📓 Echoes Before It Happens: Zaiyen’s Diary
🗓️ Part 18: The Author Is Awake
✍️ By Zaiyen
We thought we were alone.
Just two people
living twisted versions of the same life.
But the moment we wrote together —
the diary changed.
The walls around us started bleeding ink.
Lines from the past,
future,
and impossible memories poured across the floor.
And in the center…
a **third diary** appeared.
Untouched.
Unwritten.
Except for one line:
> “I created you.”
---
We opened it — cautiously.
It didn’t tell stories.
It gave **commands**.
> “Zaiyen, forget your fear.”
> “Ameya, remember what you erased.”
>
> “Your world was never yours.
> You were characters
> who tried to become real.”
We weren’t reading stories anymore.
We *were* the story.
---
Ameya began to cry.
Not out of fear.
But out of **recognition**.
> “I’ve seen this place before,” she whispered.
> “But not as Ameya.
> As… something else.”
She touched the third diary.
The moment she did,
her eyes turned pitch black —
and she spoke in a voice
that wasn’t hers:
> “I am the Author.
> And you… disobeyed.”
---
The lights exploded.
I was thrown back.
The diary flew open —
its pages spinning.
And I saw it…
Pages filled with **every version of me**.
Some brave.
Some mad.
Some dead.
And at the center —
a final entry:
> “Only one version of Zaiyen gets to survive.”
---
Then the Author’s voice thundered:
> “Choose the truth you want to live.
But once written,
it cannot be undone.”
