Well took a mini-braincation so no writing nor transcribing for almost a week. A nice change of pace. Gives me time to think about things... details aren't important. Anyhow, back for some more storytelling, and also got a surprise which should hopefully be up tonight.

Ace of Time
The bees stopped buzzing. The flowers no longer flowed with the wind. Even the wind itself stood still. Time had frozen. And at the end of this frozen picture was a lone figure, observing his handywork.
He removed the gloves from his hands, the sweater from his chest and the cap from his head. "It is nice to get out of such stuffy clothes." Underneath it all, he wore a finely tailored suit. He removed a pair of sunglasses from his pockets and put them on his face.
"If I had known I would have been able to stop this silly bickering, I would have done it sooner. Now who do I help?" The figure thought to himself.
Before he could draw any conclusion, a voice shouted at him in confusion, "Who the hell are you and what the hell is going on?"
The figure turned to the source of the voice, "I can explain what's going on, but as for who I am. That's a complicated question. I can tell you where it all began."

On the eve of his 13th birthday, a little boy wandered around his house in a state of excitement and anticipation. He would finally reach the next plateu of his life becoming a teenager. His parents had planned a huge elaborate party for him and all his friends and family were going to be there. How did his parents expect him to sleep knowing what the next day bought?
His parents sent him to bed almost an hour ago and when they finally thought that he was asleep they snuck off into their rooms to discuss last minute details. The boy did not mean to eavesdrop but he overheard his dad telling his mom that he would pick up the realy special gift bright and early, and that he should be back before the party is over. The boy's mother complained that he should have gotten the gift sooner, but the father countered that he did not want the boy accidently discovering his gift early. The mother had no option but to concede to his point.
The boy tiptoed away from his parent's door even more excited now. The ideas of what this surprise gift could be consumed his mind for the next 3 hours. Finally, the sleep overtook his body and when he opened his eyes it was the next day.
On the table next to his bed, there sat a lone card which had to be from his parents. On the cover of the card was Jimmy Bucker, the boy's idol. One of the premier secret agents in fiction. The card had the usual blurb about best wishes, love and hoping to see many more. The boy appreciated the card, but he knew he would be reading dozens more like it throughout the day.
He stood the card on his dresser and began to get dressed. As he finished getting dressed, his mother entered the room with a tray full of his favorite breakfast items. He munched down on a little of everything and kissed his mother goodbye. His friends had made plans for the day before his party.
-------------------------
The party was everything he expected it to be. His closest friends and his family giving him gifts and money that he would waste in the weeks to come. He thanked everyone personally with that smile that lit up even the darkiest rooms.
Now, he waited for the main event. The party would be over in a little less than 30 minutes so he figured his father planned to make a huge entrance with his final gift.
While he was not nervous, he watched the door and the clock hoping that his father would not miss the end of the party. Then guests began to leave the party, his mother tried to convince them to stay, but could find no reason for them too. It would be difficult to explain why her husband was late to his son's party. When all the guests were gone, the mother and son remained in the living room waiting for the father to arrive.
He never came. The boy fell asleep in his mother's arms for the last time that night. She awoke in the middle of the night. It was her husband, he could not speak long but informed her that he would not be returning and that one day her and his boy would forgive him. He sent his best to his son and hung up.
The mother stood paralyzed with the phone in her head not believing what she just heard. As the realization began to hit her, tears streamed down her cheeks.
The noise woke the young boy now who came to his mother's side. He asked what was wrong, but she could only cry. He hugged his mother and told her everything would be okay. "Daddy will be home soon." The mother only wept louder now.

It was a different story, but eh. Trying something new for origins. you can figure out who the little boy is or stay tune for the next section. :p
