[ WP ] Someone breaks into your house and says , `` You 're my favorite character in the book ! I ca n't let it end the way it did . I 'm going to help you . ''

First time I saw him was before graduating high school. I do n't remember why I had the house to myself that weekend, but that's when he first came. 
 
 I do n't remember much from that night but I know I was so drunk when I got home, I first thought I was imagining him. I mean, because of what he was saying. 
 
 Things like `` You'll be executed for raping Anna.'' and `` That's my favorite book in the world, and you're my favorite character. I ca n't let you end like that.'' 
 
 I mean, that's insane. Rape? I would n't hurt a fly. 
 
 Than he made me sober up and study math. I thought he kept me prisoner, so I complied, but he left before my parents returned. I did n't tell anyone about it because I was starting to believe him. He was not only very convincing, but he knew details about me no one else knew. And he told me little things from the future that turned out to become true, too. 
 
 He came back. Made me go to college. Enroll in the army. Take a lead position in the insurgence. Become the leader of the new world. Sponsor and sustain the space programs and try to set colonies on inhabitable planets. 
 
 After that he did n't return for the longest time and I finally met an Anna: my own daughter. Her mother named her without asking me and there was nothing I could do about it. 
 
 At the same time another rebellion was in the works. While humanity progressed towards the stars there were also those who were afraid of the future and turned towards religion. It's against God to want to reach the stars. We're building another Babel tower, they said. 
 
 So the fuckers started the Armageddon. Yes, I admit I neglected Anna during those years, but I was busy with the war so do n't blame me. Her mother and I split on bad terms and she wanted to keep her sheltered from the public and, I assume, me. Then we accidentally met on Saturn, in a luxury vacation resort, while I was disguised and she was using another name. We fell madly in love and we had an affair. Then we went on our separate ways. That was more than 20 years ago. There's nothing more to that story. Anna and I saw each other face to face numerous times these last couple years, since she got involved in the military but we both pretend nothing happened. 
 
 That's it until now. I have n't seen the guy since before my affair with Anna. I do n't know what happens next. No matter how much I insisted, he never told me any details about my death besides that single sentence on the day we first met. So I do n't know how the story ends. Maybe I'll die an old man. But I hope not. That would be a boring way to end it all. Actually, you know what? I *hope* I go with a bang. Either way, I already made into the history books.
