Chapter 1
I watch the surrounding world with unease waiting for the next thing to pass. My routine was messed up last week when Jonas stopped coming to our meeting spot.
We agreed to meet one last time and stuff, but now I don’t know where to go. With Jonas not coming, it could mean Fate had finally won. Fate is cruel, well, it would be his own fault. Jonas and I were famous in our world for messing with Fate.
Well, I do know what I could do, but I have a hidden joy about messing with Fate. I must say this fiber that I’m in, the time traveler that I am seems to be the right choice. My ancestors who were all Fatest (pronounced FATE-ehst) guys traveling across time portals, would approve of my choice to follow in their premade path. Then again, I do enjoy teasing Fate in stretching her to the limits of her best patience. Jonas would always tell me I’m crazy, he plays things safe hoping to one day leave without being scared by Fate. However, I love the adrenaline rush of having to race to be somewhere a second before it would be too late. I just decided to follow their path I guess when I was young and my dad was still jumping across time.
There are fatal consequences, ha see what I did there? Anyways, if a fatest can’t be on time, no pun intended, then the time takes them away. Well, Fate takes them away. You see, you’re not supposed to mess with Fate. You’re supposed to go through your life and allow her to lead your path. I’m not good for following or being led. My dad taught me to tease with Fate. He also died leaving a deadly warning to all fatests, me included.
I’m sure some of you are wondering about God. He’s there. Fate sure proves it. No one is sure how Fate came to be, whether a fallen angel, a special angel on assignment or a being that God made. No one knows. We know God is real and He’s watching.
My favorite memory of my dad was a week before he died. After we went to a movie in Berlin, it was an old black and white, you know the ones without sound. We had jumped into a purple mass of a portal, I froze. My Dad shoved me and I got a jump off the electricity and adrenaline. I landed on my dad at the other side of the portal because I was supposed to be sleeping. My dad was next to me, when I peeked up at him, he winked. I fake sleep next to him when my mother checks on us. She’s always checking to see how I’m doing. She never approved of the fatest life. She was not going to get it today.
I’ll be thinking about this, my mom and my dad, as I go to my next meeting. An old friend had a problem with Fate, and being I’ve met her, he wants help paying his debt off.
