Chapter 3

Chapter 3 - no memories, part 2

Solvyr waited till the bus stopped at his stop, he then thanked for the ride and stepped outside of the bus. The weather had to be gloomy and rainy, he already had a bad day, since the bus ride was crowded and all kinds of people were there.

„Let’s look at the rides, I need to take a tram or the underground.“ Solvyr took out his phone and looked at the rides on the website, he would have to wait at least 30 minutes for the underground. „The tram is the better option, then.“ he sighed and walked the bit of the way to the tram station.

He had to wait for 10 minutes for it to arrive, so in the meantime, he looked at the news. He never really watched the news, because he deemed it useless.

„Some weird abnormalities happened in Tokyo, Japan.“ he read the caption.

„Tokyo, Japan, has been struck with abnormalities of higher calibre.“ he scoffed, another journalists trying to sound cool.

Then he scrolled down, he saw another one. „Oslo, Norway, abnormalities, Stockholm, Sweden, countless deaths, Ottawa, Canada, loss of lives, Moscow, Russia, abnormal cold.“ Solvyr read through the comments and the news.

„The world is truly coming to an end.“ he laughed and put his phone away, he was too preoccupied with his own life to think about abnormalities and disasters happening in the world.

His tram arrived on time, which was rare, he stepped inside and repeated the endless cycle again, buy a ticket, find a seat or stand, smell smelly people and listen to their pointless talks. He forgot about the news as soon, as he found a place to stand, he didn’t have the time to think about something he deemed unworthy and pointless.

He put his phone away, listening to his old favourite songs, he didn’t need to change his playlist, it was futile, he listened to them only on the way to work and back, once at home, he’d throw his phone away and go to sleep or eat his leftovers from the previous day.

„Did you hear? They say the world is going to end soon.“ people started talking, Solvyr tried to ignore them, but the noise was too loud.

„I read the news this morning, Japan was glowing with weird light, since then, no other news are known.“

„I hear the same about Canada, my sister lives there, but I can’t contact her.“ the worried voices of people echoed through the crowded tram.

„Oh, dear, you must be so worried.“ others reassured her, that it’ll be fine.

„I also have relatives in Oslo, they didn’t contact me either.“ others joined their talk, the once quiet tram was now the noisiest one.

Solvyr’s stop came soon, fortunately for him. He left as fast as he could to stop the pounding in his head, as the people inside talked, his head pounded with a weird sensation, he clutched his hair and whined.

„Ugh, what’s wrong with me today?“ he shoook his head and, amidst the pain, walked to his office building. He could hear the annoying voices from inside the first floor, he needed to bravely cross it and take the lift, he then needs to press the button of the 6th floor and breathe out of relief, but it cannot be that easy.

„Nytherion, you’re just on time!“ Solvyr rolled his eyes in disbelief at how unlucky he was.

„Mr. Dane, what do you need?“ Solvyr turned to the older man with gray hair and bigger body. He was the manager of his team, he liked to conspire against him and make his life a living hell.

„I need you to do me a favor, I know you can do it.“ the old geezer smiled. It was a sinister smile, not genuine at all.

„I have this task from the higher ups, but I need to stay here today, so I can’t make it till the deadline.“ his words were spiked with poison, his smile didn’t reach his eyes, he was doing this on purpose.

„I’m sorry manager, but you know I need to stay here or else they might reprimend me for my attendance and work.“ Solvyr tried to find a way out of this and go to his office table.

„Oh, dear me, I promise I’ll talk with the higher ups and tell them, that I sent you there.“ lies, he would never do so.

„It’ll be quick, you just need to take this paper and box,“ he gave Solvyr a case with papers and a small box. „And just bring it to the adress written on top.“ with that, the manager left, he didn’t wait for Solvyr’s consent.

„Manager-“ Solvyr sighed, as he saw Richard Dane’s disappearing silhouette.

„He never gives me any other choice, bastard.“ he swore under his breath and looked at the adress written on top of the box.

„Fine, I’ll take it, but if I get fired, I’ll bring you down with me, manager Dane.“ Solvyr slowly left through the front door again. He knew it’ll be longer than just a few minutes. This adress was quite far away, but he didn’t know, what luck he had today.

Today was the luckiest and unluckiest day of Solvyr’s life. He grew up to be a lonely person, but there was that fire, that dream in him, that pushed him forward. Even without knowing, who he really is, this was just the beginning of his journey.
