A week has passed. I am in a better condition than before. Currently Ariel is feeding me. The cycle continues. I have recovered enough to walk but they still won’t let me do anything. It’s honestly troubling me. “What are you thinking?” (Ariel)“How long will you all look after me like this? It’s a bit embarrassing.” “No, you still can’t do any work. Your body needs to recover completely. We will not allow you to strain yourself.” (Ariel)Like that, I am always shot down. Everyone has said no to me. I have already accepted this. Besides, I would rather not get into any arguments with them.I honestly don’t have the right to do that. Like that, Ariel went to the kitchen once I was done eating.I never eat the same dish again in a while. All of them have a huge cooking repertoire. Even Shizuka has started cooking. She went to get some tips from her mother and came back with a full blown recipe book.The current members of this household are, me, Mona, Ariel, Shizuka, Ratri and Anais.

My monologue was over. I got up and was about to leave when I saw a person. He seems to be lost as he kept circling around the park.I have seen him do 8 rounds and I think I should ask if he is okay.“Excuse me, do you need any help?”I ask him while approaching him. He looks at me. His face has a blank expression. His eyes are that of a dead fish. His whole being is giving off dead energy.“Thank you for the offer but I am not lost. I simply do not have a destination. I kept walking around because I was brooding.”His answer is acceptable if I judge him to be an eccentric. “If you want to brood, I have a good place in mind.”“Really? I would love to brood over there if possible. Walking around a neighborhood park is tiring and questionable.” He gets that he was being suspicious. I take out my phone and call Ariel.Well, Ariel is the first entry in my contact list so I called her. I told her to relay the message that I would be late.“Then shall we?” “Yes.” I grab his shoulder an

Hearing Joy’s story made me grateful for my life. Mona was obsessed but not to this degree. I look at him again. He is sitting beside me, swaying his legs back and forth.The high rise building is a nice place to brood over things. But it’s getting late so I should go home. Maybe I can ask Mona about Joy too.“How about you come with me? My wife is a creator as well. Maybe she can help you.” “Thank you for your offer. Then I will be intruding upon you.” (Joy)I teleport us back to my home. “Welcome home.” (Ariel)“I’m back, Ariel. I have a guest with me.” Joy nods his head.She didn’t seem all that surprised so I guess everyone was anticipating it.We all gather in the living room. Joy is next to me at the table while everyone is across us.Mona looks a bit surprised upon seeing Joy.“Everyone, this is Joy. More specifically, a fragment of the creator known as Joy.”“Greetings everyone. In no circumstances I would have liked to meet you like this but the situation is grim. So I apo

Stepping out of my own construct feels weird. How long has it been? That question feels redundant. Time has no meaning to beings like me anymore. No creator is bound by time. To us, it’s just a byproduct of creation.I noticed it when I stepped out but my construct really is in a weird place. There’s nothing else around it. I am isolated from all other constructs.I didn’t place my construct in any particularly remote place. I guess other creators and newer generation moved elsewhere.I should go to the nearest construct to ask for directions. Because of my isolation, my senses are not working. Even creators have senses. Mine are dull so let’s ask someone who knows.The first construct I find will be my neighbor too since it’s closest to mine. I don’t expect them to know me since I am not a memorable person nor have I made any public appearances in forever.If you ask me, how far is your neighbor from you? To put into perspective, imagine I live in a single house in the woods about a
