TWENTY-THREE
ISAAC
Phones are funny things.
They can do so many things. Ring people. Hang up on people. Make up cereal helplines.
Fuck, I really want to ring Henry. I was talking to Beth about it today. Well, actually, I wasn't - she noticed I was looking a bit down and somehow got the truth out of me. Actually, it's kind of creepy how much she knows about my life; I'm pretty sure they told us it was bad for pupils to know about your love life during teacher training.
To be honest, I don't really care. At least, not right now. Right now the only thing I care about is Henry.
How could I be so fucking stupid? I knew what his Dad was like. Oh, shit, this is all my fault. Shit shit shit -
This basically sums up my life at the moment.
I am simultaneously trying not to get drunk and trying to ring Henry. The first is going pretty well, seeing as I'm too poor to buy much alcohol. The second? Not so much.
Don't ring henry, one part of my brain said.
, the other part said.
I sighed, snatched my phone up off the arm of my sofa and dialled the number of the helpline. I figured that way he wouldn't be able to shout at me in front of everyone.
Although, this was Henry we were talking about. He was pretty grumpy.
"Hello?" a voice said. It wasn't Henry's or Shania's, so I was kind of stumped.
"Um, is Henry there?" I asked, trying to stop my voice from being disgustingly over-enthusiastic and hopeful. I kind of failed.
"Oh, wow," the guy laughed. "You ring these things, huh?"
It was all eerily familiar.
"Eric?" a woman's voice said in the background. "Can i talk to him?" it was Shania. (Probably.)

"W-why?" Eric asked, sounding confused. Poor Eric.
There were a couple of suspicious noise and then, suddenly, Shania's voice was on the other end of the line. "Isaac?"
"Shania," I said. "How are you?" (Translation: Henry Henry where are you can I talk to you hi can I talk to Henry please)
"Good, good," she sighed, and then hesitated. "Uh, Isaac... we need to talk."
"What is it?" I said, immediately, my pulse rising infinitely. "Where's Henry?"
Shania dropped her voice to a whisper. "I'm worried about him, isaac. He drinks all day and won't stop watching Judge Judy. Oh, and he's been fired."
"Fired?"
"Fired," she repeated. "He needs you, Isaac. Please."

it's 9:30 at night i've been up for 14 and 1/2 hours i've eaten way too many chips and i sorely missed shania

League Of The Void
In ancient times, so long past that even the few immortals still around can barely remember, there existed beings who no one could stand against. Four entities of such might, reality eagerly bent to their very word. But they had a problem common men are not usually around for long enough to experience. The indifference of time. The ever-repeating cycle of events. Live a thousand lifetimes and everything is one big replay. Same events, different faces. Different events, same faces. Like a bad movie, on repeat forever. And yet, time presses on relentlessly, never stopping, never wavering. Pointless. Indifferent. The supreme ones would not accept it any more and so they decided to sleep, waiting for change to come. They separated the void, their home, from the other planes of existence and fell into a mindless state of unconscious bliss. Aeons came and went, until one day, change would finally come. That day is soon to arrive now, the veil concealing the League of the Void about to be lifted.
