[RING, RING]
“Oh god!” Said Amelia as she woke up, “I think I just had deja vu... Oh no, I’m late for work!” Amelia rushed down the street. just in time, she caught the bus.
As she was on the bus, she kept having flashes of herself being on the bus and forgetting it, it was almost like she was doing the same action over and over again. Just as she was about to throw up, the bus stopped.
“Sorry I’m late, the bus was just extremely slow, and there was like.. like a traffic jam and..
“I don’t need another one of your stupid excuses,” Said Aridam, her boss. “Just tell me what this is.” He pointed at a wall, where there were strange purple glowing figures.
“Hmm… These are ancient Roman languages, five thousand years ago, they used figures as words.”
“Then can you not be a sloth and translate it?” Scolded Aridam. Amelia quickly scanned the words but found nothing.
“These words are even more complex, but I can use a book…… Wait, I didn’t bring it today..”
“Oh, you are absolutely useless!” He walked away, stomping loud footsteps that even fish could hear. Amelia sighed, hopeless, she took a photo of the ancient Roman language and walked away.
At home, she started to have these weird emotions again, her vision was blurry and she felt exhausted. Luckily, she was able to translate most of the words, it said
WRITE ‘OUROBOROS’
A chill ran down Amelia’s spine. This never meant any good. She got her notepad and wrote it down, to Amelia’s surprise, it faded in words.
WHO ARE YOU SEEKING??
Amelia wrote down: I am Amelia, I keep having visions of myself doing the same thing over and over again. Is it about this??
AHH.. Amelia, I was expecting you.
What? Amelia’s head was about to blow up, she wrote down: Who are you?
I am Ouroboros. Let me explain, you are trapped in a time loop. It’s a thing where a curse is put on you where you lose memory and experience time again. This happens every time you figure out what is going on.
Amelia panicked, she wrote down: "Does that mean I will be going back now?”
Yes, now go away, I have other lives to ru...
“No!” Amelia screamed. She tore the paper and threw it in the trash can, she didn’t have any visions anymore.
Then, a glitchy face appeared in front of Amelia. It was a snake eating its own tail, Amelia screamed.
“You may have won this time,” The creature said. ”But I will come back, mark my words, I will.”
Then, it faded out...
