The Twinst-3

"How did you find me?! HOW?! Where is my brother?” the screeching voice made nobody shudder. "What mistake did I do? don't let me die here, please...", Yo didn't even flinch at the questions and requests thrown, and started walking towards the door.

Yin came running and hugged Yo. Yang hugged too, unaware why it happened.
"I'm sure you know we have lot of questions for you, Yo, especially me. But I’m sure you have a story, right? You always have."
Yo began narrating the other side of the story, but the phone chimed in before they could hear it all.

Yo Came back and blurted "Mom is alive."
Yin was staring at Yo, "Wha... What do you mean?"
"Yes I saved her that day, I was there shortly after they were beat up"

Yin gave a Yo a hard slap and hugged with tears in her eyes.
"I had left home when I saw someone in out barn carrying a dead goat and set out to investigate it. It was a short person with a raincoat over him, I followed the short shadowy figure and it was Dunky."
Yin Gasped.
"Yes, it was him, that stinky sonovabitch did this to our limbo and other animals"

I was hit struck from behind before I could do anything to him. I heard a woman's voice and knew instantly who it was"

Yin mouthed, "that bitch".

"I found myself bound to a bed when I woke up and had a sack over my face. I did not know how many days had past, my body felt weak and I was Hungry.
After hours of struggle I managed to get myself untied. And came back home to see mom and dad hanging upside down. They were unconscious and alive."

"I've seen you stitch me up when I had a cut in my arm, I followed the same route and stitched up all the incisions of mom and dad-"

"But the Biopsy read they were dead, how could that happen?" questioned Yin.

"Because it was not the results of a biopsy, it was what I made HER to write, you know we can make people dance when we have a leverage over them.” Yo beamed. "I was the one who administered them, styptics to stop the blood flow, but I was not able to save dad. He was already dead before all this could happen, He had had a cardiac arrest even before he was beaten up or tortured. I swapped a body double with Mom's"

"Mom is now in the safest place-".
"Where?!” Yin was Quick to ask.
"You'll know soon, It was Mom a while back on phone."
Yin had thousand questions, but Yo had left without talking a word more.

Her mind reflected how she had used Yang's sleepwalking disorder to take revenge. To exact blood for the massacre of her pets.
The day she found her dog's beheaded carcass, there was a note which read "Meet me at the park today, at 5. Or else hear your wife scream." Yin had screamed so loud at the note that her parents came running.
The note was hand written and she instantly knew who it was. When she had questioned her dad, who vehemently refused to talk anything about the matter and pleaded not to tell anyone about the note.

She took the matter into her own hands, she went straight to her house and confronted about the note, to which at first she denied it was her.

 But the bitch had not forgotten what happened to her Father in the mill.
*Mr.DeCruz was trapped inside mill which was on fire. Yang's father was stuck between saving Yo and old man DeCruz. Yang's Father Obviously Chose Yo.

That had Ignited a flame inside the DeCruzs, She and her brother had been waiting for a chance to kill them all.*

Yin had used her twin brother's somnambulism, a sleep-walking condition he had had from his childhood, to kill the barn animals like she did to her family.

But her mind had one thought, "Is Heilen DeCruz alive? Or had Yo killed her?"

5 Blocks away in a White English house a Woman was tied to pole in the basement.
She was crying asking for her brother.

*Heilen had never left the city, she had laid out the plan so perfectly that she had booked tickets to her flight to India and made someone else travel in that ticket.
She hit Yang at the back of his head to divert the con-joined twins before she could finish her job at the Juh's household. But she never Expected Yo to show up there. Always a nosy kid.
She barely escaped him before she was.

She never thought that her infiltration into Juh's family and becoming their God-parent would become useless. The Triplets Never liked her anyway, it was only Chen that was compassionate to her, maybe because he was not able to save her father. But she never forgot that day.

She wondered How Yo had escaped from her house and how was he alive after that heavy dosage of poison she had given.

She never anticipated Yo in her house and threatened her to make a Fake Autopsy report.
Her knowledge as a Doctor Allowed her to write that up.
Yo had somehow switched Wu’s body with someone else*

Yin Called up Yo, "Where is mom?"
"She is at Heilen's, Come here."

Yang and Yin Literally ran.
Their Mother was sleeping peacefully but had painful cuts and bruises all over her.

Yang asked as if he understood something, "Where is Dunky, Yo?"
Yin added, "She probably killed him. Where is he actually? "
"Oh, Dunky? After I untied myself, I beat up Dunky and tied him like I was." said Yo with a wicked smile on her Pretty Face.

~thank you

The Twinst-2

Yin was in tears after she read the letter, though it wasn't as traumatising as the events that occurred 5 days ago. It hit her pretty hard.

Her parents weren't what'd you'd consider normal. Sure they were high school sweethearts and almost eloped, but they were the best parents anyone could ever get. They would play videogames with them, drink with them, and even arrange random dates with their boyfriend and girlfriends. The loved them what ever they did.
But their blood ran cold when they found their parents hung upside in their garage.

The biopsy report read:
"The Juh's household Homicide case
Both Wu Ting Juh and Chen Zhao Juh Were victims of homicide on 25-october 2014.
Time of death is around 11.33 p.m CST for Chen Juh and around 12 a.m for Wu Juh.
The mother (Wu Juh) endured the murderous torture longer than the father(Chen Juh).
Both of them were Cut rather surgically incisioned in various places on their body but strangely the incisions were stitched up. They were beat up badly while hung upside down.
The motive of  this action is unknown but it proved fatal to the couple.
Another strange event was that they were drugged  with an unknown chemical agent after the torture.
Drugging them after the torture doesn't make any sense and the lab technicians are working to find out why....."
The report read so on.

When Yin and Yang had returned from the Doctor after a mystery attacker had hit Yang in his head while they were walking home back from school. Though Yin was unharmed, Yang was bludgeoned at the back of his head by an unknown attacker on a bike. They Visited their Family doctor and God-parent, Heilen DeCruz, but they learned from her P.A. that she had already left to India today morning. With first aid done to Yang they went home to witness the slaughter.
Yang fainted on Yin's shoulder.

Yin was scared to death, but being the bold girl she was called in the police and ambulance. she searched the house for missing stuff but there was nothing specifically missing. It seemed as if they had come just to kill.
There was no strong evidence to denote the killer and but it is said that two of them were there.

Heilen came back from India that night and she tried to console them, in vain. She said she had to leave to India tomorrow for an emergency case, though she tried cancelling the appointment, Yin felt that she better go and attend the case for it might be another children praying for his or her parent.
Heilen left the next day first flight.

'It was 2 a.m, early morning or night if you wish, She did not hear any sound, but she wished she did. Usually around this time she would hear her dad carpenting in his workshop and his mom playing playstation rather very loud with her. But there was only dead silence. The silence of her parents being dead She was also plagued by another issue, but she thought its best not to think about him now.'


2 days later.
There was no word from Heilen nor they were able to reach her. Yang seemed away from all of the world happenings, she knew he was moody and cloudy always but he seemed aloof now. like he was blank. Heilen had said she'd take care of the psych eval of Yang after his head bump.

She knew they had made a mistake. Yin knew they musn't have ignored the repeated threats in the form of beheaded  and skinned pets and dogs.

A week prior to their parent's death their pug limbo was found skinned on their porch. Yin's parents came in running after they heard her scream so loud. It took them an hour to console the twins. But it was not the twins they were worried about.

And few days after that Yin slipped over a pool of half-dried blood from a beheaded goat carcass.
Her trauma increased exponentially when the saw all 15 of their cattle and pets slaughtered and disfigured in her barn. The police and the media channels buzzed about it for two days.
The Juh's household was in dismay. No one spoke in the home and all were shaken up badly by the sudden events that had transpired in the past week.

A day Later Wu and Chen were found hung upside down by Yin and Yang.
Flash news read "Father and mother of Three were killed in a bizzare murder yesterday night.
It is said that there is a possible link between the homicide and pet massacre from the week before...
almost a week ago the was a mass killing of pets and cattle in the Juh household. Around 15 pet animals and cattle were killed and beheaded by a unknown killer. They were later moved to...*static*"

The police filed in a case and linked it with the cattle massacre.
The whole town talked abut the Juh's.

But what baffled the townspeople was the Missing third Child, Yo.
The Youngest of the triplets, the unjoined triplet.

' Dear officials please consider this as my note of confession but I don't wish to point out blame anybody. I write this with great regret and sadness, as I sit alone in my home, my wife has left me for another mate. She has even taken my eggs with her, I was not even given a chance to explain my stance and what really happened that day. I have been feeding myself and living alone for the past 60 days.
I feel as if my wings are broken and my senses are list. Even my kids hate me, they even refuse to talk to me and have flown out of our nest. My agony is inexplicable. Someone can be pushed only so much in his life. For all punishments in the world people could have stepped over me, stamped me, smacked me, or even killed me. But they choose the only option that is feared by all. And unfortunately they chose it for me.


what sin did I commit in my previous births to be sprayed by that obnoxious smell?!
a smell so toxic, so disgusting that my family left me for good and alone.
I'm depressed and have no wish to live in this cruel world anymore.


I take leave from this miserable life by drinking this pesticide. The irony.

Are you Human?

Alina knew she saw something there, behind the curtain, a silhouette.
Something passed through Alina. She felt it. She could hear whispers in her ear.
Then she saw something. A moment later. It Disappeared in an instant.
She heard a knock behind and turned to see nothing.
She could feel someone breathing on her neck.
Just inches from her face Alina could see something standing in front of her. it had a head but no face. It was of humanoid form.
There was a flash.
She blinked and it was gone.
Her body was numb and she did not breath.
Suddenly she heard a thudding sound behind her. Like some one was running towards her. Then she heard a voice. Someone hugged her from behind.

"Alinaaaaa!, are you okay?, I heard something crashing and I found you here.", Aruja said in concern
Alina took a big breath.
"We have to leave this place Aru, there is something here, something not human", Alina was trembling now.
"What are you talking about?, What is not human?", she clung to Alina's shoulders.
She was not at all in mood that Alina was.
"Have you been taking those pills again?, they don't seem to be working well on you, you should avoid using them".

"No I swear I saw something with no face. It had no Facial features of any sort. It was just blank." said Alina with her hands still shaking.

"I don't understand, What Facial features?, are you sure really Okay Alina, dear?". Aruja sounded worried.

"I am Fine!, Let us leave this place. Please I beg of you." pleaded Alina.

"Okay Dringo you can come out now. She is really frightened now. The prank has worked is some way",Aruja said with a tone of accomplishment.

"What the Hell?!, now get down off me Aru.", she dug her face in the pillow sobbing.
Aruja climbed down from Alina's shoulders and pulled Dringo from under the bed,"So much for your ghost makeup", she said skeptically.

"I'm sorry Ali, It was just a prank.",Dringo told in his most apologetic tone.

Alina Stood up and froze.
Both Aruja and Dringo had no face. They had no Facial features, no nose no eyes not even a curve.
It was blank.
She turned her head and saw her reflection in the mirror.
Her head was the same as her room mates'.
She had no Face.

There was a scream. But the scream could not be heard by anyone.
The human spirit which had just haunted Aruja was screaming but it was silent all around.
Deafening Silence.
~interspecies haunting is difficult :P

Limbo

He was strapped to a chair by Duct tape and the place was familiar. His Theatre.
His body felt weak and he was having difficulty breathing.
His face was Swollen like a balloon. He was setting into anaphylactic shock

His consciousness was dropping in and out. He was barely able to keep up with gravity of the events that was taking place before him.
He had underestimated the enemy's skill and strength.
He was slowly falling into the limbo of his own mind.
He knew that this blunder would be fatal to him.
It was true. His whole life was flashing before him. He saw everything clearly like a cinema scope.
--
His Family, His School life, His college life and friends from there.
He also remembered the most important even of his life that led ultimately up to this incident.

It was a rainy day, but the night was silent. But deep between the silence was the echoes of a young woman who was screaming for her dear life.
Every single word Anonyma uttered was etched in his mind.
He was lying on the floor of the moving vehicle crippled by the blows from the very men whom he had believed to be good samaritans few minutes ago.
In an almost empty bus Anonyma and Sykopa were leaving home from his doctor's appointment.
Sykopa met Anonyma during his college freshman year. They instantly became best buddies.
He tried to get up from the floor of the bus. but he was beat up again by the three ruffians.
He knew all of them had alcohol in their brains and veins.

They let him bleed and attended the girl sprawling on the floor in pain. Sykopa, unable to move from the mind numbing pain, was forced to watch Anonyma being raped brutally by those men.
His soul was shouting out to the Gods for help, but in vain.
He was seeing blood now. not his own but, hers.
He mustered all his strength and got up and hit the youngest of the group in his face. He dodged the next strike and countered Sykopa with a metal rod.
The rod was bloody even before it hit him. He tried his best to block but he was hit rapidly and thrown out of the moving bus.
As he lay spread eagle on the muddy road, he had no strength to move, barely to breath.
all he could do was give out a muffled cry of agony and pain.
He lost his consciousness.
--
He came back to reality. The situation was a Deja vu -feeling helpless, weak and outstrengthed.
The scar on his nemesis face reminded him of Anonyma.
But he was satisfied with himself, with what he had done, with his murders.
Almost after 5 years later he never imagined he would be caught by the same person who had initiated the unnatural chain of events.
His body was bleeding from various places from the encounter he had before being overpowered.
He was smiling with satisfaction.
Darkness again
--
He woke up from his coma 13 days after the event. The culprits had escaped and they were not apprehended. By then Anonyma had died. and the city was in flames,  flames of revolt and uprising.
His inner self was restless for revenge.
8 months later he found one person of the group in a bar.
he was half-drunk and he did not recognise Sykopa.
Sy escorted him to his location.
When the drunkard woke up he found himself upside down naked.
 A inch long hook was pierced through his foot, by which he was hanging.
He was bleeding slowly from the surgically cut slits in his body. Eventually his heart would run dry of blood. The drunkard was administered warfarin to prevent coagulation.
Skyopa took a scalpel and began to slowly etch something on his Chest.
Drunkard was able to do nothing but shout in pain.
But he knew better than that, that nobody would hear a thing from the 11th floor recording theatre.
Sy left him the hanging, hanging for his life there.
Words Etched on the stomach spelled 'Famine'
--
He swung back to consciousness.
He could see the intensity of the anger on the scarred man's face.
Sy was still smiling before he blacked out again.
--
It was raining. and the thunder was rumbling.
16 hours later Sy was standing before a door that read 'Ex-Serviceman'. He found the address of this smoker from the drunkard's phone.
Sy knocked on the the door and waited for someone to open.
But unexpectedly someone knocked him from behind. It was the person he expected from behind the doors.
A thunder boomed from the sky.
The smoker inquired who he was, but before Sy could answer the smoker's face turned pale.He had recognised Sy from the bus.
Before the man could run, a blow to the back of the neck made his body numb.
Moments later he felt like he was moving in some vehicle. Another blow to the head.
The Ex-serviceman woke up tied to a bed. He felt some pressure in his limbs. No it was not the ropes with which he was tied by. But they were some kind of metal rings tightly welded on his thighs and ankle. The ring was immovable. It was painful to him. He screamed at the top of his voice.
Sy woke up slowly from the couch beside the bed. He Went near him and took a eye dropper and dripped sulphuric acid on his thighs which read 'War'.
He placed some kind of book on him and walked out the theatre.
The book read 'Acidosis and Alkalosis'.
Sykopa knew exactly what would happen.
The rings on his ankle and thighs would prevent the blood flow and produce lactic acid. Unless the rings are removed the excess lactic acid produced would slowly poison his blood. and kill him. There would be death. But the pain would make look death like a joke. His legs would be in a battle of agony. He was imagining muscle sprain in every part of the body. It made him earn for more revenge.
He walked away with a Raging heart.
--
He did not open his eyes. He was not able to.
But he heard a ruffling sound, like some one was rolling on the floor.
There was a loud Thud and it was silent again.
He passed out.
--
Weeks later he was angry at himself. He was cursing himself for his helplessness. He was not able to find the Third person from the group.
He ran the whole scene from the bus in his mind infinite times to grasp any clue about him.
And then it struck him. The third person was the driver of the bus. He did not know If he had touched Anonyma or not. But he had to die. He had his part in Her death.
With a little help from his friend he had the contact of the Driver.
He visited the station where the driver worked. He was told the he had gone to his last shift and would be back within an hour.
Sy tracked the driver and got on his bus. He waited out for the crowd to get down.
Before the last stop he approached the driver. The bus came to a sudden grinding halt, which threw Sy off guard. Before He could regain his composure the driver was on his knees, praying at Sy.
He began to ask forgiveness and begged for his life.
Sy didn't even flinch.
The driver realised that his end was near. He cried like child who was lost.
Sy lifted the driver and hugged him. He took a syringe and injected into the driver's hip. The driver collapsed onto the floor like a tower of cards. The common anesthetic he injected into his hip rendered his legs immovable.
Sy took his mallet and sat down near the driver. He calmly took the hands of the driver placed it palm-down on the floor and began to hit each finger. One at a time. Knuckle by knuckle.
No heed was paid to the pleads and shouts.
Tears were flowing from eyes. Eyes of Sy.
He broke every joint in his body with the ease. But there was no bleeding from his body.
Sy Took a small blow torch from his duffel and burned 'Conquest' on his Shoulder.
The bus was deserted. So was the Driver.
--
He was was seeing flashes of something. There was two people hugging.
Then they were on the floor.
Later only one was on the floor.
Moments later He felt a sharp sting in his heart and his hands loosen.
He slipped again into the void.
--
After weeks and weeks of frantic searching he still was not able to find the Youngest one of the rapist. He used all the clues and hints from his mind. His School uniform, his bag, his face, his shoes even his watch. But it was all in vain.
Years passed. By now Sykopa had killed many others in his search of the juvenile.
Now he was a wanted Criminal by the police
Sy was almost going backwards from his path. Sykopa had become more of a Psychopathic killer now than an avenger.
Until the sudden change of events That would change his life, yet again.

It was the monsoons and the season of rain and thunders. This time the gods were abundant in their blessing. The rain was a pleasant gift to everyone but not Sy.
His Heart was burning with a Fire fueled by rage and anger.
It was her 5th anniversary. He was visiting her grave. The ground was muddy from the rain.
From a distance, To his shock there was someone else standing before her Tombstone.
It was not her parents. someone else.
It was a lone figure. Someone familiar. Someone he could not forget.
He ran towards the dark silhouette. The shadow turned away from him and disappeared in split second.
Sy heard someone behind him. He turned back to a metal rod. He fell down from the strike and his head hit a grave hard. He fainted instantly.
-
He was strapped to a chair by Duct tape but the place was familiar. His Theatre.

His body felt weak and he was having difficulty breathing.
His face was Swollen like a baloon. He was setting into anaphylactic shock.

His consciousness was dropping in and out. He was barely able to keep up with gravity of the events that was taking place before him.
He had underestimated the enemy's skill and strength.
He was slowly falling into the limbo of his own mind.
He knew that this blunder would be fatal to him.
It was true. His whole life was flashing before him. He saw everything clearly like a film out of a cinema scope.
His mind slipped

He swung back to consciousness.
He could see the intensity of the anger on the scarred man's face.
Sy was still smiling before he lost blacked out again.

He did not open his eyes. He was not able to.
But he heard a ruffling sound, like some one was rolling on the floor.
There was a loud Thud and it was silent again.
He passed out.

 He was was seeing flashes of something. There was two people hugging.
Then they were on the floor.
Later only one was on the floor.
Moments later He felt a sharp sting in his heart and his hands loosen.
He slipped again into the void.

He heard someone call his name out loud.
He bolted upright.
Suddenly he could feel his heart pumping faster than an engine.
His ears had a ringing sound and everything was bright.
Down on the floor moaning was the only person he was chasing for all these years.
Sy understood everything in a instant.
The last Rapist. The scar in his face reminded of what had happened 5 years ago.
With a scream of anguish he jumped at him.
They fought with each other and pummeled each other faces with jabs and punches.
The once young juvenile overpowered Sy easily.
He took the rod and hit Sy's left foot.
Barely standing Sy tried to get his hands on something to hit him back. But he got nothing.
He felt as if the gods had betrayed him for good.
But the rage inside him would not let him lose that easily.
He lunged at the Scarface and elbowed him in his stomach.
They hit the floor. Sy heard some one call out to him.
Instinctively he caught the Meat hooks that were thrown to him.

He pierced the Stomach of Scarface and tore him apart.
It was over.
It was done.
With the blood from the dead body he wrote 'Death' on the forehead of the scarface.
-
Someone held him from behind.
It took him a moment to realise that it was a hug and not an attack.
He turned around to witness the most shocking Revelation.
It was Anonyma.

Or so he thought.

It was Perdu.
The Twin of Anonyma.
She explained how she was also tracking the rapists with a desire to see their lives end.
And also how she had tailed scarface from the grave till here.
She was also the one who injected adrenaline to save him from his anaphylaxis.
Sy's mind was Trying to cope up with all that had happened.
Whatever it maybe he was happy with whatever that had happened.

His mind was like a calm ocean now.
Though the city was revolting his mind was not.
He burned his theatre down.
And they walked into the now set Sun.
~To all men and women alike.

Speed Thrills with, High petrol bills.

A tear left my right eye horizontally.
Dust was bombarding into my naked face with blistering speed, it almost scraped my face off.
My vision was blurred, reason: a speed above 100 kmph.

I did not know if the brakes were working or if the vehicle behind me would respond quickly if if pull to a sudden stop.
My heart was drumming every time the two wheeler took dangerous overtakes and impossible curves.
I swayed gracefully with the vehicle's turns and twists.

It was as if the time was slowing down and I was outside the Time-space fabric.
The sun was becoming hotter, so was the vehicle's engine. Red hot with Torque.
From the passersby point of view it should've been like another version of lightning, just slightly visible than the original.

I did not bother about the petrol the engine was gulping down or the condition of the road or the rules of the road. The speed was blissful.
I had no idea what would happen if I crash.
But I knew this -Speed is Addicting.
I had no helmet or licence or care for all the world.
The vehicle rarely slowed for the bumps or speed breakers on the road

I was comfortable in my Pillion seat.
The view was Great from behind.

                Thank you

Fraction.

"Just throw the bait and wait son, he will come to you", Stein remembered his father’s words from the fishing day festival.

He was slowly able to flex and move, he worked his muscles at full strength and started running at Isaac. He swiftly picked up the sharp piece of glass that was floating and jumped at Isaac, fractions later,

The next time wave hit them.

An hour earlier...

"How did he manage to set it off?!” Stein wracked his brain over and over, he went over every possibility of how it could happen and how Isaac would try to escape its consequences.

He knew there was only one possibility for all this to happen. He must have embedded a quantum Chip to his brain like himself. The Quantum chip enables the user to use the brain normally even when time has slowed or speeded up.
This chip enables brain to become a quantum computer, i.e. work or rather think outside the time-space fabric.

"He must be puzzle how I managed to detonate the CHRONO BOMB.", Isaac mentally appreciated himself for what he had done.

Though it was a suicide mission of stealing Stein's Blueprints for the quantum chip, it was a 99.9% possibility of death remodeling it for himself.

The feeling of realizing that they were the only people who were surviving the Time-Space Disruption caused by the bomb, must have given him goose bumps if the time had not slowed down.

He knew it was mere survival, because he knew he had to make his move before the next wave hit them or else he would be slowed down again quicker since every time the wave hit them, the time or distance between the waves would decrease exponentially thus making it even difficult for them to react when time flows normally.

Stein immediately regretted creating the quantum chip and the "The Literal Time bomb", as they called it at the lab. Stein knew that a radius of 5 miles was caught in the Time-Space disruption.

"The quantum chip is your amulet to make yourself all powerful god and the Time bomb is your super weapon, Stein, pray it doesn't fall into wrong hands", words of Nikol echoed in his mind. she was his Lab partner and Partner in life.

He was previously slowed on his way towards the direction of the bomb by the wave that hit him, but thankfully the quantum chip that is embedded in his brain allowed him to stay outside of the Time-Space Fabric. He had won his Nobel Prize for this discovery.

Time began to return to its normal state slowly.

Isaac was slowly able to see things, he had only one thought "I must get out of this place and as far as possible to escape from the Permanent Time collapse". But of course he knew it was not going to be easy with Stein on his tail. He moved as fast as he could towards his door. He waded through the rubble that was still floating from the time disruption.

Stein ran as fast as he could with all his might, and he spotted him, "Stop right there Isaac! I will eventually catch up to you".

Isaac have a mild laugh and retorted, “Don’t you still realize that I also have my own version of your quantum chip?".

"How did they even give this guy a Nobel Prize?” Isaac rolled his eyes.

"You were never bright in school either Stein".

He raised his gun and shot at Stein, the first one missed him by an inch and the second one slowed down before it could reach Stein's face.

The next wave had hit them. It was sooner that they thought.

If it was not for the disruption he would have had a hole in his head right now. Stein ironically thanked for the time wave that had hit now.

"Damn, I have crappy aim!” thought Isaac to himself.

Stein took in the picture and he knew that bullet would stay there long if he doesn't move next time.

His brain was working rapidly and he was calculating every scenery possible for the next few moments

Isaac was hoping that the bullet would hit him. Time began to unreel slowly, but faster this time.

In a Matrix-Special-effects style movement Stein had thought up a scene of evading the bullet, but he knew it would impede his further movement.

He Slyly Tilted his head and let the bullet slowly accelerate beside him. Now he moved rapidly towards the glass that was floating nearby.

Isaac was bewildered at the speed of Stein's movement. He had to escape.

The next wave had hit them even quicker than before.

The expressions of both Isaac and Stein was of pure shock.

It had dawned upon them that they had only one chance for them to escape or react.

After the next wave, the disruption would reach its saturation and they would be stuck in the time lapse infinitely.

It was beginning to return to normal. Stein forced his body to move opposing the time flow, every bit of his muscle was under strain and was screaming for release. He began moving with a burst of speed at the glass shard, he picked it up, and clutched it strongly. He now directed himself at Isaac who was surprised at his swiftness. With a shout of angst Stein jumped at Isaac "Isaaaaaccc!"

The Glass shard had made an incision on the skin directly above Isaac’s heart. Blood was slowly seeping out.

The Next wave hit them.

Fractions before...

A shot was heard. Tip of the bullet had already entered Stein's chest. The blood splashed and froze. The Next wave hit them

They were stuck in the Time Lapse.

But Fate had other plans. It always has.

Another wave hit them.

Both were surprised. Time began to reverse to the point before the bomb was set off.

Isaac had entered the safe room where the Chrono bomb was kept.

He used the fingerprints he stole from Stein's blueprints to set off the bomb.

The bomb ticked off and a voice played from the bomb, "Do not turn back if you want your face to be unharmed"

Stein landed a punch on his face, instantly breaking Isaac’s nose.

The police that had arrived there apprehended Isaac. "How is this possible?!” cried Isaac, stupefied.
