater good.

The Boy who Circled Time September Chapter 63: Should I Lie
"Why the fuck wouldn't you lead with that?!" Emmet exploded at Lila, shaken all at once with worry, guilt, relief and pain.There was a turbulent storm of emotions running through his body, waves of anger rising up above and out of himself, lashing out into the world, threatening to crash
The Boy who Circled Time September Chapter 62: Nobody
The ceiling above Emmet was a light cream colour, almost too different from the greys that he had grown too accustomed too. The walls were also the same light cream, with golden sunlight pouring through white curtains, which danced and waved on the wind.He felt as if he had he had been ru
The Boy who Circled Time September Chapter 61: I Watched Somebody Die in my Living Room
Emmet ducked down as quickly as he could, as soon as he whispered out his final apology, the bullet just grazing his shoulder as he fell and moved to hit the big, red button on the time machine.All around him, the world shifted and changed. He saw himself disintegrate, molecule by molecul
The Boy who Circled Time September Chapter 60: One Bullet
The time machine sat in Emmet's lap, as if it had all right to be there, sitting innocuously and innocently, digging into his broken leg with a sharp, jagged edge.The outer casing looked as if it had suffered various burns on it, with dents littered over the who machine, with one corner p
