The Time Eater: Difference between revisions

I woke up. Was it all a dream? I looked into the mirror to find that I looked around the age of 21! I was furious that I had fallen for the trap again but I needed to find a way to avoid it. I repeated the same process as I had the day before and found myself thrown back in my bed again. I looked fairly similar to before with the exception of a few gray hairs. I assume this is due to the fact that I was already fully grown. I repeated the process as the day before except this time I had a plan. I came across the figure again and just as he pulled out his pocket watch I closed my eyes. To my surprise the plan worked. "What do you want?" I asked the figure. Suddenly the place became darker and I heard a grotesque figure tell me, "You can open your eyes now." I opened them knowing that I could always try again if he was lying. Luckily he was not. He looked at me. "I feed off of youthfulness, off of the energy of others." He told me. "Each day you repeat I drain more energy out of you giving the illusion of aging." I was baffled by this. "Is there any way to get it back?" I asked. "Yes there is, but that would be my death." He answered. He pointed toward the rips and tears in his suit. "This glowing stuff, that's the energy I store, this is you." He said. "Ever wonder why you barely have no childhood memories? I've been doing this since you were 6 which in real time would've only been about a month ago." He told me. I was stunned and didn't know what to think of this situation. I reacted on impulse and lunged at him with my pocket knife. He dodged it, grabbed me, and flashed the pocket watch in my face.
