The Architects Chapter Seven: I Have To Get Out Of Here

I have to get out of here.

After dodging an absurd amount of trashy pickup lines, I finally just locked myself in the bathroom.

I told Alexei that I was extremely constipated.

Of course, he probably knows that's bullshit, but whatever.

I think about the day.

A lot has happened in just a few hours. I got a new job (or... returned to an old job?) working as an immortal architect, my girlfriend turned into a horny Russian, I drank a blood slushi (which was surprisingly good), and I discovered that I should go work at legoland to build stuff.

If, of course, I ever return to the real world. I doubt Zeuski has a godly legoland.

Pity.

My girlfriend is unconscious somewhere having a horrific nightmare. When Alexei possessed her, he had to wipe her mind of the whole situation.

So she's dreaming about her worst fears.

Meanwhile, I'm practically living a nightmare.

I have to get out of here.

That thought keeps resurfacing every few minutes. I'll be about to relax, let my guard down, maybe get some sleep, and then: I have to get out of here.

I'm in an endless spiral of anxiety.

My girlfriend is alone. She'll wake up soon. Scared. Alone. I have to get back to her. I have to get back to my mortal body and—

Wait.

I'm in Mr. Kerpetski's body. Not mine.

And that means my body is in the same position as Amanda— knocked out.

But... what happens when I wake up?

I have to get out of here.

If I'm in Mr. Kerpetski's body...

Is he in mine?

If he wakes up, he'll be just as confused as I am. But since he's a god, he'll be able to do all kinds of crazy shit.

He could hurt Amanda. He could destroy me. And if he gets here and reveals that I'm mortal...

The punishment is worse than death.

Fuck.

Now it's not just Amanda who's in danger. It's me, too.

And if, for some reason, Mr. Kerpetski can't get back here... what will he do to Earth? Will he tear up the world to get back?

Great. Not just Amanda. Not just me.

I have to save the whole damn world.
