Notes at the end.
_______________________________________

Uh, where? What? This is not my room. Where's my husband?

"Ugh, can you shut up? I have a fucking hangover and your loud ass yelling isn't making anything better."

Wait. Are you the writer guy my husband td me about?

"Well look who has half a brain and no inside voice. I'll admit I'm shocked to see you here, but I already want you to get the fuck out."

Hey. I just got here. And aren't you like twelve or something? Why the hell were you drinking in the first place?

"First of all I'm fifteen. And secondly, because I fucking can. I was told to take a break, so I did. I spent time outside, found a d&d group, and even applied for more jobs. And I drank as a reward, though this hangover is a fucking curse."

Soooo, why am I here and not my husband?

"Fuck, I dunno. Maybe it's because he actually shows up next chapter. Well, this chapter. You know what? It's too damn confusing and I'm not gonna spend twenty minutes on something that useless."

Have you thought of therapy.

"Don't have the money for it. And I'm not an alcoholic! Why the hell would I need therapy?"

Brutux said you're a mess and needed a break. Well, I don't think he meant find another way to overwork yourself. Why don't you just take a nap, actually embrace taking a break and not pushing yourself to write another chapter? I don't know, I guess you do what you think is best.

"I can't take a break! I'm only on chapter Nine! If I'm leaving them hanging it'll be on a good note. I won't let them suffer and wait for a good outcome. I genuinely love receiving comments from people who bother to read this. I love it when they enjoy my writing. I want to make a world that they can help and contribute to. If I take a break, then what will they do?"

Read another book or just re-read the chapters. You don't have to work your ass off for them every single day. They'll understand that you need to take a break every once and awhile. If they can't respect that then oh well.

"You're right. I can take a break, they'll understand. Hopefully. And even then, after I release the official canon design for your husband Brutux, then I'll hold a mini contest!"

Why...?

"Because I want to see what everyone else thinks the rest of the characters will look like. If they win, then I'll have it featured and give them a shout out. Simple, easy and fun."

That makes sense. Anyways I'm cold and I really don't like how this room is a plain white void. Can I go home now?

"Okay, also don't diss the void. It's beautiful.

~~~

"Honey? Are you alright?" I heard Brutux say. I guess he's already up.
I carefully sat up and embraced him. I'm just happy I'm not in that void anymore.
"Sorry Alex, I must have slept in." I replied.
"Wigmend White, what happed?"
I froze. I guess I can't really hide the fact I met his strange dream friend.
"Remember that friend of yours? He visited me, very hungover. But he still showed up. What does it mean?" I shouted. Even if I have got multiple phds, I wasn't informed of there being dream travelers.
"I have a theory, maybe it's based on time. The guy seems to be twelve years in the past, the day I found both Jim and Max on my doorstep. The day I lost my library." Alex replied.
I tried to think about any possibilities that could line up with this, but then. It hit me.
"Maybe he can only interact with people who aren't in the story yet! Maybe that's why he could talk to you before!" I said.
"That's brilliant!" My husband replied. He soon held me closer as we embraced once again. Even if this 'story' had an alternative ending, I'd want to be in his arms.

Guess who's got to thumbs and emotional burnout. This guy. Anyways I'm still trying to get some stuff on paper (or in my documents) and keep you guys entertained and engaged in this story but I can't say it's easy. Writing takes time and I don't really have that anymore. I'm really tired and then I have a friend in  town that I haven't seen in ages. Plus a vacation coming up. As such, I've been quite preoccupied. I hope you can understand and even relate to what I'm dealing with currently, so if this next chapter takes a bit, that's why. Anyways the contest is simply just a fun thing you can do. Winner does get a shout out here so yeah. I'll explain it better next week, but until then, history repeats itself.
