"what could anything worth you for destroying multiple universes? you realized that everyone in their universe are put out of existence because you decided to be in this? how could you ever be so selfish! HOW COULD YOU? YOU INCONSIDERATE PIECE OF SHIT! YOU KILLED ALL OF THEM! THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW"
"him."
I point to a small boy, not older than 6 years old. With tears in his eyes, witnessing two of me, screaming at each other.
"all I ever wanted, was him to have a happy life. I mean, I tried. I know, my actions has led to countless lives and universes destroyed, and there is no time could ever suffice to punish me. I'll live my life in atonement. but let this kid, have that once perfect future. save him. Not me. Take him and send me to Hell."
in disbelief, my future self, a better version of me took the boy away. He looks at me, tries to pull away but I shook my head. He deserves a better life, a brighter future and not to turn into me, a self absorbed narcissist, a burnt out failure, a waste.
"I'll take it from here. See you on the other side, kiddo."
and I feel myself, losing. all of my memories, my strengths and pains, lifted, and as I look at myself, I'm slowly disappearing. At least future me is getting a better life.
