"I've lost my mind. The pressures of this job have caused me to snap." I said to myself.

"Probably, then again you could just be asleep, dreaming your night away."

"This isn't happening."

"Maybe not."

"I'm just going to sit here and pretend like nothing happened."

"Like that will do any good. You're just going to phase out again soon. So you may as well get used to it."

"Who or what the hell are you?!" I asked, screaming to no one around me.

"Whatever you want me to be, Jake."

I sat, my back against the wall and one knee up with my arm resting on it. I looked out over the planet and at all the ships flying around. I didn't recognize any of them.

"Then you're the person...or thing, that's going to answer what the hell's going on."

"Alright. I'll explain it to you.

"At the dawn of the universe, time began. Everywhere in the universe there is energy. This energy lives and forms life. But, it cannot accurately keep control of the time flow, it lances everywhere as it moves, thus there must be an entity that can focus and control the time line and keep everything in motion as it is supposed to, until the universe ends.

"That isn't helping me much." I commented.

"Well, I'm not done explaining. The universe picked a specific person or creature to safeguard the time line, to keep everything in line and keep everything from getting out of control and too hard to handle. This person safeguarded the creations of the universe by keeping everything accurate. However, for millions of years, the original guardian has become...corrupted. The universe has already attempted to replace him once. However, that failed, and the replacement was killed. I'm the proof of that, forever trapped in the timeline.

"But now, there's hope in you. You've been chosen to become the next guardian. You and I have to take him down once and for all and become the next guardians of time."

"...yep. I'm dreaming."

You fear oblivion. Yet you forget. The universe remembers every atom of your being. Even dust hums your name in the dark.
