Chapter 60 - 60. Future
Palm, black, correct future of Ethan Hendricks. Eyes and ears uncovered.
A man with glasses holds a black orb in his hands, which shines strangely. He is in the middle of a wasteland, garbage all around him. In the sky are neither sun nor moon, neither day nor night. The world consists of nothing but garbage.
"I had ant to ask you before... Are you in a romantic relationship with the vice-chief?" He asks a man that stands across from him, who has his hair is cut short; tattoos over his arms up to his neck, and with his hands in his pockets, he stands there lazily, snapping his head to him after hearing these words, grinning.
"Have I just heard you calling
gay, you fucker?" His red eyes shine with excitent, the excitent to kill.
"I would never dare to. Chief." The man with the glasses crushes the dark orb in his hands and bows his head deeply.
Coming back, I gripped his hand and continued to flip the coin, but neither when revealing it at the back of my hand, nor on my palm, would it turn black again. Just useless gold, with was of the past.
A heavy blow struck my head.
"HAVE YOU LOST IT COMPLETELY? STOP THAT INDECENT BEHAVIOR THIS INSTANT!" My grandmother screeched with all her might, her walking stick coming down on
again.
Letting go of Ethan's hand, who looked at
strangely, I felt my nose bleed strongly, my vision blurring. That was....a faraway future. Really far.
I t my grandmother's eyes in confusion, the blood from my nose not dripping but flowing. Black dots appeared in my sight, only seeing her eyes changing.
"GET A DOCTOR NOW!"
I fell to the floor, and my body started to tremble. I think I have overused my ability. I think I saw sothing I shouldn't have seen. I think it is true.
The motherfucker was right.
The world was going to end.

"IF HE DIES, I WILL BURY EVERY ONE OF YOU WITH HIM!"
"Madam, you really have to leave..."
"SOLIDARITY CONFINENT WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY TO LEAVE THE ROOM? NO WONDER HE BREAKS DOWN! YOU WILL ALL DIE, I WILL KILL YOU!"
".... He injured his fellow prisoners heavily...."
"WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE? GIVE
EVIDENCE! DO YOU THINK MY HUSBAND DIED OF A HEART-ATTACK? IT WAS
WHO CURSED HIM!" Her voice lowered threateningly.
".... Ma'am please..."
"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT? DO YOUR JOB! DO YOU WANT
TO CURSE YOU?"
"You hag..." I mumbled in a daze, while the evil spirit didn't even hear .
"YOU WANT TO DRAG AN OLD LADY OUT? MY BONES ARE OUT OF GLASS! TOUCH
ONCE AND YOU WILL STAY INSIDE HERE YOURSELF!!!"
"GRANDMA!" I yelled, having the headache of my life.
Opening my eyes, I saw four guards surrounding the mummy, who was apparently going berserk. There was one single strand of her hair that stood away; otherwise, she was still flawless. But her walking stick was raised threateningly. The doctor and needle-nurse were beside , helpless.
My grandmother's foggy eyes looked at
for a bit, as she caught her breath, before snorting.
"You wimp. Just a bit of nosebleed, and you break down like a little girl. You are nothing more than an embarrassnt to ." Turning, she grabbed the arm of a guard and pointed at the exit. She was escorted away, and this farce ended.
I laughed before I rembered the most important and yelled after her,
"GO AND BUY A BUNKER; THE WORLD IS GONNA END!"
I just heard her cursing
from outside the corridor, making
unsure if she was too dentia-ridden to understand a simple sentence. It wasn't like she would die; it was clear that she was invincible herself, or she wouldn't have made it this far.
Everyone in the room stared at , and I waved at them with a smile. Seeing them lower their heads, I was left satisfied.
The doctor finally got himself together and ca to check my eyes, looking at my overall state. The mont he touched , I flipped the coin.
When the guards ca to bring
back, I did so as well; no skin-to-skin contact was needed; when they grabbed my arms inside the prison uniform, it was enough for .
The coin never turned black again, the future hiding itself. And simultaneously, I felt my strength waning rapidly.
Not so overpowered, hm?
But overpowered enough. Enough to see myself in what I would guess is a few years from now. Overpowered enough that I could tell that the world was going to end. Overpowered enough to see myself not only being free from prison, but also being the 'Chief' of whatever.
The tattoos looked really cool. What concerns
is the gay factor, though my older self denied it; however, I could still not say if the future was fixed or if I could change it.
At the end of the day, nothing of this was important; only the world coming to an end was. I was still not in a state where I wished for humanity to die. One Henry and one Henrietta were enough.
But there was not a thing I could do. Apocalypse or not, new parallel worlds that crashed with ours or not, new monsters or not, who would ask a convicted murderer?
And even if I got to convince soone high standing outside, with flipping the coin and proving my ability, what could they do? What could anybody do?
What exactly would even happen?
I will just have to try to get new information, flipping the coin every ti I have the chance to.
However. I am giddy; I am excited. The part of
that had snapped, had been defad, and had been thrown into prison couldn't wait to see the future my nesis had spoken of.
The future where I would beco a chief and have currently 'free' people like this attorney guy bow to .
Ah, this new red-eyed
just can't wait to see what surprises there are waiting for .
