    Summary

    Iterators, godlike in comparison to most creatures. They were simply made to be more than anything else that came before them in most ways. However, they still are living creatures caught in the cycles of their world. And, crucially, they are still people. As people, they break and suffer and lie and love. As people, they live and die… they still question.

    Fivepebbles spent an excruciating amount of time sitting in his own dying body, waiting for the end as he lost more and more. In that time where he was both living and dead, he began to question.

    Was he doomed to end this way form the start. But he ends up gasping against the feeling of it all returning to him and realizes he’s been sent back in time. He keeps his condition from going public and vows to change a few things- but can anything truly change his fate? Or is he genuinely that doomed by the narrative?

    Aka- My take on the “Pebbles goes back in time/cycles” concept. Planned out about a year ago but rewritten (and/or written for the first time for at least half the chapters) but I decided it’s time to at least start sharing it. This will explore Pebbles as a character, fate, endings, relationships and change- hopefully for the better.

    Summary

    (So I lay there waiting for him to hate me.)

    Five Pebbles was comfortable in his fate. Was it grim, and tragic? Yes. Was it all that he deserved? Also yes.

    So why did everyone else insist on trying to drag him away from the life he had finally accepted?

    No Significant Harassment is tired of Five Pebbles' excuses. Whether he likes it or not, the other will face all that he left behind.

    No longer will they ignore the problem and hope it gets better.

    Summary

    Pretending to be sick for attention? Yeah, Pebbles is selfish enough to do that. He’s an awful person after all.

    …An awful person who just happens to actually get sick.
