Things are starting to happen, the present is colliding headlong with the ever-approaching future and not to mention the past can not stop preventing the inevitable...
Where there's a little Chris, there's a big Chris not far behind ;-)
Slightly longer chapter and maybe Ch. 3 will be up sooner!
Ambiguity sucks, but just go with it, the point's revealed in the end
Note: Does any of this make sense? Thought so. Just read. And thanks for the reviews...they motivated me...really they did!
Chapter 2
"You are known to me,"
"But I never came here before today, what do you mean?"
"If your name is Chris Halliwell, I know I am very not mistaken,"
"Of what? How do you know me and why are you looking at me like that?"
"You will not be the person I had chanced to meet many years past, but I believe there is an echo. Quiet, yet still there."
"Am I supposed understand what you're saying at all? I'm only 10 years old and I'm not that interested in my future anyway at the moment, so..."
"If you can not maintain the mission's thus far adequate progress, a fulfilled life will elude you, and history will most likely repeat itself."
"I don't get it,"
"Death will become of you."
Chris took a sharp breath and quickly rose from his chair and backed away from the fortune teller, not ready to take in his possible foretold fate and not to mention he could barely comprehend the enormity of the mission she was alluding to.
"I'm...uh leaving now...bye then," He said in a rush.
As he was about to leave, an out-of-place monkey crash-landed on his face and bothered his eyes.
"The monkey! Watch out! No, no, no, this is not right, not right at all," The fortune teller shook her head, disappointed in herself for not foreseeing this event sooner.
For the Crone had struck.
