An Answer in a Question
Jeff Burton commented on Jeff Burton's story chapter in An Answer in a Question
That is true, no Elijah is living and breathing. He's just quiet. To him this whole thing isn't about him, it's about Simon so he just blends in the background always watching. But yeah he's also got secrets. -

We don't. For all we know Elijah is just a figment of Simon's imagination lol. -

For Simon the real challenges begin. -
It was the beeping that woke me. Not loud. Not urgent. Just steady. Mechanical. Like a metronome counting off the seconds of a life I wasn’t sure I wanted back. My mouth tasted like rust and cotton. My eyes burned before they even opened. Every inch of me ached…from the inside out. White ceiling. Soft light. Needles in my arm. A Hospital. Fuck. I blinked a few more times, trying to orient myself. My head felt like it was filled with sludge. My limbs were heavy, we

This is another in the collection of works that are quick reads and funny as hell. I always look forward to these when they pop up.

This definitely awakened something inside me that probably should have stayed asleep. Friggen funny as hell though. And let's be real, the real app is even more soul sucking than the literary one in this story lol.
-
That is a serious piece of intuition. It actually made time stop for me for just a moment when I read it. Huh, I'm going to need to think about that one.
-
Elijah does have motivation and the signs of it will start showing. The second part of this I'm not saying anything till the end. No spoilers, period.
-
This is seriously good and done with a spin that I certainly wouldn't have thought of.
-
A bit of a dork. If he was anymore of a dork he'd be Lord Dorkus of Dorkton Abby. It was sheer luck he ran into Stoker, could you imagine if Lord Dorkus ran into someone from his own class? All that education and religious guilt would spin itself into a cycle that spun so tight and so fast it would literally spawn a new dynamic timeline. The British Aristocrats were truly in a class of their own definitely worth the study by time travelers with watches taking careful notes like they were admiring zoo animals lol. I didn't know what to make of this when I started reading but I'm glad I did, this story is heaps of fun.
-
Stoker doesn't have all that "Education" that Hugo has that will complicate things. If he still had his shotgun he could just hit him over the head with it and it'd be a done deal, I mean thats what we country folk do innit? 😂 Okay so the rules, yeah time is short it looks like I was wondering what would happen to items not on you and now I know, and so do they. Hugo will sit around and worry about losing things while Stoker just takes whatever wherever he finds it. This is going to be good lol.
-
This is how you end up sliding through the multiverse, you just want one thing but it's so big you never find it.
-
Thankfully my brain understands what's going on for the most part. There is a subtleness to how this works and of course the rules and what not. This tale certainly expands the realms of what a good story can be, and my scifi side is twitching so thats good. Academic versus the farm folk, my what an interesting journey lol.
-
Yeah Elijah is a warrior all right, you're going to see more of that going forward. Elijah the silent demon slayer of yore.
-
I seriously wanna hit you with my keyboard. "banged out a random bit of something" When I say that it usually means I have pieces of a Chapter. But when YOU say that you have TWENTY-THREE CHAPTERS?! Boy I outta.... You friggen kill me Topher. I'll have more feedback when I get into it lmao.
-
Yeah. Even the dark ones need representation. I'm one of 'em so I may as well be one of the ones to do it I guess.

Elijah is really something else. And you'll get his motivations later on.
-
Yup, that's what I was going for lol.
-
I know. This wasn't easy for me to write at all. Even harder for me to continue. It does get better starting with the next Chapter. Each one a calculated step towards a resolution. I can't count the number of times I've come completely apart just working on this. Once it's done though I'll be in a better place., and hopefully so will Simon.

I wish I could say that night had been a wake-up call. I wish I could tell you that waking up on a sidewalk surrounded by sirens and flashing lights had jolted something in me, had flipped a switch, made me crawl to redemption with bloody knees and shaking hands like they do in the movies. But no. It wasn’t a turning point. It was just another fucking day in a line of fucked up days. The week that followed bled together in a haze of liquor and loathing. I ignored every call.

Uh-huh. And if my grandmother had wheels she'd be a wagon.

I wasn't going to say that Andrew was going to get it in "more than one way" when he got home, but thanks for reading into it @chris191070 😂
-
it's no secret. It's Andrew Carter. International super-spy. Who is definitely going to get it from his other half when he gets home lol.

You have no idea how much I needed that especially with this particular story. It’s been sitting here unpublished for a while. I wasn’t sure if I should let this one be read. It’s a hard read, but everything I write is a piece of me, each is a shard of my vulnerability. And some, like this one is a memory that hurts to be remembered. All I can do is write the words and hope there are people that’ll read them, no matter how much the words hurt.
-
You are welcome! My writing seems to have that effect on people sometimes. You know to let them be seen and have some kind of representation in some form or another.
