Darcy K Metz

"Ya, what do ya want old man?"
"I know all about you and what you'll become."
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
"You're going down a bad path and I don't want to be on the end of it no more."
"Old man, I've got no idea what in the hell you're talking about."
"You've got so much potential if you apply yourself boy. It has to change this time."
"Look, you're obviously senile or something. Now get the fuck out of my face before I make you regret it."
"Do you know how many times I remember uttering that threat to me."
"Again, you've lost me asshole!"
"I've escaped the loop. Now I've come to break it."
"Ya, I think you're loopy all right!"
"Don't you get it? Use your head! Apply yourself! Stop this crime nonsense so we can have a new reality!"
"We? Okay, what the fuck are ya talking about?"
"I am you, you are me. I've been here countless times before, observing. Now everything can go on, continue anew."
"Uh-huh! No more cosmic loop right? What if I shoot you dead?"
"Then I'll be here again differently."
"So if I change my path, the universe continues everlasting?"
"Now you get it!"
"I sure do!" - BANG!

READER'S REVIEWS (5)
DISCLAIMER: STORYMANIA DOES NOT PROVIDE AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWS. ALL REVIEWS ARE PROVIDED BY NON-ASSOCIATED VISITORS, REGARDLESS OF THE WAY THEY CALL THEMSELVES.
"Dammit, man! You had such a cool idea and you limited it to a half-page colloquy which was as ambiguous as it was pointless. With such a plot, you could do great things, so try rewriting it." -- Tyrant.
"I agree somewhat with tyrant, the story had a great premise and could have been better. Although I still found it entertaining and any intelligent person could figure out what was happening, not at all ambiguous if you ask me." -- Screef.
"A very good idea. Could do without the cursing, it takes away from the story line and is distracting to most readers. It also makes the author look like their vocabulary is quite limited. Even though I understood what happened, it would be a much better story if expanded upon. " -- Jenine Boisits, Shirly, Ny, USA.
"Short and sweet....leaves me wanting more" -- Katrina, PG, BC, Canada.
"Hey, it isn't that bad. But let's be honest, it was a bit confusing at the end. I got it, since I read stories a lot, but other people that haven't...How would they react??" -- Bernay.
