Beep…Beep…Beep…Beep…
The phone kept beeping its quiet message to the world, kept trying to tell its owner that there was a message waiting for them, someone trying to talk? Share feelings? Argue?
As Artemis had gone out of the window with holly his mobile phone, still in is pocket, had not gone to Hybras with them all, it had been caught up in the time stream. Somehow, and Artemis would have liked to study it intensely if he had but known, it was picking up everything. Not just text messages but feelings, speeches, and letters. All the random, disjointed text throughout time, the letters you burn before you send them, the drafts that don make the final cut. Who can say who they belong to? Who can say what they mean? Who can say if they are even real?
…Hi again! Its me, I hope you get this message, the post office has been a little bit slow recently but I hope they don't mess up on this one, CONGRATULATIONS!!! A bouncing baby boy! I just wanted to tell you I never hated you for your choice, I hope you two get on wonderfully. Please write back, I don't want you to think I'm sulking or anything but this is the first time I could send a letter…
…Please pick up the phone! He's coming up the stairs! For Gods sake pick up the ph…
…And so if elected I will try to bring an end to this war; I will bring the soldiers home! I will unite out nation and make it great once more!...
…Hi, I'm just writing to reserve places at your restaurant, yes actually I'm proposing, why thank you very much, I hope so too, yes, okay, bye…
… hi Artemis, I don't know if this message will even reach you, my recycle bin is full of messages I couldn't send, who knows, maybe this one will reach you! Look I can't think of any other way to break this but… well… there was always something special about us, don't you think? The first human and fairy to save the world God knows how many times. As a team. I don't know about you but I need to know. Would you do it all again? Even the bad bits? And would you, will you go further?...
