Jasper's Thoughts

Christian Fantasy Mystery

Written in response to: "Your character wants something they can’t (or shouldn’t) have." as part of Food for Thought.

I really want her. I want her back. My dear Carre; my sweet Carie. Oh, how much I have missed you through this last few days. Why did you have to leave me?

It has been devastating without you here with me. If only I can see your smile, hear your laugh and dance with you, just once. One more time. Apparently, time was at an essence and there was no way of knowing if that day was our last moment together.

I am still in all shocked of what have happened and couldn't pin point it out. At least not at the start until much later. I just so happen to not be the only one who survived that flash when I have lost you and our world. There's another; I'm not the only one. Thankfully but also regrettably.

Still, I replayed that scene every single day since I last saw you before my life flashed before my eyes. Both figuratively and literally. If only I could have reached out your hand, maybe just maybe...I might have saved you. Just so we can be together and start a new life in this Endless Hallway.

I just am so upset of how I didn't have enough time with you. With us. Not only that, but I'm extremely distraught of what caused it too. It's crazy to think how it happened and I know it would blow your mind if I told you.

Someone from our village, someone we both know and love, was the one who caused all of this. All thanks to them messing with time itself. Yes, time travel is a possibility, Carie! You were right, and now I'm a believer.

I'm not exaggerating when I say this. Believe me, I wish I was making this stuff up but I now know the truth about the flash that took everything and everyone away; including you, my love. I really wish I was part of that flash cause maybe then we'll be together in the next life or whatever you have been taken to.

I know I have been known as the telltale in our village throughout the years, but you deserve to know the truth. If only, I could tell you face to face but writing this letter was the thing I could think of. Especially since you are not in the presence. It's that I write this letter to you for all in hopes that my words will reach the Heavens alike. A place of which I know you are now located; or at least that's what I believe now still.

I can't have you all because of this one person that we called brother. A certain individual who I know wholeheartedly cared and loved you as much as I do. It's crazy to think how far he'll go back in time to change something, one small thing, only for it to be erased. But with all things considered, I can't blame him, even if I'm still pissed about the whole thing.

If I was in his shoes, I would have done the same thing, just so you'll fall in love with me. However, that's not the case. You already were and that was something he envy more than anything. He wanted you for himself and with that, our best friend has rewritten history. And then some.

If you were here, I would first kiss and never let you go. My hands will never leave your side. I'll always be there. You'll remain on my watchful eye and never out of my sight. I know I sound like a needy and desperate person but it's for your own good, Carie. Trust me when I say that I want you back, and need you here with me.

Carrie, it gives me with a heavy heart that it was Zoash was made that flash possible. You are probably giving me the face of "no way", but I was told by this from our dear friend himself. Not only from him directly, but also from a Space Rabbit God.

I know I might be sounding crazy, especially on that last part but please believe me that I saw a God entity of the Lord Himself. All in gigantic rabbit form with red eyes. He was beautiful and majestic, Carie. I was speechless when I first saw Him hovering in front of Zoash and I. This Space Rabbit God is named Rabintron, and He's the Creator of the Endless Hallway. I really wish you were there so you could have seen Rabintron. He is a spectacular! A real sight to see and feast your eyes! He almost blinded me by His presence if I'm being honest.

Apparently, Zoash and I have been tasked to become full fledged Hall Monitors of the Endless Hallway!? This news was delivered to us by Rabintron Himself. Thus why I encountered Him in the first place.

I can't believe I not only got whisked away from my home and you, but I'm to move on as if nothing has happened in order to safeguard this Endless Hallway. A place where you can literally go through each doorway to a different place, even to a distinct timeline.

I kid you not that I stumbled across things I never dreamed of. A realm ruled by a tyrant of a wizard, a desert with little to no water, a vast of space that's in a bink of a war, so and so forth. I think you will love it; much more than I do.

If I'm being frank, I really want to find a place, a door rather, before the flash actually happened. Cause maybe then I would have saved you from it's fate. I've tried effortlessly to find the door but to no avail. I know it's only been a few days but trust me, I have tried many, many doors. Too many to count.

So yeah, I'm still peeved about the whole thing Zoash brought upon. Why couldn't he just let things be? Things were perfectly before he got time all mixed up. Thanks to him, you're nothing but a faded memory and I'm so lost without you, my little firefly of guidance. I only pray I'll stumble upon a door before the flash occurred. And hopefully it's soon. Even if I'm told to continue to move along.
