INITIUM NOVUM: Part 1 (13 page)

THE WRITE GOD:

Because down there, you’ve only known her for
a few hours. You do love her, but it is this you, here before me,
who loves her. You don’t feel it when you initially return because
where she is, in regards to where you are, in regards to how this
all started, you are still too new to each other. While she has the
book to reacquaint her with you, you have nothing but
time.

WILL FREEMAN:

But am I not God? Am I not you?

THE WRITE GOD:

You are made in my image, an extension of me.
Whereas I reside outside of the story of your known world, you
reside within the story, alongside the rest of our
creation.

WILL FREEMAN:

But, she does love me? Or at least, does she
love the voice?

THE WRITE GOD:

You are the voice which commands you. Your
physical body is only an avatar. You reside here, outside of
yourself. Whereas everyone else resides inside their selves. The
faithful day of your eternal return, the circumstance were just
right for a change of fate. You were always the variable, the
mysterious electron. The problem is, as you know, that day you had
only know each other for mere hours. In other stories, your love
has had days and weeks even. While true love will always transcend
space and time, it does sometime take a while to sink in. Life
plays its part, a cruel and most random variable in the
equation.

WILL FREEMAN:

But why even set out to write story with a
happy ending if you know the source material is a
tragedy?

THE WRITE GOD:

They say that comedy is tragedy plus time.
Well, now we have infinite time to stop a comedy from becoming
tragic. Because before it became a story it was simply life. Now
that it is a story, it can be rewritten. And that happy ending is
ours to attain. Through you.

WILL FREEMAN:

What if I can’t do it? What if I’m the wrong
character to change the story?

THE WRITE GOD:

You cannot be the wrong character, because you
are me and I am you, and the voice is us. But I cannot help you,
you must help yourself.

WILL FREEMAN:

That’s where you lose me, every time. No
matter how many times I’ve been here.

THE WRITE GOD:

Be the voice that guides you.

WILL FREEMAN:

But I can’t control my own actions as a
voice.

THE WRITE GOD:

And that there is the problem as I will not
inhibit free will. You are the only variable that I have. You are
the only hope for the world I love so vehemently. You must find the
path or simply end the story forever.

WILLIAM FREEMAN

One more thing: I’ve been meaning
to ask you this for—I don’t know, I lost count—
but seriously, am I high?
