I showed up in a terrible place.

The walls and floor were all organic.

There were veins in the walls, and everything was red.

The entire room was... pulsating.

The floor was coated in a pool of blood.

ADAM: W-Where the hell am I?!

I heard an awful noise from the ceiling.

I looked up and saw a body... getting squeezed through the ceiling, slowly sliding down into the room.

The body fell to the floor.

I looked at it and saw...

Me.

ADAM: Ah!

The body... I... stood up.

I... talked to... me.

ADAM: Adam... what are you doing here?

ADAM: I-I, what?!

ADAM: This isn't where you belong, Adam.

ADAM: This isn't your story...

ADAM: What?!

ADAM: Adam...

ADAM: Do you know who I am...?

ADAM: You're... me...?

ADAM: Oh, Adam...

ADAM: It's nice, you know...

ADAM: Uh, what is?

ADAM: That... unbridled stupidity.

ADAM: You could call me... Desolation, Adam.

ADAM: Uh... I...!

I looked at the device I was holding.

ADAM: What, you don't like me...?

ADAM: You're not leaving anytime soon, Adam.

Suddenly, a portion of the floor unfurled and snatched the device out of my hands.

All I could do was watch as it disappeared into the floor.

ADAM: P-Please don't hurt me...

ADAM: Oh, I wouldn't hurt you, Adam.

ADAM: I wouldn't want to risk it.

ADAM: It's nice, existing again, after all this time.

ADAM: I've forgotten what it feels like.

ADAM: Although...

ADAM: It appears I don't have much time left anyway.

I looked for any way to escape.

There wasn't one.

ADAM: I'm sorry, Adam, but my time is up.

ADAM: Huh?

ADAM: As much as I would love to continue this conversation, it seems I still have more sins to atone for.

ADAM: Goodbye.

I started sinking into the floor.

The bits of meat felt like hundreds of hands pulling my body down.

I became fully submerged.

I could feel blood filling my lungs.

Eventually, I fell out into another room.

I got up and saw someone.

ERIC: What the hell?

ERIC: Who are you?

ADAM: I, uh...

ADAM: Did you see some sort of device, uh, fall here?

ERIC: I see.

ERIC: This is another trick, isn't it?

ERIC: I'm not giving it to you, you bean!

ADAM: ...? What?

ERIC: Whatever, I'm out of here.

He started sinking.

Before I could do anything, he was gone.

ADAM: ...

Suddenly, someone else appeared in front of me.

He spoke.

JOSH: Sorry about that.

ADAM: Huh?

JOSH: That was me. A long time ago now.

JOSH: Here, this is yours.

He handed me the device.

JOSH: Hey, what's your name?

ADAM: It's, uh, Adam.

JOSH: Adam.

JOSH: Adam.

ADAM: Yes...?

JOSH: You have fascinated me for so, so long.

ADAM: Umm...?

JOSH: I think...

JOSH: That you are me.

ADAM: Huh...?

JOSH: You're from the future, correct?

ADAM: Uh, yeah.

JOSH: Listen...

ADAM: ...

JOSH: ...

ADAM: I...

ADAM: What...

ADAM: What the fuck are you talking about?!

JOSH: Huh...?

ADAM: The bean man?

ADAM: Lord of Blood?

ADAM: Passing on who controls the narrative???

JOSH: Er, yeah?

ADAM: Dude, I don't give a shit about whatever made up story you're telling me!

ADAM: We aren't characters in some story you're writing, you lunatic!

JOSH: I know, that's what's so interesting about you!

JOSH: I didn't write you, Adam!

JOSH: And neither did-

ADAM: Shut up!!!

ADAM: Nobody wrote me or you.

ADAM: Just leave me out of your delusions, all right?!

I was done here.

JOSH: No, Adam, don't!
