The next and maybe last chapter for this section of the story arc. Well this section of the story arc anyway. Depends on what my future self, and his diminishing morality for this story decides. I can't believe anyone is actually bothering to read this. How many of you hate me? I feel like one of you hates me for no reason. That is not important though. What is important is that someone might enjoy this story. I really appreciate that you random people value my story enough to read it. That means a lot to me. All I want is to entertain people and make them happy. If I can do that writing this story then I am more than happy to do so. Enough mushy gushy stuff though. This chapter I know its going to get real. My heart just shifted in my chest. I thought I nulled my emotions more than that. I'm still human and alive though, and I can't change that. Thank you for reading, and lets finish this story soon.
P.S. An asteric represents an action taking place in the story the text will be Italicized.
"Now that the recording is finished I feel much better. Not really though, so where did I leave that knife? Need to slit a vein for the machine to be able to activate the machine." "Dylan I'm sure Ian is just fine. He probably is just being reclusive, and being a little anti-social since Laura vanished." "Mother I know you're the most hopeful of all us here, but I looked into his history. It was before the wedding to make sure that Laura would be safe. Just so happens she likely would have been keeping him safe from himself instead." "Dylan dear what do you mean by that?" "He has a very fucked up mental record. I mean fucked up really badly. He was in a mental asylum fighting his own sanity for months. He was infamous for being able to find ways to commit suicide in any room they put him in." "What about straight jackets and those foam padded rooms? How could he deal with those." "I don't want to mention the gruesome horrid ways he planned attempts within those circumstances, and some were really sad. I have to go check on him." "Well if you insist, and it does sound like it may be a good idea."
"Hahaha oh my that is funny. My knife is a little too large to cut my vein without shredding my arteries in the process! *Laughs hysterically* What a shame that is. I'll just have to look upstairs for a cooking knife real quick then." "Damn it Ian if I find you dead on the floor in there." *Cellphone rings* "What mom? Wait Laura is alive!? You got a call from a hospital saying she is at a cemetery where? Ok well I have to go tell Ian then this instant!" "Oh what a lovely small knife I've chosen for this depressing deed. *Glances outside seeing Dylan's car* Oh for fucks sake! Now that I'm about to complete this shit now they come to check on me?! Well fuck I better hurry up then." *Leaves a pre-written note on the counter running into the basement* "Ian where are you? I have some news you'll want to hear! *sees the note on the counter* Well if you are reading this then you might be too late to stop me from doing what I need to do. Soon I'll be with Laura even if I have to die! Signed Ian. Come on Ian! *Sees the basement door ajar* You are not getting away with this shit that easily." "Shit I here him upstairs. *Slits wrist slowly letting blood trickle into a pan* That hurts like hell. *grabs a remote and handgun* That still hurts like a bitch. Well before he gets here *sits down* I got to choose between my two options here." "Ian! You're alive. Now come on I got something to tell" "Oh shut the fuck up will you! Don't tell me its going to be okay I don't want to hear it! You see the gun in my hand here? I've made my choice and I'm sticking to it!" *gunfire echoes throughout the room*
Well that's a sad ending isn't it. Kind of vague but why not. I'm kidding! You thought I would end it like that?! As if I would. The tragic death by suicide has been done enough times! Please keep reading!
"Ian... wait what the fuck!" "Ha you though I was going to shoot myself! Oh that's rich right there! The guns filled with blanks! Silly Dylan oh so silly and innocent you are." "Of course you wouldn't end your life that way. I saw your mental records you thought of something more clever?" "Yes I drank poison and I'll day in 10 seconds and self-destruct. Of course I thought of a more innovative way to die! Not that though that's just stupid. This remote is linked to that machine. That machine will disintegrate me into atoms, and store me. That machine will search for Laura, or her remains. If it can't find them it will search until the end of the Earth. In which case I'll die with the planet. Ciao Dylan lovely knowing you! *Presses button* Oh damn disintegration hurts like a bitch! I did not think that through! Fuck it hurts! OW OW OW! Good-bye Dyl..." "Ian Laura is alive... I wanted to tell you she was alive. Wait the machine is searching for her. He was determined to find her no matter what... he really loves her. *Calls mother* Mom I'm going to get Laura." *The room shakes as the machine breaks through the roof flying through the air into the distance* "Ian I'll make sure you're okay once I find home again. Like I did when my mother adopted me, and I just got to find her again." *Laura sees Dylan driving up to her* "Laura Ian has done some crazy shit, and is determined hell or high water to find you. You need to come with me this instant so we can find him." "Wait who were you? Oh yes Dylan. Of course I'll come with you to find him. *Laura hops in* Where is he then?" "Disintegrated in some sort of flying machine that is searching for your DNA or something. I saw the direction it headed off in, and I happened to bring along my radar I got from one of my military friends a few years back, so we could scan the skies for it."
"This machine has its benefits. The fact that time goes 100 faster in here is not one of them. Still I knew that technological engineering degree would pay off in someway. Now I have potentially countless years to ponder new technologies for human civilization as I drift in this state of stasis. I'll go insane before the end of the week in this thing. I miss you Laura." "Laura I found the machine on the radar. He's in the next town, and we need to find him." "Well why are we waiting here then? Lets go hunt down my husband!" "I wonder if I'll really have to wait till Earth is destroyed to be released from this thing. If its from something like slow radiation poisoning I'll find a better way to die. I always wondered what it was like to gargle on your own blood when you slit your throat. Hahaha only my thoughts, and I have potentially eons to be with them. Maybe I'll just deactivate the thing, and jump off a cliff or something." "Laura can you tell me what happened on that wedding day when you disappeared?" "Dylan it's a long story we don't have time for right now. The radar you have says we're close, and only a few miles at that." "You know what I'll shut off my damn contraption, and go see what Dylan wanted to tell me. I got nothing to live for so what do I have to lose now? Just got to land this thing and have it rematerialize me. There the process should begin shortly."
"Laura the machine is not showing up on the radar anymore." "Dylan it landed in the forest outside this town. I'll go check on him, and see what happened." "Oh how fitting a nice cliff not too far from here. I can go out the way I never wanted to. Falling from a great height. Just got to get ready to die." "Ian I missed you so much!" *Glomps him promptly* "... Laura you're alive? You are alive in front of me right now? I am not insane you are in front of me right now right?" "You thought I would let you die on me!? No way was I letting you commit suicide over me! Don't ever do something like that again you understand me!" "Yes Laura I understand. Sorry about the whole... you know. I just missed you so much I could not comprehend living another day." "Shut up okay. You got a lot to hear from me about what happened while I was gone, and you need to be quiet for it, so come on lets go back home." *Ian gets up smiling* "You know Laura *stumbles* I'll always *falls to the ground* love you." "Ian wake up. Ian! Ian!?"
Well that is that. What you thought I would end it happy and sappy? No I could never do that. This concludes this section of the story arc! I think I'll delve into the characters dark backstories. I'll also make another story to continue this one. I can't end the story so vague! Well I need to think of more interesting plotlines to follow for part 2 A not so happy sequel! Well thank you for reading. Do you hate me for ending it so abruptly? I don't hate myself anymore than I already do for it. I already have a plot line for the sequel vaguely formed. Thank you for reading this story. Love you guys!
P.S. Yes the machine thing was a little ridiculous, but this is not our reality so physics is like a piece of rubber. Plus Ian always studied and pondered new technologies. He had many other insane machines worked out completely in that basement. Hearts and other affectionate things dear readers!
P.P.S. I won't be home for a few days to post anything. So I'll just have to wait to write for you guys... damn. I was hoping I could get something more written for you guys. Happy hunting for more fan fiction you like!
