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 molecule - his body, clothes, and the time machine itself turning into dust - until his vision also dissipated, leaving Emmer unable to see.
And soon, he was left unable to think, all his thoughts scattering into oblivion and nothingness.
He saw nothing.
He felt nothing.
He was nothing.
For a brief moment, it was as if Emmet didn't even exist. That he was dead.
There was nothing.
Nothing.
Void.
Suddenly Emmet found that, once more, he existed.
That he was alive.
It felt like he had been abruptly been woken up fro

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 run over by a train, and couldn't remember anything that had happened to put him in his current state. He couldn't move any of his limbs either, and found himself almost giddy at the idea of it, being tied down to a bed.A different part of him thought that maybe it wasn't the right time or place to be thinking about things like that, and it hurt every single time that he moved one of his arms.Emmet closed his eyes and waited for the world to stop spinning. He didn't want to think about anything right now. He just didn't want to be in pain, but... that would mean thinking about where he was to solve the problem.He opened his eyes again, and looked up at the cream coloure
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 and break everything around him.He wanted those thunderous waves to break everything around him. He wanted lightning to crash down around him and set everything ablaze. He wanted Lila to be dragged underwater and be dragged around, against her will, through the gigantic whirlpool of hate and uncertainty, struggling to keep going and keeping her head above water.In that moment, he hated Lila for playing with his emotions. He hated her for stringing him along and making him worry, for forcing even more worry on him. He hated her lack of emotions, her callousness towards Jasper and his life. He hated her for keeping Jasper from him, and he also hated Jasper, just a little bit.
The Boy who Circled Time September Chapter 64: Names
Emmet startled for a second.Was he brought here on purpose? What for?He heard his handcuffs rattle against the bedframe and winced as he shuffled without thinking, trying to pull himself further up the bed."How do you know who I am?" Emmet decided to ask instead of the obvious bait that Lila was laying out for him.It wouldn't be best if he simpl did everything that she wanted while under duress, even if she did hold all the cards and Emmet owed her a lot at the current moment. He needed to avoid setting a precedent where he would just play into her hands over and over again. It was his only way forward right now, and he was glad that soon, anyway, he would be healed enough to leave, even if he did require crutches for quite a bit longer as well as a sling on his arm."I know everything about you because it's very easy to get practically anything and everything out of your Jasper," she snared back, her face remaining unchanging even if her voice
The Boy who Circled Time September Chapter 65: The Monologues
"I know your Jasper, because one day he threw himself off a cliff, into a valley, near my house.I was playing with insects down there, near the bottom, and I saw him fall out of the sky. He had a leg cast full of technology which included syringes to inject painkillers, medicine, and increased healing factors into him, all monitoring his nerve stimulations remotely to inject those chemicals where needed and for what amount.He claimed, to me and me alone, that he was a time traveller, and he had come here in a time machine, from the future where he had unwittingly created a monster, and had unleashed it upon the world. He cried a lot about what he had done, and he regretted his actions so much that sometimes it felt as if he was drowning the entire room with them.One day, when he thought that he was ready, Jasper left in his time machine, to somewhere back in the future. He wanted to be punished for his actions, and because nobody was going to give that to him
The Boy who Circled Time September Chapter 66: Hate
“I kind of hate you, you know that.”Those were the first words of Lila when she arrived later, after 6 PM with another tray balanced on her arm.Emmet had been sat bored out of his mind, stomach growling at the lack of food and throat dry. His head immediately snapped up to look at her, and he was fairly confident that despite her words, she honestly did care for him on some level.Not many of his muscles were atrophied and he retained full motion of his left arm, albeit painfully, after rolling it around in its socket, after sitting up of course. His left leg was also fully functional, as well as the joint, on his right leg, connecting the limb to his torso.It also came to Emmet’s attention that he had a catheter. He was no particularly interested in learning how it was going to be removed at the moment, deciding to put that little tid-bit firmly to the side for now.He did not want to think
The Boy who Circled Time 13458 September Chapter 67: Alone in the Dark
"Nighty, Nighty," Emmet's mother used to call out to him, stroking his hair as he laid his head down on her lap, finding comfort in her warmth, finding solace in the quiet."Pyjama, Pyjama," Aunt Minnie called back from where she slept at the side, all three of them laid down on Emmet's mother's double bed.Emmet never understood how Aunt Minnie managed to sleep on her back with her arms crossed, her body completely still save for her shallow, repetitive breaths, forming the beat which his mother's hands followed as she continued to run her fingers through his hair.He had been attempting to grow his hair out, wanting long locks, just like his mother and aunt.He wanted to fit in with them more. He wanted to look more like them, and less like his father. He wanted to show his mother more support. He wanted to show his mother how similar they looked.Emmet had fallen asleep in his mother's lap that night, the sun sinking down against the clear sky t

Emmet wasn't sure when he woke up, finding himself still in the morning handcuffed to his bed and finding Lila sitting across from him, eating her own breakfast as if Emmet didn't even matter.He blinked once and managed to get her attention with that one, minute movement.She blinked back at him in reply and saw that she was wearing the same uniform as she had done before, and the same fuzzy slippers as she did before.She sat with a book open, balanced against the sides of Emmet's legs, reading whatever was on those pages as she ate her breakfast from a bowl.Cornflakes and milk.Of all things, stupid cornflakes and milk.Emmet expressed his negative opinion over her dietary choices by simply repeating back his mental spew that consisted of nothing but repititions of what she ate."Cornflakes and milk," he intoned to her, his face exasperated and aggravated.Lila remained silent, not saying a single word or pausing in her con
The Boy who Circled Time 15743 September Chapter 69: Theories on the Universe
Emmet sat there alone in the room for hours, waiting for Lila to return back for more food.He had sat alone in the silence, after she had left, doing nothing for a while.Without his constant work and then his scheming to keep Jasper safe, Emmet had dimly realised that his time with Lila had to be the first long stretch of a part of his life, in a long, long while, that he had been free to allow his mind to go blank.The thought had been pondered on briefly, celebrated for even less, before being summarily dismissed.Lila had taken advantage of it as well.Emmet had asked her a question and she had successfully managed to evade it and leave.Worse still, he was completely at her mercy here.If he ever wanted to find Jasper, then Emmet would need to plan out everything that he needed to do.He needed to keep his head above water and remain calm and steady, throughout everything that was going to happen.He couldn't let L
