AUTHOR'S NOTE?: INTERMISSION (9-22-2016)

A young Asian man looks around in the void as fog envelopes him preventing him from seeing anything.

"Hello?" he asks tentatively.

"Who are you?" I ask walking out from the fog towards him startling him a bit.

"I… I cannot remember," he replied looking very confused.

"Ah… Memory loss?"

The young man shrugged, "I'm not sure… I guess?"

I frown a bit realizing the situation.

"I do not think that was supposed to happen… I think…"

"What do you mean by that? Who are you?"

"Me?" I reply. "Well… I am Kal Kir. Pleasure to meet you. As for the memory loss, it was not actually planned. However, when I thought about it as time went by I thought it was a brilliant thing."

"Brilliant?"

"Well… at first it was," I stated. "All I remember is if I made this guy lose his memory, then I would create some suspense. What will happen to you? You, the main character getting your mind wiped! It is like a clean slate! I can start where ever I want to!"

"How does that benefit me?" he shouted.

I pondered for a moment on that.

"At the moment, probably not much. I mean you did have a pretty decent life with an awesome job and a pretty hot babe."

"What?" he asked looking dumbfounded. "What happened then? Did I hit my head and lost my memory or something?"

I chuckle at him, "Let's go with the 'or something.'"

"So… What is going on? I don't feel like I am missing something."

"Oh, you definitely are!" I answered. "In fact, you should currently be… Hm…"

I stood there for a moment thinking for a bit leaving an awkward silence between the two of us.

"Yes?" he pressed.

"I cannot really remember. I think you were supposed to be doing something else for a while… but I only remember that I kept changing things up a bit. I just do not remember what I was planning on actually doing."

He looked at me, disbelief in his eyes.

"Wait a moment," he said as he rubbed his brow. "You mean to say that you did not continue on with the story yet and kept changing what is going to happen to me?"

"Um… yes?" I replied.

"Why can't you just write something and just post it so that I can at least live my life?" He shouted. "Is it that hard to say that I get my memory back and finally live happily ever after?"

"Actually, that is supposed to be more to the end not in this coming chapter," I replied in all seriousness. "Worst case, end of this chapter."

"Worst case?" he spluttered.

"Yes!" I replied brightly. "I am just stuck with what you are doing after chapter 5."

"You can't me serious!" he cried.

"No," I replied. "I am not Sirius. In fact, Sirius died a few years back in your timeline."

"Who?"

"Sirius Black? The mass murderer? Godfather of the… right… American and Asian to boot. Never mind," I waved a dismissive hand at him to disregard that.

"So, back to the topic. When will I be getting my life back?" he asked.

"When I can get back to it with a solid idea of where you will be." I answered. "Also, when I stopped being absorbed into other people's FanFics as well."

"Wait… so you abandoned me for other people's works?"

"Whoa there! No I did not! And abandon is a strong word." I denied vehemently. "No! I cannot think about it so I have been rereading a few which I have enjoyed before."

"Which ones?" he asked.

"Well four actually," I answered. "Mainly stories from HERMIT532, The Harem War by Radaslab, and Metamorphose by salus gem."

"But those are like 250k+ stories each! That would take you forever!"

"Yes. However, if I cannot decide what to do with you specifically, then why bother to write something and ruin it?" I ask.

"I guess you have a point there," he grumbled. "So, you at least have an idea?"

"I know that you will either be in Glasgow or Edinburgh. As to what you will be doing there, I am still trying to work on. The last one did not work out to well."

"What was the last one?"

"Well, you were working at a retail clothing store and you had to finish filling out some orders of school uniforms."

"That does not sound too bad."

"The entire wardrobe for several schools with an understaffed team."

He glared at me and I raised my hand trying to show him I mean no harm.

"Hey, bright side is I am trying to scrap that and make it a bit more interesting than that. The story will eventually go the way it is supposed to go," I stated.

He sighed looking a bit defeated as he looked away from me and looked at the foggy background. After a few moments of silence and him thinking for a moment he turned to me once more.

"When will the next update be then?"

"I will be frank," I replied. "I will set it as a 'To Be Determined' for now. I will definitely have it up and posted. I just need to finalize and actually decide what happens to you. So far, all the choices and how the drafts came out were very unsatisfactory. I aim to try and improve that."

He nods in understanding.

"Well, you better get on with the story soon. And try not to be too immersed with the other FanFics. I really do not mind if there are not many who are interested in my story, I personally would like my story to be finished soon. Also, I think the ones who are following this story would be interested to know what is actually going on."

"I promise to do so."

"Thanks, Kal Kir."

"No worries."

We both stood around for a moment in awkward silence.

"By the way," he started. "You did not remember my name did you?"

I shifted uncomfortably a bit, "Oh, look! I better get going!"

I rush off into the fog leaving him behind.

"Hey! Get back here!"

He watched as I disappeared and with a sigh looked around once more to see what he could do to pass the time until Kal Kir starts getting things on the move.
