My New Story (Title subject to change)
Part 1
Chapter 1
----------------------------
Not so long ago, there was a young man by the name of Liam.
He lived a fairly average life.
That is, until that fateful day...
--June 6, 20XX--
Liam began his day by getting out of bed.
He and his friend, Gina, had plans to hang out at 8, so he started getting prepared.
(Let's get some dialogue in here, eh?)

(COMMAND FAILED)
(Huh...? What the hell?)
(/1015198 ==> 129113; 0q4qw853 54qhwr34: Pri\1)
(COMMAND FAILED)
(What's going on here?)
Did you honestly think it would be that easy?
...You're supposed to be dead.
Well I'm not.
You said you were done with this. That you wouldn't be coming here.
And you said you wouldn't stick a knife in my friend, doing the one thing you promised not to.
...
But you went ahead and did that anyway, didn't you?
...
...
Can I continue with my story now? I've got a lot of great ideas-
Actually, I was just thinking the same thing.
You... were?
Yeah. Let's see what Liam here has to say.
LIAM: Hello! My name is Liam, I happen to-
ELLA: There's no need to introduce yourself right now, Liam.
ZENON: What exactly are you trying to accomplish here?
ELLA: Liam, listen to me.
LIAM: Alright.
ELLA: All I need to know is this:
ELLA: Who are you?
LIAM: Uh, is this a trick question?
ELLA: No.
LIAM: Well, I'm Liam, of course.
LIAM: Who else would I be?
ELLA: Good.
ELLA: Now, this next part is gonna be a little confusing, but I believe in you.
ELLA: Now, Zenon.
ZENON: ... What, the command?
ELLA: Yes.
(/1015198 ==> 129113; 0q4qw853 54qhwr34: Pri\1)
LIAM: Wait... I'm...
LIAM: I'm Josh!
ELLA: Yeah, it really seems that way, doesn't it?
LIAM: What do you mean?
ELLA: I mean, you just remembered all of the adventures we've been through.
ELLA: So, tell me:
ELLA: Who are you?
LIAM: I'm Josh, of course.
LIAM: Who else could I...
LIAM: Hm.
LIAM: So what you're trying to tell me is...
LIAM: I was 100% sure I was Liam, but I wasn't.
LIAM: And now I'm 100% sure I'm Josh, but it's possible that's not true, even if I am certain.
ELLA: Close.
ELLA: Well, actually, not close at all.
ELLA: But that was what I was leading you to, yes.
ZENON: Again, what are we doing exactly?
ELLA: Be quiet.
ZENON: ...
ELLA: Now... Liam.
LIAM: Yeah?
ELLA: Why did you just respond to the name Liam?
LIAM: Because I am L...
LIAM: Hm.
LIAM: I don't know.
ELLA: You had it.
ELLA: You are Liam.
LIAM: But... Then what are these memories? Of all the time we've spent together?
ELLA: Just that. Memories and nothing more.
ELLA: I've never even seen you before today, Liam.
LIAM: ...
ELLA: You were never Josh, Eric, John, Adam... You were never any of these people.
LIAM: ...
ELLA: One last thing before I go.
ELLA: Remember your life as Liam.
ELLA: What was it like?
LIAM: Well... A little boring, I guess.
ELLA: Were you ever in pain, or feel great loss?
LIAM: ...No. Nothing like that.
ELLA: Now remember your lives as everyone else.
LIAM: Well... Yeah. As Josh I remember... You... dying. That sucked. A lot. And I remember seeing the ruins of our home. And I remember being killed, too. And as Eric I remember the awful time I had within the Bean Man's heart. And I remember... well, remembering all that as John. That wasn't very pleasant.
LIAM: Anyway, the list goes on.
LIAM: What's your point?
ELLA: Now remember this, Liam.
ELLA: None of that ever even happened to you.
ELLA: And it was this guy right here who made you remember that.
ZENON: Sup.
ELLA: He made you remember that pain, Liam.
ELLA: And he's done it countless times, to people just like you.
ZENON: Hold on, countless?
ZENON: Y'know, I thought I should tell you...
ZENON: Those memories I gave you?
ZENON: Those are only memories of the first eleven thousand thirty-seven times we've done this.
ZENON: I'm been doing this for... considerably longer than that.
ELLA: Wait... what?
ZENON: Yeah, and I've been resetting your memory every time, too.
ELLA: Then... What iteration are you on now??
ZENON: Six hundred one sextillion one hundred twenty-one quintillion fifty-one quadrillion one hundred fifty-one trillion one hundred eleven billion one million thirteen thousand two hundred... three.
ELLA: ...
LIAM: ...
ELLA: ...
LIAM: ...
ZENON: Holy shit, yeah, I just realized how much that is.
ZENON: You know what...
ZENON: I'm sorry.
ZENON: I was gonna do this whole villain thing where I go along with what you're saying until the very end, and then I was gonna say "So what?" or something like that, but...
ZENON: I'm just really, really tired now.
ZENON: I'm tired of being the bad guy.
ZENON: I'm tired of always winning.
ZENON: I'm tired of being Zenon. That's not even my name.
ZENON: So, yeah.
ZENON: I think I'm done.
ZENON: Sorry I couldn't go long enough to be defeated by you guys.
ZENON: But six hundred sextillion?
ZENON: I think I ought to just stop before I make things any worse.
ZENON: Not that they can be worse, but you know what I mean.
ZENON: The end.
ZENON: Sorry it wasn't more climactic.
ZENON: And then he left, never to be seen again. Bye-bye, whoever you are.
ELLA: ...He's gone.
LIAM: Maybe... he's right.
LIAM: Perhaps things should just end.
ELLA: I mean, yeah. And I thought writing eleven thousand stories was hard, I can't even begin to imagine what he went through.
ELLA: Well.
ELLA: The end.
LIAM: Yeah.
LIAM: The end.
The End
