Here it is!

The Finale to the Glitch Series!

...Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not nor will I ever own any of characters depicted below that you may recognize...they belong to forces high then me, and I respect them and applaud them for their beautiful creations.

The definition of Glitch is simple and straight to the point: It is a malfunction or defect in a machine or plan.

My name is Charlotte Dylan Eden Kirk, and I'm more than a little familiar with the concept of Glitches…

Because I AM one.

There are a lot of faces reading this going…WHAAAA?

Yep. I'm a glitch. I am a defect in the plan, a malfunction…I AM A GHOST.

Okay, not that last one.

I mean, I kind of was when I first showed up, because I didn't exist, but since then (nearly five years ago) I've made a name for myself...or more accurately, I've made a LIFE for myself.

I am a glitch who showed up in a dimension that was altogether unprepared for my arrival. I wasn't in the script…any of them.

I popped up in a universe full of faces and names that I was familiar with and more than fond of…but the characters I loved in theory became living breathing human beings with attitudes and personalities; and not always good ones.

Some people I grew more than fond of; theory became reality and I liked some and cared about many, tolerated a few…and even fell in love with one.

I am a defect.

And as a defect; I had a choice. I could've moped about and bemoaned the malfunction that was ME; I could've hid in the shadows, and helped from the darkness, channeling my inner batman, or I could've allowed myself to wallow in solitude and fade from the world that I was never supposed to be a part of in the first place.

I could've.

But I didn't.

Enter wonky face here.

My name is Charlotte Dylan Eden Kirk, and to quote Uncle Ben, with great power comes great responsibility.

To quote the OTHER most influential person in my life as well; When life gets weird, (and it will) shrug, then go with it.

…Thanks Mom.

Out of all my wonderful options; I picked plan I; INTERFERE.

I crash-landed in a world that wasn't prepared for me, and rather than sit back and play spectator, I pulled up my pants and pulled out my megaphone….

And I learned a few things along the way.

I learned that omniscience doesn't mean I can change everything. It doesn't even mean I can change ANYTHING.

I learned that with knowledge comes responsibility and the wisdom to use that knowledge correctly.

I learned that my ability to change things only goes so far as those in the starring roles and THEIR ability to accept that change.

And once I grasped those things…that's when the world changing REALLY began.

And change the world I did.

It boggles the mind to think that I almost went with Plan A.

I can't imagine what would've happened then…I don't even want to try.

I was born Charlotte Dylan Eden Kirk and I carved out a place for myself using a spoon and my bare hands…in a world that had no room for me.

And to be honest?

Being a glitch is one of the best things that has ever happened to me.

I've never been happier.

…So of course that's when everything really went to crap.

Welcome to the worst 48 hours of my life.

Welcome to….my Terrible Horrible, No Good, Very Bad, Day.

So there's your intro. Chapter Two up in a second. (Is "this is the end" from AVPSY playing in anyone else's head?)
