Ultimate Book Of Creation - Chapter 1 Hit Me On The Head

“THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS-”

“Chicken Little… how many times have I watched you today? No answer? Your just like my boyfriend. No, EX-boyfriend.” I turn the TV off and finish my bucket of ice cream, blowing my nose with red rimmed eyes from crying. My phone range and I get up to answer half hoping it’d be my ex.

“Hello, Athena speaking, I don’t like to be bothered on my days off.”

“Thea… Please come back to me. Th-that was a mistake. I didn’t mean for it to happen! You’ve gotta believe me!” ‘Ahh! He called, he really really called!’ I jump with joy and listen to his explanation not giving away my thoughts.

“Thea? please…”

“please what? Forgive you for cheating on me? It forgive you for sleeping with my sister? It’s kinda funny. I can forgive my sister because she’s never knew what you looked like, but you? I showed you a photo of my family and talked about my sister all the time to you! So, please what? Please WHAT Frank?”

‘Please, please, please. I’m sick and tired of hearing please! Say something else! Like you don’t want to be with me anymore because I’m lazy so you wanted to see- no that’d just make me even more mad! Why is he such an idiotic moron? We’ve been together for four years and he never figured out I hate it when people say please over and over again and repeat their words!’

“Thea, I was drunk! You know how I get when I’m drunk.”

“Even better reason for me dumping you. We’re over! O.V.E.R! So don’t call me again!” I slam the phone down and slap myself for being excited about him calling me. “Why? Why her of all people?” I really liked Frank. I’d almost say I loved him. My heart clenched inside my chest as I sat under the telephone. ‘I’m so stupid. He isn’t the one for me like I’d thought he was. Just… Just need to forget him.’

My phone rung and I answered it without thinking. “Hello? Thea? I know your there. Listen, I didn’t know he was the guy you told me about. I swear I didn’t know! Don’t be mad at me.”

“Ella… I’m tired and i’m reading a book right now. You know how much I hate being disturbed when I’m reading.” I sigh staring at the floor.

“What book? I thought you read all the books on your shelf. i got you a few new ones, but their more or less history books.” i knew she was trying to ease me into saying I forgave her, but I hadn’t. Not yet at least.

“It’s- Ouch!” A book fell from the counter and hit my head. Chicken Little’s famous line, ‘The sky is falling!’ ran through my mind and I chuckled picking up the book. ‘It’s not the sky thats falling, but my book.

“Thea? Thea? Athena? You okay? What happen?”

“Noting, just banged my toe into the wall again. Anyway, the book is called ‘ultimate Book Of Creation’.” I read the title. An old lady had given it to me at a yard sale a couple weeks ago. i never got around to reading it because I wanted to finish the rest. “An old lady gave it to me. I just started reading it, it’s really good.”

“Oh? Whats it about?” I flip the book open and read the first part of it to her.

“It’s about making your own world, your own creation. Anything, living, dead, gas, solid, or liquid. Anything you want. You can create it and it’ll come alive. Your own little paradise…Well anyway, I gotta go. It’s getting late and I have stuff to do in the morning. Later.” I hang up before she could say anything else. The book had sparked my curiosity. I get up from the floor and dust off my butt before shutting the lights off in the apartment minus my side lamp in my room and the light over the oven.

Sighing I curled up on my pillow and keep Frank off my mind. I hum and open the book to where I left off the last time. ^Will you want just one world or many worlds? ~ answer before you go to the next page~^ “Well obviously many worlds, but not all at once. What a strange little book you are.”

^Worlds are only so far apart, there are almost always different ways for your people to got to those other worlds or no?^. ‘Hmm, time will tell I suppose, not sure’. ^ Please draw the layout of your world(s), example, Earth has an inner core, outer core, mantel, and crust which living things thrive on. Following which, there’s an atmosphere made up of troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermostat, and exosphere along with a history and theories on how it was made. Please make it in details.^

“What the-?” I turned the page and it lit up, projecting an oblate sphere. I touch a spot and it zooms in to show a rocky terrain.

“Welcome Thea, this is just an example of what you could create for your world.” Instead of screaming and throwing the book across the room, I bring it closer to my face and study it.

“Is some sort of new technology? So intriguing.”

“Something of the likes. Anyway, Thea, you are the next lucky person to make a world of your own, where you can travel into and out of, and you can also take anything you want to and from the worlds you create.” The book floated from my hands and stayed suspended in the air as it talked to me.

“So I can make up my own world, what about the time differences if I say, want to go into the world I created for a period of time?”

“You can either choose a time difference from here and there, or choose to freeze your earth times every time you go. So long as you don’t have life forms on your other worlds, you can change to time differences freely, but when you put life forms on your other world, you will have to wait for a period of time before you can open said world.” I rub my chin like I have a beard. ‘I could spend my time there away from everyone.’

“Can I make a time difference now?”

“of course, you are the ruler of this book.”

“Cool, also, whats the catch?” The book doesn’t respond for a bit and my eyes grow cold. “A little book like you full of magical things. You can create life? Playing God? There’s always a price to pay. Nothing is ever free. Only a retard would leap in with the thought of everything would be fine.”

“… You are correct, there’s a price to pay… But the price isn’t as bad as you may think. in fact, it’s the way of life already.”

“whats the price?”

“Blood.”

“…” I stare at the book with a blank expression. “Uh… How much blood?”

“Just a drop of yours and a deal of not interfering much with the wars of men that will go on in your story. Also, only people with certain characteristics can be put into your book from this world.” ‘There’s a lot of loopholes.

“Okay, I want the time difference to be a year in that world is a week in this world. Also, did you hit me on the head on purpose ?”

“…” The book never responded.
