Skjöldr's Scary Stories: "The Man in the Book": Difference between revisions

"Hello Antonio. Nice to finally meet you in the flesh, as they say." He spoke like a normal man.

 

 

"You called me The Man in the Book, in your head that is. My name is George."

"Don't try to make me feel guilty about it, Antonio. I've been trying to trick people into doing that for nearly three thousand years and you're the first person who was stupid enough to fall for it. Then again I got tricked into doing the same thing myself, so, what's the saying? About removing the stick in your eye before telling someone else about theirs?"

 

 

"Ah sure. Anyway, we have ourselves a predicament here Antonio. You just destroyed the Book of the Dead, which means right now there's a lot of people out there not dying when they should be. You know what we have to do right?"

When he could finally open his eyes again, Antonio found himself sitting at a stone desk cut from the cave around him. A shaft of red light filtered in from high above. Antonio became aware that he was writing with an old quill pen in his hand. He was writing names in the book. These were all the deaths in the world as they happened. He was writing them and someone else had to read them. He knew that. Antonio wondered about his Facebook page. What would happen when all of his fans noticed he was missing? Then it dawned on him: The algorithm. It was going to continue reposting other people's videos forever, or until someone shut it off. That could take months. Years. Nobody would know he was gone, that he was here acting as someone else's algorithm. Forever reposting the losses of the mortal realm; A place that he barely knew, and would soon easily forget. Checkmate.
