5.0

“It does pay to have loving fans, even in ancient Greece…”—Page 8%

The Cosmere fandom would totally buy you out of slavery, Brandon.

This is very odd story.

So, someone is sending Stephen these old photos. So there’s some kind of time traveler. It’s probably Hoid. Yeah, yeah this doesn’t take place in the Cosmere universe but I won’t put it pass Hoid.

Armando is my favorite so far.

“‘Outside your gates.’ The phone clicked.”—21%

Interesting.

Monica? *Doki Doki Literature Club theme starts playing* *eye twitches*

Thank god there’s no time travel, those always make my brain hurt.

“‘These are from a camera,’ Monica said, leaning forward, ‘that takes pictures of the past.’”—25%

That is fucking awesome.

*raises an eyebrow* Sandra?

Oh they used their time traveling camera to find Sandra.

Stephen vs. Light Yagami, who would win?

“‘No, that one. The God Delusion.
‘Richard Dawkins?’ I said, flipping through it.
‘A leading atheist,’”—35%

*raises an eyebrow* Where you going with this?

Stephen just has these conversations with his aspects while leaving people who are actually there to sit in confusion. Also is it possible that the aspects are actually ghosts? Did you Google of them?

“‘Jerusalem,’ he said softly, resting his fingers on a book. ‘He’s gone to Jerusalem.’”—39%

Duh, he wants to prove the existence of God.

“‘Who’s Stan?’ Monica asked.
‘An astronaut that Tobias hears, supposedly orbiting the world in a satellite.’ I turned a page. ‘Stan is mostly harmless. He gives us weather forecasts, that sort of thing.’”—42%

…Odd.

“I chuckled. ‘No. Stan’s not real.’
‘I thought you said none of them were.’
‘Well, true. They’re my hallucinations. But Stan is something special. Only Tobias hears them. Tobias is a schizophrenic.’
She blinked in surprise. ‘Your hallucination…’
‘Yes?’
‘Your hallucination has hallucinations.’
‘Yes.’”—42%

Brandon is having way too much fun.

“You create these delusions so that you can foist things off on them. Your brilliance which you find a burden. Your responsibility—they have to drag you along and make you help people. This lets you pretend, Mister Leeds. Pretend that you are normal. But that’s the real delusion.”—Monica, 49%

Shit, son.

Ivy is super cute.

“‘Hey, Skinny,’ he said to me, ‘I think I’m missing a million dollars, but I don’t know why, or have any clue as to how I might have earned it. But I’m really sure I’m missing it. So, if you could something about that…’”—59%

I love J.C.

“J.C. and Ivy hastily broke apart from their kissing.”—67%

Is now really the time? Also, one of them is going to die.

This device is terrifying.

Wait, his hallucinations are tied and gagged?

“‘[Monica] is not to be trusted,’ [Razon] said.”—82%

Why?

Aw, Razon is dead and the camera has been destroyed.

It’s the flash and Stephen isn’t telling Monica.
