“ Wakey wakey Wilfred..... Rise and shine...” Opening my eyes, I saw the officer standing right inside the jail they kept me, he was on a fitted gray suit with red tie, his hair slicked back, making his jawline visible. Despite looking like one who's in his early forties, he still looks fit and athletic, comparing his body with mine, I don't think that I can possibly outrun him in a race. I wanted to escape last night, I wanted to leave the present and return back in time as always, but no, I happened to see the limits of my power last night, with me being inside a limited surrounding, I couldn't run as far as possible to go back, hitting the other part of the wall on each try, got a broken nose last night because I never stopped trying until I was exhausted, which automatically led to a sudden goodnight sleep. Realizing that this is the second time I am experiencing morning since I got this power, I have been repeating day after day, trying to solve the same thing and stuck in the present which was now a past, so had I possibly run back in time last night, then it would mean that I've been stucked in the same day all this time, yet haven't done anything yet. Chronos told me about this, but I never really realized that this was how it was going to be, it felt like I have been getting chances and chances for days now, but realizing that I have been stuck in the same day all this while makes it interesting, I have been seizing myself from proceeding to the future, yet I am still to return again, returning back to the past again. Maybe I should just let go, was it really worth it?, Should running back in time again worth breaking my promise to Chronos again?, Knowing exactly what's in the line here, his existence. I know that I have failed, is that a massage this power has been trying to send to me?, That I can't rewrite natural incident and expect it to go as I planned. I can hoard the time, but I can't hoard the incident that plays in the time, it's just like chasing the wind. Chronos had told me all this, but the more I live in it, the clearer it becomes, he told me his story, saying that he was a god obsessed with time, he has been traveling through different timezones, tampering with time all he wants because he possesses the ability, but before he knew it and the extent he has gone, he was held captive by what he had created, he was locked up by his own demon, his time keeper, he never actually told me the exact thing he did next to get punished by people no longer knowing his look, but I know it has nothing to do with being locked up by his time keeper. Standing up, looking eye to eye with the officer before me, I tried to maintain that confident look, Ready to let of the struggle of fixing the unfixable, ready to just go and serve my time in prison and let them do whatever they want. “ You know, I shouldn't tell you this, you definitely have nothing to do with the information, but since you're the reason all this came to be successful in the first place, I guess you should know..... You seem to deserve it I can say, you're the reason almost all of us are going to turn billionaires, so we all are definitely thankful for the jail time you're about to solve.....” I didn't say anything, not that I haven't figured it out already, I already thought about it and know that it's going to be this way, so there's nothing new about their success, they should do whatever they want, what they did is just like stealing what belongs to them only for a few of them to enjoy the benefits, it's just like a group of people contributing money for years, only for some people in the same group to dupe the others and take the whole shares up to themselves. “ The News have been going on now, it's all said that you're the reason for the robbery, one of the workers stealing something that belongs to the museum, got some men to come and raid the museum, almost everyone out there knows you now, I can possibly say that you've become a legend.... Told you that you would be able to benefit from this too.....” I didn't say anything, I didn't even want to look at him, just acting like I don't even care. Speaking of which, what later happened?, I thought I had handed that blueprint to my Boss, how come they still raised the museum when he was the one holding the blueprint, didn't he return it back or what?, How come they succeed with this without the help of the blueprint?. I can surely say that I am kinda greatful though that they did this, if not, my mom and I would be the ones to pay the price, but with the blueprint on the Bosses hold, how come the still raided the museum?. “ And there's another too, because of the you know.... You worked with them for almost a whole year, knowing how the operate and stuff, don't believe you still need the details, so I should go straight to the point.... The gang leader is a man that doesn't forgive, so after we had let him know that he can no longer harm you because you were now in our custody, though his men might be waiting for you in prison, but I should go straight to the point, your Mom is gone, killed by the gang leader and his members, my sympathies for her, but you're the cause, you should've left when he gave you the opportunity to.....” Now I'm looking at him and lost in thought, I would kill him myself, I never wanted to do this again, but since he doesn't want to leave any sort of victory for me, I would make sure he wouldn't live to see his.
